| Abstract | Long Description |
Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act requires the state of Washington to prepare a list of all surface waters in the state for which beneficial uses of the water are impaired by pollutants. Waterbodies placed on the 303(d) list require the preparation of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) to identify and quantify sources of the impairments and to recommend implementation strategies for reducing point and nonpoint source loads. The Deschutes River, Capitol Lake, Budd Inlet, and some of their tributaries are on the 303(d) list for at least one of the following parameters: temperature, fecal coliform bacteria, dissolved oxygen, or pH. This Quality Assurance Project Plan describes the technical study that will evaluate pollutants in those impaired waterbodies, building from previous data collection efforts conducted by a variety of governmental, tribal, and private organizations. The study will be conducted by the Washington State Department of Ecology Environmental Assessment Program in cooperation with the Squaxin Island Tribe, Thurston County, and the city of Olympia. |
