62-304.325. Choctawhatchee River Basin TMDLs  


Effective on Sunday, May 9, 2021
  • 1(1) Choctawhatchee River. The bacteriological TMDL for the Choctawhatchee River from the state line to Wrights Creek is an annual median of 4.913 x 102613 27colonies/day, and is allocated as follows:

    33(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is for each facility to meet its permit limits for fecal coliform;

    52(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    69(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is 76to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the average measured concentrations for the year the Secretary adopted the verified list that first listed the waterbody as impaired for fecal coliform, will require 120a 60% reduction of in-stream fecal coliform concentrations.

    128(2) Alligator Creek. The bacteriological TMDL for Alligator Creek is 400 counts/100mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:

    148(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is not applicable;

    158(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    175(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2002 to 2009 period, will require a 94% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

    223(3) Camp Branch. The 227bacteriological 228TMDL for Camp Branch is 400 counts/100mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:

    243(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources must meet the facility’s permit condition. The WLA is granted to the City of Bonifay Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF);

    269(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    286(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2002 to 2009 period, will require an 88% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

    334(4) Minnow Creek. The 338bacteriological 339TMDL for Minnow Creek is 400 counts/100mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:

    354(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is not applicable;

    364(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    381(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2002 to 2009 period, will require an 81% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

    429(5) Minnow Creek. The DO TMDLs for Minnow Creek are 21,310 lbs/year of TN and 3,195 lbs/year of TP, and are allocated as follows:

    455(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is not applicable;

    465(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    482(c) The LAs for nonpoint sources are to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the DO criterion, which, based on the average of the calculated loadings from the 2003 – 2008 period, will require a 30% reduction of TN and 31% reduction of TP at sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

    539(6) Sikes Creek. The 543bacteriological 544TMDL for Sikes Creek is 400 counts/100mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:

    559(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is not applicable;

    569(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    586(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2002 to 2009 period, will require a 48% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

    634(7) Sikes Creek. The DO TMDL for Sikes Creek is 21,819 lbs/year of TN, and is allocated as follows:

    654(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is not applicable;

    664(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

    681(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the DO criterion, which, based on the average of the calculated loadings from the 2004-2008 period, will require a 24% reduction of TN at sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.
