To receive public comments on draft nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters in the Hillsborough River Basin, to be adopted in Rule 62-304.610, F.A.C. The draft TMDLs to be presented at the public workshop are for Lake Thonotosassa (1522B) and Flint Creek (1522A). These nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, will constitute site-specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion set forth in paragraph 62-302.530(48)(b), F.A.C., that would replace the otherwise applicable numeric nutrient criteria in subsection 62-302.531(2) for these particular waters. The Department will accept written comments on the draft TMDLs, as well as the establishment of these nutrient TMDLs as site-specific interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion, through February 21, 2019. Written comments should be directed to: Erin Rasnake, Program Administrator, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, MS 3555, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, Erin.Rasnake@dep.state.fl.us.
