DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

SURFACE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS

Overview

RULE:

62-302.800

Site Specific Alternative Criteria

PURPOSE:

On January 30, 2009, the Department received three petitions to initiate rulemaking from Buckeye Florida, L.P., to establish site specific alternative criteria (SSAC) for dissolved oxygen, iron, and transparency in the lower Fenholloway River and nearby coastal waters in Taylor County. If approved, the site specific alternative criteria will replace the statewide default criteria for these three water quality parameters. The site specific alternative criteria must be fully protective of the Class III designated use of the waters addressed in the petitions.

SUBJECT:

This rule development and public workshop will address the need to establish site specific alternative criteria for dissolved oxygen, iron, and transparency in the lower Fenholloway River and nearby coastal waters. The petitions for dissolved oxygen and iron are for Type I SSACs, which require approval by Secretarial Order; while the petition for transparency is for a Type II SSAC, which requires rule adoption and approval by the Environmental Regulation Commission.
