GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Department of Environmental Protection will bring before the ERC amendments to Chapters 62-302, and 62-303, F.A.C., for approval to adopt. The Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration will present proposed revisions to Florida's human health-based surface water quality criteria in Chapter 62-302, F.A.C. In addition, the department will present revisions to establish a new sub-classification of surface waters (Class I-Treated, Treated Potable Water Supplies) within Chapter 62-302, F.A.C., and reclassify seven surface waters from Class III waters to Class I-Treated waters. Based on the proposed changes to Chapter 62-302, F.A.C., the department will also present amendments to Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., to update the listing methodology for assessing human health-based water quality criteria and incorporate the Class I-Treated classification as part of the process to identify impaired surface waterbodies.
