The purpose of this division is to provide regulations to protect and improve the
water quality of the Indian River Lagoon, the county's only class II waters designated
by the state department of environmental protection in accordance with rule 17-3.161,
Florida Administrative Code, and the only waters designated for special protection
by the state legislature pursuant to the Surface Water Improvement and Management
Act (SWIM). Said class II designation authorizes shellfish propagation and harvesting.
Said water quality criteria applicable to this class are designed to maintain the
minimum conditions necessary to ensure the suitability of water for the designated
use of the classification. Said SWIM designation allows for special coordinated protection
for these surface waters. The regulations in this division are designed to reduce
the negative impacts of development adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon and protect
this vital natural resource and the shellfish harvesting industry in this area. The
boundaries of the Indian River Lagoon surface water improvements and management zone
minimum standards are as follows: on the north by the southern city limits of the
City of New Smyrna Beach; on the east by U.S. Highway A-1-A; on the west by U.S. Highway
1; and on the south by the Brevard County line.
