Excess nutrients are the leading cause of impairment in our surface water bodies and are a growing concern in groundwater and springs. It is critically important that stormwater treatment standards are enhanced to meet the intent of the original and current statewide stormwater rule and provide for increased levels of nutrient removal, better protection of groundwater, incorporation of green infrastructure, and more consistent and comprehensive best management practice design criteria throughout the state.

Initiated through the 2020 Clean Waterways Act (SB 712), the revised statewide stormwater rule sets a framework for stormwater management and increased nutrient removal throughout the state of Florida. The final draft rule published in March 2023 and adopted by the Department of State, now requires ratification by the 2024 Legislature. The Seminar reviewed the updated rule revisions and how they will impact MS4s from project development and effectiveness to operations and maintenance.
