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

DATE AND TIME: July 29, 2014, 1:00 p.m.

PLACE: City of Palm Bay Council Chambers, 120 Malabar Road, SE, Palm Bay, Florida 32907

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This is the fourth technical meeting following the adoption of Basin Management Action Plans for the Indian River Lagoon. This meeting will cover the crediting of water quality improvement projects. A presentation will be made of estimated nutrient reductions expected from different stormwater management techniques. The Basin Management Action Plans were adopted for the North and Central Indian River Lagoon and Banana River Lagoon in February 2013. These plans were developed in response to the adoption of Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Indian River Lagoon and contain strategies for reducing nutrient loadings into the lagoon. The Total Maximum Daily Loads were adopted in March 2009. These TMDLs specify reductions in the loadings of total nitrogen and total phosphorus to the Indian River Lagoon sufficient for recovery of deeper-water seagrass habitat.
