RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

62-304.800:Caloosahatchee River Basin TMDLs.

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

DATE AND TIME: Thursday, August 29, 2013, 10:00 a.m.

PLACE: Dallas B. Townsend Agricultural Center, 1085 Pratt Boulevard, LaBelle, Florida.

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The modeling and strategy related to developing the total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters in the Caloosahatchee Basin, to be adopted in rule 62-304.800. A Final Workshop will follow this workshop at a later date where the Draft TMDLs will be presented for comment. The TMDL materials to be discussed at this workshop will include modeling of the following impaired waters; the S-4 Basin (3246), Cypress Branch (3235G), Townsend Canal (3235L), Lake Hicpochee (3237C), Ninemile Canal (3237D), Deep Lagoon Canal (3240A4), Billy Creek (3240J), Caloosahatchee River between S-78 and S-79 (3235B), Jack’s Branch (3235D), Long Hammock Creek (3237B), Popash Creek (3240Q), and Cape Coral (3240A2). Furthermore, upon paragraph 62-302.531(2)(a), F.A.C., becoming effective, any of these rules which establish nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, are intended 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 paragraph 62-302.531(2)(c) for these particular surface water segments.
