The Department announces the availability of the FINAL lists of
impaired waters for the Group 4 Basins: Pensacola Bay, Nassau River-St.
Marys River, Withlacoochee River, Kissimmee River, Fisheating Creek, and
Southeast Coast-Biscayne Bay. These lists were adopted by an
Secretarial Order
signed on November 2, 2010. The Verified
and Delist lists can be found at the links provided below. Requests for
an administrative hearing to challenge a listing decision must be
received no later than December 3, 2010.
These lists represent the second rotation through the Group 4 basins
and another step in the process of restoring impaired waters for these
basins. Now that these lists have been adopted by Secretarial Order, the
Department staff will begin developing TMDLs for waters on the verified
list. A TMDL represents the maximum amount of pollutant loading that can
be discharged to a water body and have its designated uses be met. After
TMDL adoption, the next 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.
The next rotation through these basins is scheduled to begin in July
2015.
