    DEP 19-0253 STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION In re: AMENDMENTS TO THE ORANGE CREEK OGC Case No. 19-0436 BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN _ _______ ________ ! FINAL ORDER AMENDING THE ORANGE CREEK BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN Pursuant to Section 403.067(7), Florida Statutes, this Final Order adopts amendments to the 2008 Orange Creek Basin Management Action Plan ("BMAP"), as that BMAP was updated and supplemented in 2014. These amendments, entitled "Orange Creek Basin Management Action Plan Amendments" and dated June 2019, are attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 1. The 2008 Orange Creek BMAP, as supplemented in 2014, remains in full force and effect, except as modified by the amendments in Exhibit 1. The Orange Creek BMAP, as amended, has been developed as part of the Department's Total Maximum Daily Load ("TMDL") Program, as authorized under the Florida Watershed Restoration Act (Section 403.067, Florida Statutes} . Surface waters covered in the Orange Creek BMAP are designated as Class III waters in accordance with Chapter 62-302, Florida Administrative Code ("F.A.C."}. Water quality for Class III waters is meant to be suitable for recreational use and for the propagation and maintenance of a healthy, well-balanced population of fish and wildlife. The Orange Creek Basin is located mostly in Alachua County. It also encompasses the north portion of Marion County and the southwestern part of Putnam County. In 2003, and 2006 for Alachua Sink, the Department established TMDLs for waters within the Orange Creek Basin in Rule 62-304.500 F.A.C.

  • Blue-Green Algal Bloom Weekly Update Reporting March 26 - April 1, 2021
    BLUE-GREEN ALGAL BLOOM WEEKLY UPDATE REPORTING MARCH 26 - APRIL 1, 2021 SUMMARY There were 12 reported site visits in the past seven days (3/26 – 4/1), with 12 samples collected. Algal bloom conditions were observed by the samplers at seven of the sites. The satellite imagery for Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries from 3/30 showed low bloom potential on visible portions of Lake Okeechobee or either estuary. The best available satellite imagery for the St. Johns River from 3/26 showed no bloom potential on Lake George or visible portions of the St. Johns River; however, satellite imagery from 3/26 was heavily obscured by cloud cover. Please keep in mind that bloom potential is subject to change due to rapidly changing environmental conditions or satellite inconsistencies (i.e., wind, rain, temperature or stage). On 3/29, South Florida Water Management District staff collected a sample from the C43 Canal – S77 (Upstream). The sample was dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa and had a trace level [0.42 parts per billion (ppb)] of microcystins detected. On 3/29, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) staff collected a sample from Lake Okeechobee – S308 (Lakeside) and at the C44 Canal – S80. The Lake Okeechobee – S308 (Lakeside) sample was dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa and had a trace level (0.79 ppb) of microcystins detected. The C44 Canal – S80 sample had no dominant algal taxon and had a trace level (0.34 ppb) of microcystins detected. On 3/29, Highlands County staff collected a sample from Huckleberry Lake – Canal Entrance.

Ross Hinkle © 2016 Tiffani Manteuffel ii ABSTRACT Crayfish are an economically and ecologically important invertebrate, however, research on crayfish in native habitats is patchy at best, including in Florida, even though the Southeastern U.S. is one of the most speciose areas globally. This study investigated patterns of abundance and habitat distribution of two crayfishes (Procambarus paeninsulanus and P. fallax) in two Florida spring-fed rivers (Wakulla River and Silver River, respectively).

    SILVER SPRINGS: THE FLORIDA INTERIOR IN THE AMERICAN IMAGINATION By THOMAS R. BERSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Thomas R. Berson 2 To Mom and Dad Now you can finally tell everyone that your son is a doctor. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my entire committee for their thoughtful comments, critiques, and overall consideration. The chair, Dr. Jack E. Davis, has earned my unending gratitude both for his patience and for putting me—and keeping me—on track toward a final product of which I can be proud. Many members of the faculty of the Department of History were very supportive throughout my time at the University of Florida. Also, this would have been a far less rewarding experience were it not for many of my colleagues and classmates in the graduate program. I also am indebted to the outstanding administrative staff of the Department of History for their tireless efforts in keeping me enrolled and on track. I thank all involved for the opportunity and for the ongoing support. The Ray and Mitchum families, the Cheatoms, Jim Buckner, David Cook, and Tim Hollis all graciously gave of their time and hospitality to help me with this work, as did the DeBary family at the Marion County Museum of History and Scott Mitchell at the Silver River Museum and Environmental Center. David Breslauer has my gratitude for providing a copy of his book.
