St. Johns River Basin Management Action Plan
The
LSJR BMAP identifies the management strategies necessary
to achieve the nutrient TMDLs for the main stem of the river from the
confluence of the Ocklawaha River north to the mouth of the river. The
Final Order has been assigned OGC Case No. 08-2428.
TMDL Goals
- Provides information dissemination and exchange among stakeholder
groups.
- Secures stakeholder participation in the detailed allocation and
implementation stages of the TMDL process, bringing in diverse
expertise and perspectives.
- Provides a forum to assemble stakeholder allocation agreements and
forge consensus on an implementation plan.
- Improves linkages between TMDL implementation and growth
management decisions of local governments.

General Committee Characteristics:
-
The committee was appointed in 2002 by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP)-Northeast District Director Ernie
Frey and continues to meet at least annually, now that the
allocations are being implemented.
The type and number of seats was adjusted slightly
(increased) during the process, but the overall distribution of
representation by various entities has remained consistent.
The most difficulties have been to maintain active
participation by the two environmental interest seats as well as to
achieve good communications back and forth with agricultural
interests through an individual representative.
-
The committee has seats that represent a larger number of individual
stakeholders because the total number of affected entities was too
large to have each entity on the committee.
-
The current FDEP-Northeast District Director Greg Strong handles
appointments if personnel changes occur or committee members become
inactive.
-
The committee notes, procedures, archives, and administration are
handled by an independent facilitator (Tiffany Busby) under contract
with FDEP.
For more information about the committee, please contact Tiffany Busby
at 904-797-2721 or email
