Subject


This public workshop is for interested stakeholders to discuss with the Department issues related to development of nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for Lake Tallavana (WBID 540A) in the Ochlockonee River Basin. The workshop will provide an opportunity for the Department to present the general approach to establish nutrient TMDLs for this impaired lake. Furthermore, the Department intends for the nutrient TMDL, if adopted, to constitute site specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criteria 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, F.A.C., for the particular surface water segment. Written comments on the TMDL approach should be directed to: Douglas Gilbert, Environmental Manager, Watershed Evaluation and TMDL Section, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, MS 3555, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 or via email: Douglas.Gilbert@dep.state.fl.us.
