Description: Northwest Florida Water Management District (District) has been delegated responsibility for the permitting of construction of water wells within the District's jurisdictional boundaries. The District has developed a set of rules addressing the construction requirements for wells and these rules are incorporated into Chapter 40A-3, Florida Administrative Code. The grouting requirements for the construction of water wells within the District were modified by the Department of Environmental Protection in a letter dated September 10, 1980. This DEP letter created the Grout Line.

Description: Water Management Districts in Florida are mandated by the Florida Statutes to ensure adequate supply of water and water resources for all citizens and natural features, provide protection and improvement of natural systems and water quality, and minimize harm to water resources. Water Management Districts have the regulatory authority for well construction, drilling, and abandonment decisions. The DEP issued an exemption to the grouting rules of the District in a letter dated September 10, 1980. Under this exemption grouting requirements associated with the construction of wells determined to be "north" of the Grout Line were relaxed and grouting requirements for wells completed into the limestone aquifer south of the Grout Line were not relaxed. These grouting requirements were incorporated into section 40A-3.517, Florida Administrative Code.
Description: Water Management Districts in Florida are mandated by the Florida Statutes to ensure adequate supply of water and water resources for all citizens and natural features, provide protection and improvement of natural systems and water quality, and minimize harm to water resources. Water Management Districts have the regulatory authority for well construction, drilling, and abandonment decisions. For permitting and planning purposes Northwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board has designated areas where water supply and quality are at a disadvantage compared to the current and future demand. In Water Resource Caution Areas special permitting rules apply for withdrawal of water from both ground and surface water resources for consumptive use permitting. These areas include coastal areas of Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties and the upper Telogia Creek drainage basin in Gadsden County (Rule 40A-2.802 Florida Administrative Code). These are areas where fresh water resources are currently experiencing significant shortage of supply or will experience reduction in supply in the future due to natural or man-made causes, e.g. salt water intrusion, mineralization, upcoming of lower quality of water, contamination from human activity etc.(Section 40A-2.801 FAC). Special permitting rules apply for these areas details about which can be found in the RULES OF THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT CHAPTER 40A-2, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE at http://www.nwfwmd.state.fl.us/permits/rules/ch40a2.pdf

Water Management Districts have the regulatory authority for well construction, drilling, and abandonment decisions. For permitting and planning purposes the Northwest Florida Water Management District Governing Board has designated areas where resource concerns exist related to water availability, water quality, high anticipated growth in demand, or other factors. In Areas of Resource Concern (ARC) special permitting rules apply for withdrawal of water from both ground and surface water resources for consumptive use permitting. These areas include portions of Bay and Gadsden counties delineated on the map contained in Rule 40A-2.902, Florida Administrative Code.
