Overview

RULE:

62-304.640

Withlacoochee River Basin TMDLs

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the rule is to adopt a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), and its allocations, for certain waters impaired for nutrients in the Withlacoochee Basin.  Furthermore, in accordance with paragraph 62-302.531(2)(a), F.A.C., the nutrient TMDL for Lake Juliana will constitute a 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 subsection 62-302.531(2) for this surface water segment.

SUMMARY:

This TMDL addresses certain nutrient impairments in the Withlacoochee Basin.  Specifically, the nutrient TMDL rule being proposed for adoption is for Lake Juliana (WBID 1484B).  This waterbody was verified for nutrient impairments using the methodology established in Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., Identification of Impaired Surface Waters.  The methodology used to develop the TMDLs was the percent reduction method.  This rulemaking has been given an OGC case number 16-0390.
