Additionally, Spanish Creek flows into Matalacha Pass, which is designated "impaired" by Florida Department of Environmental Protection per the 1999 Florida Watershed Restoration Act and the Impaired Waterbody Rule (Rule 62-303, F.A.C.). Implementation of this project will provide improved water quality to Matalacha Pass. |
