Current through Reg. 50, No. 235-239, December 10, 2024

Section 62-304.315 - Chipola River Basin TMDLs

(1) Otter Creek. The bacteriological TMDL for Otter Creek is 400 counts/100mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:

(a) The WLA for wastewater sources is not applicable;

(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department's NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentrations meet the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2001 to 2008 period, will require a 35% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

(2) Jackson Blue Spring and Merritts Mill Pond. The nitrate-nitrite TMDL is an in-stream monthly mean concentration of 0.35 mg/L and is allocated as follows:

(a) The WLA for wastewater sources is not applicable;

(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department's NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is not applicable; and

(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream nitrate-nitrite concentrations meet the TMDL target, which, based on the mean concentrations from the 2000-2011 period, will require a 90% reduction of nitrate-nitrite.
