This document is a Task Assignment Notification Form for a contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the University of Florida, specifically for Task 4 under DEP Contract No. WM943. The contract involves the University of Florida, with Curtis D. Pollman, Ph.D. listed as the Contractor Contract Manager, and Devan R. Cobb as the DEP Contract Manager.

The task is focused on developing a Florida Statewide Stressor Identification Model for streams, with a total contract value of $59,975.09. The project will run from the contract start date of 3/17/11 to July 1, 2012, and is a cost reimbursement type contract. The primary objectives include developing a model that evaluates the relationship between Stream Condition Index (SCI) and dissolved oxygen concentrations, integrating multiple data sets, conducting statistical analyses, and producing two key deliverables: a Dissolved Oxygen Protective Criterion Model Development report and a Final Report with a Stressor Identification Model. The research will involve analyzing data from multiple years (2004 and 2007), using various statistical methods, and examining specific stream sites to determine potential causes of impairment.
