Summary
This TMDL addresses fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient impairments in the Apalachicola River Basin. Specifically, the TMDL rules being proposed for adoption are fecal coliform TMDLs for Flat Creek and Sweetwater Creek, and dissolved oxygen and nutrient TMDLs for Little Gully Creek. 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 the fecal coliform TMDLs was the percent reduction method. This rulemaking has been given OGC case number 09-0719.
