On behalf of Watershed Water Quality IST development team and the Center of Excellence for Watershed Management, we invite you to the 8th Watershed Water Quality In-Service Training: TMDL and BMAP Development and Implementation, and the Implications of Numeric Nutrient Criteria in Florida.
The in-service will be held on October 29 & 30, 2013 in Gainesville, Florida at the Straughn IFAS Extension Professional Development Center. In-class participation is encouraged to interact with speakers and panelists and to benefit from the field trip for enhanced understanding of the concepts.
This IST will introduce the development and implementation of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) rules for Florida, including basin management action plans (BMAPs).
