GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This general public meeting is for interested stakeholders to discuss with the Department issues related to development of a nutrient total maximum daily load (TMDL) for Lake Tallavana in the Ochlockonee River basin.

Furthermore, upon paragraph 62-302.53(2)(a), F.A.C., becoming effective, the Department intends for this nutrient TMDL to constitute a site specific numeric interpretation 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 for the particular surface water segment. Written comments on the TMDL approach should be directed to: Jan Mandrup-Poulsen, 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].
