Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-303.600 - Evaluation of Pollution Control Mechanisms
(1) Upon determining that a waterbody is
impaired or determining there is an increasing trend in nutrients with a
reasonable expectation that the waterbody will become impaired within 5 years,
the Department shall evaluate whether existing or proposed technology-based
effluent limitations and other pollution control programs under local, state,
or federal authority are sufficient to result in the attainment of applicable
water quality standards .
(2) If,
after evaluation of the pollution control mechanisms set forth in subsection
(1), the water segment is expected to attain water quality standards in the
future and is expected to make reasonable progress towards attainment of water
quality standards by the time the next section 303(d) list for the basin is
scheduled to be submitted to EPA, the segment shall not be listed on the
Verified List . The Department 's decision shall be based on a plan that provides
reasonable assurance that any proposed pollution control mechanisms and
expected improvements in water quality in the water segment will attain
applicable water quality standards .
(3) For water segments with planned or
on-going restoration activities that will address the non-attainment of water
quality standards , stakeholders may submit information to the Department
demonstrating pollutant reduction mechanisms to address the
non-attainment.
