The Florida Springs Council has provided a short video where the DEP admits they have done nothing to improve their past useless non-action on saving the springs.
How can they keep a straight face when making these absurd statements?

Springs Conservation 💦 February Recap
🏛️ Springs Harm Rule – Legal Challenge
Update: FSC’s legal team, including our staff, attorneys and volunteers, are neck-deep into pre-trial legal work, depositions and discovery. Our team will be in Tallahassee on March 18 for a hearing in our legal challenge against FDEP’s proposed “Springs Harm Rule.”
Background: Back in January, FSC filed an administrative petition to invalidate FDEP’s proposed “Springs Harm Rule” because the proposed rule is circular, vague, and essentially the same as the consumptive use permitting rules already in place. We will continue to update our members as this legal challenge continues.
In a presentation to the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee on February 3, FDEP acknowledged the proposed Springs Harm Rule is nearly identical to the rules already in place, confirming one of the very reasons we’re challenging FDEP’s proposed springs harm rule in court. You can watch a clip of the committee meeting where FDEP admits the proposed rules do not set any new standards here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFodJewNho8/
