Description:

Enclosed is the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) biological opinion on the effects of the EPA' s approval of Florida estuary specific numeric nutrient criteria under section 303( c) of the Clean Water Act for total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll-a in 42 estuary segments on endangered and threatened species under NMFS's jurisdiction and critical habitat that has been designated for those species. We have prepared the biological opinion pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1536(a)(2)). Based on our assessment, we concluded that EPA's approval of these standards is not likely to jeopardize any ESA-listed species under NMFS' jurisdiction. We also conclude that EPA's approval of these standards is not likely to destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat under NMFS' jurisdiction--TRansmital letter.
