Where a parameter was only identified as impaired under the IWR, a priority of “medium” was assigned. Exceptions are waters where the impairment poses a threat to potable water or human health, which have been assigned a “high” priority, and fecal coliform impairments, which have been assigned a “low” priority. All other listings as of this cycle are prioritized based on the following: it is the Department's intent that listings with a "High" priority be addressed within the next 5 years, listings with a "Medium" priority be addressed within 5-10 years as resources allow, and listings with a "Low" priority be addressed within the next 10 years. 1

### Florida's waterbody classifications are defined as:1- Potable water supplies,2- Shellfish propagation or harvesting,3F- Recreation, propagation, and maintenance of a healthy, well-balanced population of fish and wildlife in fresh water,3M- Recreation, propagation, and maintenance of a healthy, well-balanced population of fish and wildlife in marine water,4 - Agricultural water supplies,5- Navigation, utility, and industrial use.
