The SWRPAs are around land located adjacent to or near surface water bodies that are upstream of potable water supply systems. The SWRPA also includes the land area of applicable surface water bodies and watercourses. The protections are designed to protect downstream water quality from threats of certain types of land use activities and surface water discharges. The SWRPAs are based on, but not limited to the following criteria:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

  • The protection area along the Tampa Bypass Canal from Fowler Avenue south to State Road 60 and along the Harney Canal from the Hillsborough River to the Tampa Bypass Canal extends 1,000 feet from the outside edge of the top of the bank on both sides of the canal.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • The protection area on the primary reach of the Hillsborough River and Alafia River consists of a protection area based on the FEMAs designated 100-year floodplain plus a 200-foot buffer. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI>

  • The protection areas for named tributaries that are directly connected to the Alafia and Hillsborough Rivers and have overall perennial flow (based on USGS/EPA data) are based on the FEMAs designated 100-year floodplain. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/UL>
