| Abstract | Long Description |
The following plan details how and when pollution reductions will be achieved to meet water quality standards in the Nooksack River watershed. Violations of standards for fecal coliform, ammonia, and dissolved oxygen were documented in 1997 and 1998 through extensive sampling of the Nooksack River and key tributaries. In June 2000, the Washington Department of Ecology established fecal coliform pollution limits for the Nooksack watershed through adoption of its "total maximum daily load" (TMDL) analysis. As required under an agreement between Washington State Department of Ecology and United States Environmental Agency, the following plan details how implementation will occur to achieve pollution reductions specified in the Nooksack River TMDL. This document provides a framework for implementing wasteload allocations and load allocations established in the Nooksack TMDL. The responsibilities of each of the parties, and the means of tracking results, are also established. |
