Click title for link. The state can now set its own water quality standards. From the article:
A federal judge on Tuesday sided with Florida and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency on their agreement in 2013 allowing the state to set water quality standards in waterways.

 DEP issued a statement saying that the judge's decision allows the state's rules to be implemented. "This is the necessary catalyst to move beyond litigation and end needless delays that prevented us from applying these additional protections," the department said.
