The Department is initiating rulemaking to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for certain surface waters within the Ocklawaha River Basin where those waters previously have been identified as impaired for specific pollutants and included on the Department’s verified list of impaired waters. Chapter 62-304, F.A.C., was established as the rule chapter within which rules adopting TMDLs shall reside. Furthermore, in accordance with paragraph 62-302.531(2)(a), F.A.C., any of these rules which establish nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, are intended to constitute site specific numeric interpretations 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, F.A.C., for the particular surface water segment.
