Combined SOPs for Bioassessment Procedures, DEP-SOP-003/11, and Support Documents for Bioassessment SOPs

The DEP SOPs (BRN 1000, LVI 1000 and SCI 1000) and the primer documents for LVI and SCI listed below are incorporated by reference into Rules 62-302 and 62-303, F.A.C. At a later date, Rules 62-302 and 62-303, F.A.C., will be modified to reflect that the SOPs are part of the QA Rule (62-160, F.A.C.), once its revisions are finalized.  Note: The QA Rule (62-160, F.A.C.) will incorporate the 9-19-12 proposed revisions to BRN 1000, LVI 1000 and SCI 1000, as listed here.

The proposed 9-9-12 revisions to BRN 1000, LVI 1000 and SCI 1000 are not yet in effect.
