Adopted Verified Lists Of Impaired Waters for the Group 3 Basins
Please Note: Revisions to the Group 3 Lists of Impaired
Waters
As part of the agency action adopting the lists of impaired
waters for the Group 4 Basins, the Department also revised the
verified list of impaired waters for two of the Group 3 basins
(Lake Worth Lagoon and Peace River Basins), which were adopted on
June 17, 2005. The Group 3 lists were revised to remove eight
waters from the verified list based on new information that the
waters were not, in fact, impaired.

The lists below are the first step in the process of restoring
impaired waters for these basins. Now that these waters have been adopted by
Secretarial Order, the Department staff will begin
developing TMDLs for these waters. A TMDL represents the maximum amount of
pollutant loading that can be discharged to a water body and have its
designated uses be met. The final step in this process will be the
development, by watershed stakeholders and DEP, of a Basin Management Action
Plan (BMAP). The BMAP will specify the activities, schedule, and funding
sources that point and nonpoint source dischargers will undertake to restore
the water body.
