Statewide Stormwater Treatment Rule Development
 |
To address growing concerns about over-enrichment of
Florida’s surface waters, ground waters, and springs by
nutrients, the Department and the Water Management Districts are
developing a statewide stormwater treatment rule. This rule
represents a significant step forward in the control of nutrient
loadings from stormwater discharges.
A Technical Advisory Committee
was established to assist the Department and Water
Management District staffs in developing the first versions of
the draft rule and Applicant's Handbook. The TAC
met 10 times between March 2008 and September 2009 and
provided invaluable assistance in evolving the first
drafts. We will be using
this web site and a mailing list to distribute information about
the development of the stormwater rule and keep the public
informed.
