The Florida Springs Council 2024 Update on Springs BMAPs (Basin Management Action Plans)

DEP "plans to fail" - unless springs advocates keep the pressure on.

From our friends at the Florida Springs Council - Springs BMAPs were mandated by the legislature in response to declining springs health. DEP is required to update Springs BMAPs - plans to restore polluted springs - by July 2025. These water quality plans are the only regulatory tool we have to clean polluted springs, so it's essential for springs advocates to be involved and keep the pressure on DEP.

On June 20, FSC hosted a live discussion to unpack the updates DEP has provided for the new Springs BMAPs due in 2025.  

We cover the history of the Springs BMAPs, the biggest polluters for each basin, the difference in pollution levels since the previous BMAPs were adopted, and how the Springs BMAPs have performed.
