Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-306.100 - Scope and Intent
(1) This chapter
establishes the requirements for water quality credit trading between pollutant
sources to reduce or eliminate nutrient or nutrient-related impairments
pursuant to Section 403.067, F.S.
(2) The generation, registration, and trading
of water quality credits provided for in this chapter are intended to provide
flexibility among pollutant sources to meet the nutrient reduction requirements
of an adopted Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) or Reasonable Assurance Plan
(RAP). Copies of BMAP and RAP documents may be obtained by writing to the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection, 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS
#3510, Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400.
(3) A BMAP provides for the implementation of
Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) adopted by the Department in Chapter 62-304,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). A RAP, pursuant to Rule
62-303.600, F.A.C., provides for
the restoration of impaired waters.
(4) This chapter does not address aggregation
of wasteload allocations by an entity with multiple wastewater facilities,
which may be implemented via an aggregate permit that limits the total
allocated nutrient TMDL load for the entity.
(5) Nothing in this rule is intended to limit
any actions by federal, state, or local agencies, affected persons, or citizens
pursuant to other rules or regulations.
