Rule 62-304.715. Lake Worth Lagoon Basin TMDLs

(1) E-1 Canal. The bacteriological TMDL for E-1 Canal is 400 counts/100mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:

(a) The WLA for wastewater sources is not applicable;

(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentration meets the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2003 to 2008 period, will require a 94% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria; and

(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin such that in-stream concentration meets the fecal coliform criteria which, based on the measured concentrations from the 2003 to 2008 period, will require a 94% reduction of sources contributing to exceedances of the criteria.

(2) Pine Lake. The nutrient TMDL for Pine Lake is a 3-year average load of 9,749 kg/yr of TN, and 611 kg/yr of TP, which are intended to achieve the applicable AGM chlorophyll a criterion for high color lakes, and is allocated as follows:

(a) The WLA for wastewater sources is not applicable;

(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is a 45 % reduction of TN (calculated from 17,592 kg/yr) and a 44 % reduction of TP (calculated from 1,084 kg/yr), based on the highest 3-year average load from the 2006 – 2014 period; and

(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is a 45 % reduction of TN (calculated from 17,592 kg/yr) and a 44 % reduction of TP (calculated 1,084 kg/yr), based on the highest 3-year average load from the 2006 – 2014 period.
