Triennial Review of Water Quality Standards

States are required under the Federal Clean Water Act (40 CFR 131.20) to conduct a comprehensive review of all water quality standards at least once every three years (Triennial Review). DEP presented its proposed revisions to Florida's surface water quality standards to the Florida Environmental Regulation Commission (ERC) for approval at the September 25, 2025, ERC Adoption Public Hearing for the Triennial Review of Florida's Water Quality Standards. The ERC voted to approve all proposed revisions presented at the hearing and the Triennial Review Package was submitted to EPA for review and approval on December 18, 2025.

Revised Rule versions can be accessed at these links: 62-302, 62-303 , 62-4.242.
