This statute requires that either a Water Management District (WMD) or the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) establish minimum flows for surface watercourses and minimum levels for groundwaters and surface waters. The statutory description of a minimum flow is “the limit at which further withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology of the area” (Ch. 373.042 (1)(a), F.S.). The statute provides additional guidance to the WMDs and DEP on how to establish MFLs, including how they may be calculated, using the “best information available,” to reflect “seasonal variations,” when appropriate. Protection of non-consumptive uses also are to be considered as part of the process, but the decision on whether to provide for protection of non-consumptive uses is to be made by the Governing Board of the WMD or the DEP (Ch.

Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. blue – not a standard black – standard TCHAPTER 62-302: WATER QUALITY STANDARDS Effective April 30, 2018 In instances where the EPA has determined that certain provisions are not considered new or revised water quality standards, the Agency has attempted to indicate those in blue text. However, the font color indicated within this document, should not be interpreted as the official position of the Agency, and primarily addresses recent reviews by the EPA. For more detailed explanations on the EPA’s analysis and rationale related to decisions of new or revised water quality standards, see the Agency’s historical decision documents and associated records or contact the appropriate Agency staff. Additionally, arrow boxes found in the margins of this document direct the reader to other new or revised water quality standards which are related to provisions found in Chapter 62-302 but are found in documents outside of the regulations and are generally incorporated by reference. (See Attachments A-E of this document).

    State of Florida STATE EXPENDITURE PLAN – Amendment 3 (January 2021) Submitted Pursuant to the Spill Impact Component of the RESTORE Act 33 U.S.C. § 1321(t)(3) 1 Executive Summary This third amendment to the State Expenditure Plan (SEP) for the State of Florida, prepared by the Gulf Consortium (Consortium), addresses the following: Replaces Taylor County’s original Coastal Public Access Program with 3 new projects Adds a new project in Pasco County for Channel Restoration and habitat improvement Clarifies a change in the property planned for acquisition in Hillsborough County Revises the scope of Santa Rosa County’s project Santa Rosa Sound Water Quality Improvement Program to accommodate the cost of capacity increases required of the Navarre Beach Wastewater Treatment Facility (NBWWTF). An updated project milestone table is included with this amendment (Table 1); this replaces the sequencing summary table found on pages 483-484 in the original SEP. An updated project summary table, showing all Spill Impact Component project total costs can be found in Table 2; this replaces the project summary table found on pages 455-456 in the original SEP. State Certification of RESTORE Act Compliance In accordance with Section 5.2.2 of the SEP Guidelines provided by the Council, the Gulf Consortium hereby certifies the following: • All projects, programs, and activities included in the Florida SEP amendment are eligible activities as defined by the RESTORE Act. • All projects, programs, and activities included in the Florida SEP amendment contribute to the overall economic and/or ecological recovery of the Gulf Coast. • The FL SEP amendment takes into consideration the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
