IT IS, THIERUPON, ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the City, its agents a tsnd employees, shall not withdraw, or
cause to be withdrawn, from the wells in the aforesaid Cosmne-Odessa Well
Field, Hillsborough County, Florida, any amount of water which will cause
the weekly average elevation of the potentiometric surface of the Floridan
aquifer to'be less than:
a. Twenty-one (21) feet above mean sea level, as measured at
the "Water Plant E-100" observation well (280548N0823557).
b. Twenty-four (24) feet above mean sea level, as measured at
the "James 11" observation well (280703N0823417).
c.- Twenty-three (23) feet above mean sea level, as measured
at the "Calm 33A" observation well (280836N0823438).
2. That the City, its agents and employees, shall not withdraw, or
cause to be withdrawn, from the wells in'the aforesaid Section 21 Well Field,
Hillsborough County, Florida, any amount of water which will cause the weekly
average elevation of the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer to be
less than:
a. Thirty-two (32) feet above mean sea level, as measured at
the "Hillsborough 13" observation well (280704N0823030).

3. Said weekly average referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above will
be calculated by using two readings, the high and low for each day of the
calendar week; the average of these daily figures for the calendar week will
represent the weekly average elevation of the potentiometric surface.
4. That said elevations, as provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 above
for specific potentiometric levels are subject to review, and change if nec-
essary, by the Board each six months hereafter, or if the Board deems it
necessary, at more frequent intervals.
5. That the City shall, within four months of the date of this Order,
construct a deep observation well in the approximate center of the aforesaid
Pasco Well Field, Pasco County, Florida. That said well shall be designed to
monitor the quality and potentionmetric head at or near the bottom of the pot-
able water supply in thle Floridan a(lquifer. Tlhe planIs and specifications for

Florida Statutes, to the City of St. Petersburg, a municipal corporation, here-
inafter referred to as- "City", to determine the extent and manner- in which
ground water may be withdrawn from those certain well fields operated by the
City of St. Petersburg in Hillsborough County, Florida, known as the Cosmne-
Odessa Well Field and the Section 21 Well Field, and in Pasco Coun,;ty, Florida,
known as the Pasco Well Field, all as more particularly designated on the map
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "A", without being detri-
mental to the water resources of the State of Florida, without causing irrep-
arable damage to adjacent landowners, and without resulting in contamination
; y of the water source, and the City having been present and represented by its
f counsel at said hearing, and the testimony at said hearing having been steno-
graphically recorded, and the Board having reviewed and carefully considered
"| the evidence presented to the Board at said hearing, the Board finds that a
.| preponderance of the evidence offered at said hearing shows:
A. Unregulated withdrawals of water by the City from the aforesaid
Cosme-Odessa Well Field and Section 21 Well Field are detrimental to th,, other
water users and the wYter resources of the State of Florida.
I B. That the withdrawals of water by the City from the aforesaid Pasco
SWell Field must also be regulated in order to obtain the most beneficial use

modified by order of DISTRICT, provided, however, that the well field will be
closely monitored; any adverse horizontal or vertical movement of the saltwater-
freshwater interface could necessitate appropriate modification of regulatory
levels or such other action as may be required to halt such adverse movement;
any significant adverse environmental change attributable directly to the
operation of said well field could necessitate appropriate modification of
