Summary
The Department is amending Rule 62-302.800, F.A.C., to establish Site Specific Alternative Criteria for transparency in the lower Fenholloway River and near-shore waters. The SSAC fully protects the designated use of the waters and will replace the default transparency criteria in Rule 62-302.530, F.A.C., for these waters.
Chapter 62-302 or Rule 62-302.800, F.A.C., is referenced by a number of other rules. The proposed amendments will have no effect on the following referenced rules other than to allow a discharger to meet a less stringent criterion for transparency than the criterion listed in the Table in Rule 62-302.530, F.A.C.: Rules 62-4.246, 62-25.001, 62-25.025, 62-25.080, 62-29.050, 62-40.120, 62-40.210, 62-110.106, 62-113.200, 62-301.100, 62-302.300, 62-302.500, 62-302.800, 62-303.100, 62-303.200, 62-303.430, 62-304.310, 62-304.335, 62-304.500, 62-312.050, 62-312.340, 62-312.816, 62-330.100, 62-330.200, 62-341.486, 62-346.051, 62-346.301, 62-528.610, 62-528.630, 62-600.120. 62-600.200, 62-600.300, 62-600.400, 62-600.430, 62-600.440, 62-600.500, 62-600.520, 62-610.200, 62-610.300, 62-610.310, 62-610.650, 62-610.670, 62-610.850, 62-611.200, 62-611.450, 62-611.500, 62-611.600, 62-611.650, 62-611.700, 62-620.320, 62-620.400, 62-620.620, 62-620.800, 62-624.800, 62-625.300, 62-673.340, 62-673.610, 62-701.200, 62-701.300, 62-709.500, 62-711.540, 62-761.200, 62-762.201, 62-770.200, 62-771.100, 62-777.150, 62-777.170, 62-780.200, 62-782.200, 62-785.200, and 62B-49.012, F.A.C.
