Subject
To receive public comments on nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for an impaired waterbody in the Ochlockonee River Basin, to be adopted in Rule 62-304.415, F.A.C. These nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, will constitute site specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion set forth in paragraph 62-302.530(47)(b), F.A.C., that would replace the otherwise applicable numeric nutrient criteria in subsection 62-302.531(2), F.A.C., for this particular waterbody. The TMDLs to be presented at the public workshop are nutrient TMDLs for Lake Tallavana (540A). The draft report for these TMDLs will be posted on the Department’s TMDL webpage (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/tmdl/draft_tmdl.htm) on April 24, 2015, for public review. Written comments on these TMDLs, as well as the establishment of these nutrient TMDLs as site specific interpretations of the narrative nutrient criteria, will be accepted by the Department through May 24, 2015. These comments should be directed to: Xueqing Gao, Administrator, Watershed Evaluation and TMDL Section, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Mail Station 3555, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, email: xueqing.gao@dep.state.fl.us.
