PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in coordination with the water management districts, proposes to develop a new Chapter 62-347, F.A.C., to develop updated stormwater quality treatment design and performance standards. These design and performance standards will update the existing criteria and reflect new research on design and performance standards, and particularly today's understanding of the impact of nutrient discharges from surface water management systems on water quality. The goal is to provide stormwater quality treatment design and performance standards that can be applied state-wide. The District proposes to amend its rules and criteria to incorporate the new Chapter 62-347, F.A.C.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Stormwater quality treatment design and performance standards for surface water management systems, with particular emphasis on standards that will reduce nutrient discharges.
