Permits
Several permitting programs are implemented
District-wide. Through the Consumptive Use Program, the District's
water supplies are allocated in a manner that is reasonable/beneficial,
in the public interest and which does not have a deleterious
impact on existing legal users or the resource.
 Well
construction rules and permits help safeguard our water supplies.
Proper construction of new wells and proper plugging of old or
abandoned wells keep pollutants out of the ground water. Other
permitting programs regulate the construction and repair of dams,
projects involving artificial recharge for the introduction of
water into any underground formation and agricultural, forestry
and wetland projects relating to the management, storage and
drainage of surface waters.
The Northwest Florida Water Management District
operates regulatory programs that address through rules, the
consumptive use of water, the construction, repair or abandonment of water wells and
licensing of water well contractors, the safety of nonagricultural
impoundments, agricultural and forestry surface
water management
facilities including "farm ponds", Stormwater Management Systems, the artificial recharge
of ground water, and works of the District.
