Summary


This TMDL addresses fecal coliform impairments in the Lower St. Johns River Basin. Specifically, the TMDL rules being proposed for adoption are for Big Davis Creek, Big Fishweir Creek, Block House Creek, Deep Bottom Creek, Deer Creek, McCoy Creek, Miller Creek, New Castle Creek, Open Creek, Sherman Creek, Terrapin Creek, and Trout Creek (Fresh and Marine segments). These waterbodies were verified as impaired using the methodology established in Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., Identification of Impaired Surface Waters. The methodologies used to develop the TMDLs were either the percent reduction or the load duration curve methods.
