Title: ●Water Quality Standards (Numeric Nutrient Criteria) for Florida's Lakes and Flowing Waters
Abstract: EPA is under a Consent Decree deadline to establish numeric nutrient criteria for the State of Florida's lakes and flowing waters. EPA made a determination on January 14, 2009, that numeric nutrient water quality standards are necessary for the state to meet the Clean Water Act (CWA) requirement to have standards to protect applicable designated uses. EPA committed in its determination to propose numeric nutrient criteria for inland waters by January 2010 and now this deadline is also in a consent decree. A separate rulemaking will follow for estuaries and coastal waters by January 2011.
