Sovereignty Springs
Those springs which arise in tidal or navigable waters, known as sovereignty springs and spring
runs, are to be protected by the Rule of law contained in F.A.C. 18 - 21.004(6). That rule is not
given effect in either the Citrus County nor the City of Crystal River comprehensive plans. Thus
developments are being permitted to take place by default, which adversely effect water quality so
vital to the ecology fed by the waters issuing from those springs into the coastal rivers (sovereignty
spring runs) of Citrus County.
Resultant degradation of water quality is leading to progressive eutrophication and ultimately to
decline of both commercial and recreational fishing with serious consequential dollar costs to us
all.
