This document is an Exhibit B to a Wellfield and Water Withdrawal Restrictive Covenant for Pasco County, Florida, focusing on wellfield protection and groundwater management guidelines. The exhibit outlines comprehensive policies for limiting the discharge of toxic substances and harmful pollutants into groundwater aquifers, specifically targeting areas within 200 feet of major potable water supply wells. The document establishes minimum criteria for groundwater quality, prohibiting discharges that are harmful to plants, animals, or organisms, carcinogenic, or toxic to human beings, and requiring compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Regulation standards.

The document details specific restrictions for land use activities within wellfields, including prohibitions on handling, storing, or using toxic or hazardous materials, limitations on wastewater effluent disposal, and requirements for emergency collection devices and containment systems. The county reserves the right to impose additional conditions of development approval if a proposed land use or activity poses a significant threat to groundwater, wellfields, or potable water supply wells. Monitoring and reporting requirements are specified, such as installing groundwater monitoring wells, implementing containment systems for regulated substances, and filing quarterly reports with the county detailing analytical results of monitored substances.
