Subject


This public meeting is for interested stakeholders to discuss with the Department issues related to development of a nutrient total maximum daily load (TMDL) for Crescent Lake in the Lower St. Johns River basin. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the Department to present the general approach to establish the nutrient TMDL for this impaired lake. Furthermore, the Department intends for the nutrient TMDL, if adopted, to constitute a site specific numeric interpretation 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 subsection 62-302.531(2), F.A.C., for the particular surface water segment. Written comments on the TMDL approach should be directed to: Wayne Magley, 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: wayne.magley@dep.state.fl.us.
