DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Department of Environmental Protection announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: November 19, 2014, 8:30 a.m.

PLACE: Orange County Environmental Protection Division, 800 Mercy Drive, Suite 4, Orlando, Florida

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This public meeting is for interested stakeholders to discuss with the Department issues related to development of nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for Lake Roberts and Marshall Lake in the Ocklawaha River basin. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the Department to present the general approach to establish nutrient TMDLs for these impaired lakes. Furthermore, in accordance with paragraph 62-302.531(2)(a), F.A.C., the Department intends for these nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, to constitute site specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion set forth in paragraph 62-302.530(47)(b), F.A.C., that will supersede the otherwise applicable numeric nutrient criteria in rule 62-302.531, F.A.C., for the particular surface water segment. Written comments on the TMDL approach should be directed to: Xueqing Gao, Environmental Administrator, Watershed Evaluation and TMDL Section, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, MS 3555, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 or via email: [e-mail].
