Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are identified as 'impaired' for the particular pollutants of concern \u2014 nutrients, bacteria, mercury, etc. \u2014 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 \u2014 Florida's surface water quality standards on which TMDLs are based \u2014are set forth primarily in rules 62-302 and 62-303, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), and the associated table of water quality criteria. Adopted TMDL rules are included in Chapter 62-304, FAC. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><P STYLE=\"margin:0 0 6 0;\"><SPAN><SPAN>The data layer depicts the hydrologic basins where the State of Florida has proposed future development of TMDLs through 2022. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>These basins are based on the Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) watersheds that are delineated by USGS using a nationwide system based on surface hydrologic features.
