Report Assessment<br />

Category<br />

for WBID 6<br />

1<br />

The designation “stream” includes canals, rivers, and sloughs. The designation “lake” includes some marshes.<br />

2<br />

The state’s surface water classifications are as follows:<br />

Class I: Potable water supplies<br />

Class II: Shellfish propagation or harvesting<br />

Class III: Recreation, propagation, and maintenance <strong>of</strong> a healthy, well-balanced population <strong>of</strong> fish and wildlife<br />

Class IV: Agricultural water supplies<br />

Class V: Navigation, utility, and industrial use (there are no state waters currently in this class)<br />

3<br />

The EPA’s 305(b)/303(d) Integrated Report categories are as follows:<br />

1—Attains all designated uses;<br />

2—Attains some designated uses;<br />

3a—No data and information are available to determine if any designated use is attained;<br />

3b—Some data and information are available, but they are insufficient for determining if any designated use is attained;<br />

3c—Meets Planning List criteria and is potentially impaired for one or more designated uses;<br />

4a—Impaired for one or more designated uses and the TMDL is complete;<br />

4b—Impaired for one or more designated uses but no TMDL is required because the impairment is not caused by a<br />

pollutant;<br />

4c—Impaired for one or more designated uses, but no TMDL is required because an existing or proposed pollutant<br />

control mechanism provides reasonable assurance that the water will attain standards in the future; and<br />

5—Water quality standards are not attained and a TMDL is required.<br />

4<br />

Parameters in bold meet the Verified List evaluation criteria, Section 62-303.400, F.A.C.<br />

5<br />

Parameters in italics are in Category 4 (a, b, or c) waters that do not require TMDL development.<br />

6<br />

The assessment categories listed in this column represent the status <strong>of</strong> each WBID as a whole, based on multiple<br />

parameters. The hierarchy for assigning these categories is Category 5, then 4, then 3c, then 2, and then 3b, i.e., each WBID<br />

is assigned a category based on the highest category assigned to an individual parameter. For example, if WBID 9999 has<br />

total coliforms as Category 5, fecal coliforms as Category 3c, and coliforms-shellfish as Category 2, the single assessment<br />

call for the WBID is Category 5.<br />

F = Fresh water<br />

M = Marine<br />

DO = Dissolved oxygen<br />

TSI = Trophic <strong>St</strong>ate Index<br />
