The Basin Group 5 Update, as amended, identifies water quality limited segments (WQLS) in the Basin Group 5, pursuant to section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). We reviewed the original May 23, 2012 submittal, along with several amendments to this original submittal which FDEP submitted between May 2012 and April 2014. These amendments include the February 20, 2014, submittal of amendments adopted by Secretarial Order, which revised the originally-submitted Verified Lists to include additional WQLS and the originally-submitted Delist Lists to remove some WQLS, thereby retaining them on the section 303(d) list. The EPA has determined that Florida's 2012 Basin Group 5 Update, as amended, substantially meets the intent of section 303(d) of the CW A and the EPA's implementing regulations and is partially approving that submission. Specifically, the EPA approves Florida' s decision to include additional Basin Group 5 waters and associated pollutants on the section 303(d) list, as set out in Appendix B of the enclosed Decision Document.
