Summary


These TMDLs address certain fecal coliform impairments in the Pensacola Bay Basin. Specifically, the TMDL rules being proposed for adoption are for the Blackwater River (Tidal), the East Bay River (Marine Portion), the Escambia River, Texar Bayou, Carpenter Creek, Turkey Creek, and the Yellow River. These waterbodies were verified as impaired using the methodology established in Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., Identification of Impaired Surface Waters. The methodology used to develop these TMDLs was the percent reduction method. This rulemaking has been given an OGC case number 12-1171.
