To receive public comments on draft nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters in the Kissimmee River Basin, to be adopted in Rule 62-304.515, F.A.C. The draft TMDLs to be presented at the public workshop are for Reedy Lake (WBID 1685D), Lake Ida (1685E), Hickory Lake (1730), Lake Clinch (1706), and Lake Adelaide (1730D). These nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, will constitute site-specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion set forth in paragraph 62-302.530(48)(b), F.A.C., that would replace the otherwise applicable numeric nutrient criteria in subsection 62-302.531(2) for these particular waters. The Department will accept written comments on the draft TMDLs, as well as the establishment of these nutrient TMDLs as site-specific interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion, through September 13, 2019. Written 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@Floridadep.gov.
