To receive public comments on nutrient total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters in the Ocklawaha Basin, to be adopted in Rule 62-304.500, F.A.C.. These nutrient TMDLs, if adopted, will constitute site specific numeric interpretations of the narrative nutrient criterion set forth in paragraph 62-302.530(47)(b), F.A.C., that would replace the otherwise applicable numeric nutrient criteria in subsection 62-302.531(2) for these particular waters. The TMDLs to be presented at the public workshop include nutrient TMDLs for Lochloosa Lake (2738A) and Cross Creek (2754).

Written comments on these TMDLs, as well as the establishment of these nutrient TMDLs as site specific interpretations of the narrative nutrient criteria, will be accepted by the Department through April 16, 2015.
