The department is re-noticing this meeting previously published in the FAR on April 3, 2017, to provide additional description of the waters to be discussed at the April 14 meeting. Specifically, this technical meeting is for interested stakeholders to discuss with the department the model development and total maximum daily load (TMDL) approach for Lake George (WBID 2389A) and two downstream stream segments of the St. Johns River in the Middle St. Johns River basin (WBID 2893A5 – St. Johns River below Lake George; WBID 2213O – St. Johns River above the Ocklawaha River). The meeting will provide an opportunity for the department to present steps they will take to establish TMDLs and site specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion for these waters. Written comments on the approach will be accepted by the department through April 28, 2017. These comments should be directed to: Erin Rasnake, Program Administrator, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, MS 3555, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, Erin.Rasnake@dep.state.fl.us.
