Global RBCA Implementation Memorandum » During the 2003 Regular
Session, the Florida Legislature passed CS/HB 1123 (see Ch. 2003-173, Laws
of Florida), commonly known as "Global RBCA." The Governor signed the bill
into law on June 20, 2003, and the Bureau of Waste Cleanup has initiated the
rulemaking required by the new law. The purpose of this memo is not only to
notify the public of the passage of Global RBCA legislation, but also to
address several issues that made its passage so challenging.

Florida Sediment Quality Assessment Guidelines » This
report was prepared to provide the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection biological effects-based sediment
quality assessment guidelines (SQAGs) for Florida coastal
waters. A variety of approaches for deriving numerical SQAGs
were reviewed and evaluated. Using an approach recommended by
Long and Morgan (1990; National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration), preliminary SQAGs for 34 priority substances in
Florida coastal waters were derived and evaluated. These SQAGs
are intended to assist sediment quality assessment applications,
such as identifying priority areas for non-point source
management actions, designing wetland restoration projects, and
monitoring trends in environmental contamination. They are not
intended to be used as sediment quality criteria.
