Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-303.710 - Format of Verified List and Verified List Approval
(1) The Department shall follow the
methodology established in this chapter to develop basin-specific Verified List
of impaired water segments. The Verified List shall specify the pollutant or
pollutants causing the impairment and the concentration of the pollutant(s)
causing the impairment. If the water segment is listed based on numeric water
quality criteria, then the Verified List shall provide the applicable criteria.
However, if the listing is based on narrative or biological criteria, or
impairment of other designated uses, and the water quality criteria are met,
the list shall specify the concentration of the pollutant relative to the water
quality criteria and explain why the numerical criterion is not
adequate.
(2) Segments impaired for
pollutants that are no longer legally allowed to be used or discharged shall
not be placed on the Verified List because the TMDL will be zero for the
pollutant.
(3) For waters impaired
for biological health or dissolved oxygen, the Department shall identify the
pollutants causing or contributing to the impairment on the Verified List. If
the factor(s) causing the impairment cannot be identified, the water shall be
placed on the Study List.
(4) The
Verified List shall also include the priority and the schedule for TMDL
development established for the water segment, as required by federal
regulations.
(5) The Verified List
shall be approved by order of the Secretary and the order shall also note any
waters that are being removed from the Verified List.
