Yes |
| |
Name of water body: |
Lower St. Johns River and it's tributaries |
| |
| Describe, specifically, how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings: |
| 54 local tributaries are on the State�s list of Verified Impaired WBIDs for fecal coliform bacteria. TMDL�s are being written and BMAPs developed to bring the tributaries into attainment. In order for this to occur the sources of fecal; coliform pollution must first be determined. Once individual sources are identified restoration strategies can be implemented. |
| Is the project under construction? |
No |
