Purpose
The purpose of the rule is to adopt Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), and their allocations, for certain waters impaired for nutrients and/or dissolved oxygen (DO) in the Kissimmee River Basin. Furthermore, upon paragraph 62-302.531(2)(a), F.A.C., becoming effective, the nutrient TMDLs for Lake Holden, Lake Cypress, Lake Marian, Lake Jackson, and Lake Kissimmee, will constitute site specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion set forth in paragraph 62-302.530(47)(b), F.A.C., that will supersede the otherwise applicable numeric nutrient criteria in paragraph 62-302.531(2)(b) for these particular surface water segments.
