The Department’s Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration (DEAR) is holding public meetings in several locations throughout the state to discuss DEAR’s water quality assessment efforts. These public meetings are to present the revised assessment lists for the Group 1 basins, developed pursuant to Chapter 62-303, Florida Administrative Code. Supporting materials for all Group 1 basins (including the Ocklawaha, Suwannee, Lake Okeechobee, Everglades West Coast, Ochlockonee – St. Marks, and Tampa Bay Basins) are available on the Department’s ftp site at: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/DEAR/watershed/WQAP_WAS_G1C4_MtgMaterials_Revised/. The revised assessment lists will be available on the Department’s Watershed Assessment Section webpage (https://floridadep.gov/dear/watershed-assessment-section/content/news-announcements) by April 23, 2019 and will be provided upon request to interested parties by mail or via email distribution.
