Tampa Bay Estuary Program
Act, FDEP submitted a TMDL for nitrogen for Tampa Bay to the EPA. The TMDL is based on the annual average total
nitrogen loading to major bay segments estimated by the TBEP. These loadings are seen as the maximum loadings
that can occur and still meet the seagrass restoration goals. EPA approved the submitted TMDL June 18, 1998. In
1999, the Florida Legislature passed the Florida Watershed Restoration Act which established the state's TMDL
process. This Act allows for stakeholders to show that existing or proposed pollution control programs will provide
"Reasonable Assurance" (RA) that impaired water bodies will meet their designated uses. If FDEP accepts the
documentation for RA, then the water body will not be included on the Verified List for Impaired Waters and will not
require the development of a TMDL. Subsequently, the TBEP and the Consortium developed and submitted a RA
document to the FDEP in 2002, based on the Consortium Action Plan. The document provided the FDEP with a
complete description of the Tampa Bay Nitrogen Management Strategy. The TBEP also provided FDEP with a copy of
the 1998 Resolution that committed both private and public partners to the projects identified in their action plans. The
FDEP accepted the 2002 RA document submitted by the TBEP and the Consortium as adequate to address nutrient
impairment in Tampa Bay segments, and removed Tampa Bay segments from the State's 303(d) list for 2002-2007.
