Purpose
As required by the Federal Clean Water Act, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is initiating the Triennial Review of state surface water quality standards. The Department is considering revisions to specific rule sections at this time; however, all surface water quality standards in Chapter 62-4, Chapter 62-302 and Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., are under review and may be revised as part of Triennial Review. The Department proposes to revise certain parts of Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., to provide additional clarity on procedures used to assess state surface waters.
