| Short Description |
This TMDL is being established for the pollutant, heat (solar radiation). Excessive heat loads to surface waters within Wenatchee National Forest have resulted in water temperatures exceeding the state water quality standard. Washington State′s water temperature standard that applies to surface waters within the Wenatchee National Forest (which are classified as AA) is that the maximum temperature remain below 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit (oF) (16 degrees Celsius (oC)). Washington State′s 1998 303(d) list contains 18 individual water bodies within the Wenatchee National Forest where water temperature has been observed exceeding the temperature standard. More recent data, collected by the United States Forest Service (USFS) in 2001, indicates that there are an additional 46 locations with temperature exceedances. | |||
