§ 5.7.3. Wellhead/wellfield protection areas (WHPAs).

A.

Three WHPA zones are hereby created and arranged as a series of concentric rings as provided in Table 5.7-1 Wellhead/Wellfield Protection Area (WHPA) Zones.

Table 5.7-1: Wellhead/Wellfield Protection Area (WHPA) Zones

Zone	Community Water System (CWS) (§ 62-521.200(1) FAC) Wellhead/Wellfield Type
	Serving On-site Only	Serving one or more properties under separate and/or different ownership
Primary	≤200'	≤200'
Secondary	>200' to ≤300'	>200' to ≤500'
Tertiary	n/a	>500' to ≤1,000'

 

At a minimum, each zone shall be measured from the well casing. If the casing location is not specifically known/indentified, the well location may be estimated using the longitude/latitude of the well and the well diameter as established by the well's WMD/DOH permitting data.

B.

The applicable provisions for each protection zone shall be inclusive of any smaller zone contained within the larger zone; however, more restrictive provisions, if any, for the smaller zone shall apply within that zone.

C.

The Planning/Zoning Manager, in consultation with the MCUD Director, shall be responsible for determining if a lot/parcel is located wholly or partially in a particular Wellhead/Wellfield Protection Area Zone. Any appeal of this determination shall be made to the Development Review Committee.
