Water Quality Standards Triennial Review Public Workshop

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is conducting a Triennial Review of Florida's Water Quality Standards and will hold a public workshop. Pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act, states are required to conduct a comprehensive review of their water quality standards at least once every three years. DEP has published Notices of Rule Development for each chapter in the Florida Administrative Register. DEP is proposing revisions to specific Rule sections in Chapter 62-4, 62-302 and 62-303, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.); however, all surface water quality standards in these chapters are under review and may be revised as part of the Triennial Review. Registration is now open for the workshop: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4891095453378920790. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar. The workshop agenda, proposed rule language, implementation documents, maps and other supporting documentation are available on DEP's Triennial Review webpage. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, handicap or marital status.
