Minimum Levels Reevaluation: Gore Lake Flagler County, Florida

摘要

This report describes the St. Johns River Water Management Districts (SJRWMDs) minimum flows and levels (MFLs) reevaluation for Gore Lake in Flagler County. The SJRWMD Governing Board adopted minimum levels for Gore Lake in 1998 (Mace 1997). MFLs are to be reviewed periodically and revised as needed (Section 373.0421(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.)). Recent completion of a hydrologic model for Gore Lake (CDM 2005) indicated that the adopted minimum frequent high and minimum average levels were barely being met under 2003 modeled hydrologic conditions. Consequently, a reevaluation of the adopted Gore Lake MFLs was performed. This reevaluation has resulted in the recommendation to modify the adopted MFLs for Gore Lake (Table ES-1) based on current SJRWMD MFLs determination methodology.
