To receive public comments on draft nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters in the Lake Worth Lagoon Basin, to be adopted in Rule 62-304.715, F.A.C. The draft TMDLs to be presented at the public workshop are for Pine Lake (3245C4) and Lake Osborne (3256A). 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 5, 2020. Written comments should be directed to: Ansel Bubel, Environmental Administrator, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, MS 3555, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, Ansel.Bubel@Floridadep.gov.
