Description: This dataset contains point data that can be used to identify the distribution of impaired waters with a TMDL within the State of Florida for pollutants of interest. Under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), states, territories, and authorized tribes, collectively referred to in the Act and here as "states," are required to develop lists of impaired waters. A state s 303(d) impaired waters list is comprised of all waters where required pollution controls are not sufficient to attain or maintain applicable water quality standards. The law requires that states establish priority rankings for waters on the lists and develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of the load reduction needed from various sources of the pollutant.
Description: This dataset contains the 303(d) Listed Impaired Waters point features in the State of Florida that are monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The 303(d) Listed Impaired Waters program system provides impaired water data and impaired water features reflecting river segments, lakes, and estuaries designated under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Each State will establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these waters. Note the CWA Section 303(d) list of impaired waters does not represent waters that are impaired but have an EPA-approved TMDL established, impaired waters for which other pollution control mechanisms are in place and expected to attain water quality standards, or waters impaired as a result of pollution and is not caused by a pollutant. Therefore, the "Impaired Waters" layers do not represent all impaired waters reported in a state's Integrated Report, but only the waters comprised of a state's approved 303(d) list. For more information regarding impaired waters refer to EPA's Integrated Reporting Guidance at: http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/tmdl/guidance.cfm. 303(d) waterbodies are coded onto NHDPlus v2.1 flowline and waterbody features to create line, area, and point events. In addition to NHDPlus reach indexed data there may also be custom event data (point, line, or polygon) that are not associated with NHDPlus and are in an EPA standard format that is compatible with EPA's Reach Address Database. These custom features are used to represent locations of 303(d) waterbodies that are not represented well in NHDPlus.

Description: This dataset contains only Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) which have been established by the EPA in the State of Florida. A TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) is a scientific determination of the maximum amount of a given pollutant that a surface water can absorb and still meet the water quality standards that protect human health and aquatic life. Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are identified as "impaired" for the particular pollutants of concern--nutrients, bacteria, mercury, etc. TMDLs must be developed, adopted and implemented for the identified pollutants to reduce the pollutants and restore the water body so that designated uses are attained. This layer was created using data from the EPA TMDL website here: http://iaspub.epa.gov/apex/waters/f?p=131:12. All features shown as having a mercury impairment were removed from the dataset.

Description: This dataset contains Adopted Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) in the State of Florida. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is a scientific determination of the maximum amount of a given pollutant that a surface water can absorb and still meet the water quality standards that protect human health and aquatic life. Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are identified as 'impaired' for the particular pollutants of concern--nutrients, bacteria, mercury, etc.--and TMDLs must be developed, adopted and implemented for those pollutants to reduce pollutants and restore the water body so that designated uses are attained. The threshold limits on pollutants in surface waters--Florida's surface water quality standards on which TMDLs are based--are set forth primarily in rules 62-302 and 62-303, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), and the associated table of water quality criteria. What is a WBID? For assessment purposes, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has divided the State of Florida into water assessment polygons with a unique waterbody identification (WBID) number for each water segment. 1) Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Nutrient TMDLs include TMDLs for the following impaired parameters Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, Nutrients, and Un-ionized Ammonia. 2) Bacteria TMDLs include TMDLs that are Fecal Coliform impaired. 3) Other TMDLs include TMDLs for pollutants other than Dissolved Oxygen, Nutrients, and Bacteria, such as Iron, Lead, and Turbidity. Planning List Through 2022: TMDLs in process of being developed. Draft: after a TMDL is presented at a Rule Development Workshop, but before it is adopted into rule. State Adopted TMDL: those TMDLs that have been adopted into State Rule (62-304, FAC), but have not been approved by EPA. State Adopted and EPA Approved TMDLs: those TMDLs that have been adopted into State Rule and have been approved by EPA, Region 4.
Description: This dataset contains Waters Not Attaining Standards (WNAS) in the State of Florida. Waters of the state of Florida are broken up into 5 groups that are assessed on a rotating basis (generally one group per year). This coverage is a compilation of the last five groups of assessments (Group 2, Cycle 3 through Group 1, Cycle 4) and includes any WBID/parameter combination that did not attain standards (assessment categories 4a, 4b, 4d, 4e, and 5). If a WBID (waterbody) does not attain standards for multiple parameters, overlapping polygons are created to represent each parameter. So that the assessment units (WBIDs) properly reflect their status at the time of assessment, the geometry for this layer is based on the run at the time the assessment for each group was made (Group 1 - Run 56; Group 2 - Run 50; Group 3 - Run 52; Group 4 Run 53; Group 5 Run 54). For more information or questions regarding the waters not attaining standards, please contact Kevin O'Donnell (kevin.odonnell@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245-8469) or for questions specific to this layer, please contact Phil Homann (philip.homann@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245-8472).
Name: Basin Management Action Plans (BMAP) Areas in Florida
Display Field: GROUP_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This dataset contains Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) areas for the State of Florida. A BMAP (Basin Management Action Plan) is a water quality restoration plan prepared pursuant to Section 403.067(7), Florida Statutes. BMAPs are designed to reduce pollutant loadings to achieve the limitations identified in an adopted Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) through a comprehensive set of management strategies --permit limits on wastewater facilities, urban and agricultural best management practices, conservation programs, etc. These broad-based plans are developed with local stakeholders--they rely on local input and local commitment--and are adopted by Secretarial Order and are enforceable.
Description: This dataset contains Verified Impaired Waters in the State of Florida. The "verified list" of impaired waters is the list of Florida's waterbodies that fail to attain any of its designated uses and/or meet the minimum criteria for surface waters established in the Surface Water Quality Standards (62-302, F.A.C.) and the Impaired Water Rule (IWR, 62-303, F.A.C.). The entire state of Florida is divided into five basin groups in which each waterbody in re-assessed on a rotating basis every five years. If a waterbody is assessed as impaired a TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) must be developed to determine the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and remain healthy. Coverage includes all the WBIDs (Waterbody IDs - RUN 54) that have been included on the verified list for any parameter. If a WBID is impaired for multiple parameters the coverage contains overlapping polygons for each parameter. For more information or questions regarding the verified list and assessments, please contact Kevin O'Donnell (kevin.odonnell@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245-8469). For more information or questions regarding TMDLs please contact Erin Rasnake (Erin.Rasnake@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245 - 8338).
Description: This dataset contains Areas Undergoing Restoration (RA) Supporting TMDL Implementation (RA Plan or Alternate Restoration Plan) in the State of Florida. These are local restoration strategies similar to BMAP strategies but were done without going through the BMAP process. A TMDL is a scientific determination of the maximum amount of a given pollutant that a surface water can absorb and still meet the water quality standards that protect human health and aquatic life. Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are identified as "impaired" for the particular pollutants of concern - nutrients, bacteria, mercury, etc. - and TMDLs must be developed, adopted and implemented to reduce those pollutants and clean up the water body. The threshold limits on pollutants in surface waters - Florida's surface water quality standards on which TMDLs are based - are set forth primarily in rule 62-302, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and the associated table of water quality criteria.
Name: WBIDs w/ Verified Nutrient or Dissolved Oxygen Impairment or Adopted TMDLs or RAPs
Display Field: WBID
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This dataset identifies if a waterbody has a verified nutrient or dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality impairment, has an FDEP adopted TMDL for nutrients or DO, or is within the watershed area of a Reasonable Assurance Plan that addresses nutrient or DO impairments. WBID numbering is referenced to WBID Run 52. As of now data are only available for South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) areas within Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 1. FDOT District 1 includes Charlotte, Collier, De Soto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, Lee, Manatee, Okeechobee, Polk, and Sarasota Counties. As more data become available this future statewide layer will be updated. Please Note: this layer has been created by FDOT for FDOT planning and consultants use. The FDEP maintains their own statewide impaired waters layer which is also available on FGDL.
Description: This is a statewide polygon layer in which each polygon has a unique Water Body Identification number (WBID - RUN 59). The assessment units are drainage basins, lakes, lake drainage areas, springs, rivers and streams, segments of rivers and streams, coastal, bay and estuarine waters in Florida. The polygons roughly delineate the drainage basins surrounding the water body assessment units. The WBIDs are used in the Basin Rotation Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program as well as other applications. WBIDs are assigned a FDEP district as part of their attribution. There are multiple instances where a WBID may be assigned to an FDEP district, but physically fall within the boundary of a different district. This is because WBIDs are grouped together into basins called Planning Units and there are instances where a Planning Unit basin will fall across FDEP district boundaries. In these cases, for consistency's sake, all the WBIDs that are in the Planning Unit will be assigned to the same FDEP district. For information on which district the WBID physically falls in, please refer to the FDEP Regulatory Districts layer.

Description: Class I and II surface water classification boundaries. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has six classes with associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection required: Class I - Potable Water Supplies Fourteen general areas throughout the state including: impoundments and associated tributaries, certain lakes, rivers, or portions of rivers, used as a drinking water supply. Class II - Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting Generally coastal waters where shellfish harvesting occurs. For a more detailed description of classes and specific waterbody designations, see 62-302.400.
Description: This data set contains locations of and information on water quality monitoring sites that are within EPA's Storage and Retrieval (STORET) System. Water quality monitoring information comes from EPA's STORET System, a repository of physical, chemical and biological monitoring data from state and federal agencies, watershed organizations, volunteer groups and many others. Surface water, Ground water, and Others are general categories for more specific STORET Station Types. Water quality monitoring is a crucial aspect to protecting water resources. State, Tribal, and Federal agencies must monitor lakes, streams, rivers, and other types of water bodies to assist them in determining water quality condition. From these monitoring activities, water quality monitoring data is generated. Without this data, water resource managers cannot know where pollution problems exist, where we need to focus our pollution control energies, or where we've made progress. The STORET Data Warehouse is EPA's repository of the water quality monitoring data collected by water resource management groups across the country. These organizations, including states, tribes, watershed groups, other federal agencies, volunteer groups and universities, submit data to the STORET Warehouse in order to make their data publically accessible. Data can then be re-used for analysis. WQX is the framework by which organizations submit data to the Warehouse.
Description: This dataset contains all monitoring locations that have been processed through the Watershed Information Network (WIN) applications in the State of Florida. WIN is the DEP repository for reporting and managing environmental quality data from non-regulatory databases or data sources from a range of data providers across the State of Florida. WIN replaces Florida STORET as an active data repository. WIN data, together with Florida STORET data, are used for a range of purposes, including but not limited to Impaired Waters Rule assessments, development of Total Maximum Daily Loads, Basin Management Action Plans, Strategic Monitoring Plans, and criteria development, including Site Specific Alternative Criteria (SSAC). Data providers to WIN and users of those data include federal, DEP and other state agencies, local agencies, academic institutions, volunteer organizations, private laboratories, and others. Monitoring locations must pass all WIN Minimum Data Quality Standards (MDQS), be individually visually verified by the organization that loaded the locations, and be associated to a NHD Reach Code, when required. Reach codes are required for all types of monitoring locations except for Oceans, Wetlands, Spring Boils, Spring Vents, and Ground Water types.
Description: This dataset is a polyline feature class representing the Watershed Monitoring Program's Flowing Waters (Rivers, Streams, and Canals) resource coverages across the State of Florida. Refer to https://floridadep.gov/dear/watershed-monitoring-section/content/status-monitoring-network for more information on the Status Monitoring Network.
Description: This dataset is a polygon feature class representing the Watershed Monitoring Program's Large Lakes (features >= 10 hectares) and Small Lakes (features > 4 hectares) in the State of Florida.
Description: This dataset contains a statewide polygon layer identifying the Waterbody Identification Units (WBIDs) on the Strategic Monitoring Plan that the department has scheduled to be monitored to determine whether waterbodies and waterbody segments are attaining the minimum criteria for surface waters established in the Surface Water Quality Standards (Chapter 62-302, F.A.C.) and the Identification of Impaired Surface Waters (Chapter 62-303, F.A.C.). The WBIDs or assessment units are drainage basins, lakes, lake drainage areas, springs, rivers and streams, segments of rivers and streams, coastal, bay and estuarine waters in Florida. Monitoring efforts have been prioritized in specific basins to allow there to be a focus on collecting data where there may be shortfalls, and to combine with critical ongoing sampling needed for assessment. Following data collection, sample results are uploaded to Watershed Information Network (WIN) or the state biological database (SBIO). Waterbodies assessed as impaired are placed on the Verified List of Impaired Waters and are prioritized for a TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) to be developed to determine the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and attain water quality standards. For more information or questions regarding waterbodies identified on the Strategic Monitoring Plan, please contact Kevin O'Donnell (kevin.odonnell@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245-8469).
