| Abstract | Long Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology soon will be issuing Phase II stormwater permits for many municipalities in the state. This will require establishing wasteload allocations for stormwater discharges in Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies for waterbodies in Washington State on the federal Clean Water Act 303(d) list. TMDL wasteload allocations will be specified as permit conditions in the stormwater permit when issued. This document provides an overview of applicable methods, models, and approaches to stormwater sampling and evaluation. Included are details about sources, sampling strategies, data needs, and results from various models used to characterize stormwater. |
