The Department is reviewing two petitions from Tampa Bay Water for the reclassification from Class III waters to Class I waters of: (1) the Alafia River between Bell Shoals Road and the confluence with the North and South Prongs of the Alafia River, including Fishhawk Creek and Little Fishhawk Creek, but excluding Turkey Creek, Medard Reservoir and tributaries thereto; and (2) the Tampa Bypass Canal and the Harney Canal as delimited by Structure S-160 on the south, Structure S-163 on the north, and Structure S-161 on the west. Both areas proposed for reclassification lie entirely within Hillsborough County and are currently used for water supply purposes. The Department conducted a public workshop in Tampa on October 9, 2009 on the proposed reclassifications. Based on the Department’s analysis, a site specific alternative criterion (SSAC) for fluoride in the area proposed for reclassification in the Alafia River may be appropriate.
