Our Purpose
The Santa Fe Springs Basin Working Group (SFRSBWG) is a public forum in which professionals, government entities, and citizens can learn about and discuss issues and activities that can affect the quality and quantity of water in Poe, Ginnie, Hornsby, and Gilchrist Blue Springs and their contributing areas in Alachua, Columbia, and Gilchrist Counties. SFRSBWG was founded in 1998 and was funded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Springs Initiative from 2002 - 2010. The Alachua County Environmental Protection Department has been coordinating the Group since July 2010.
