The Department is initiating rulemaking to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for waters in the following basins: Nassau, St. Mary’s, Kissimmee River, St. Lucie, Loxahatchee, Lake Worth Lagoon, Southeast Coast, and Fisheating Creek. Pursuant to Section 403.067(6), F.S., TMDLs must be adopted in rule by the Secretary of the Department. Chapter 62-304, F.A.C., was established as the rule chapter within which rules adopting TMDLs shall reside. TMDL development is proceeding for those waters on the Department’s Verified List of Impaired Waters, previously adopted by Secretarial Order.
