| Abstract | Long Description |
Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act requires Washington State 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 a Total Maximum Daily Load study to identify and quantify sources of the impairments and to recommend implementation strategies for reducing point (discrete) and nonpoint (diffuse) source loads. The Palouse River is listed on the 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies for high instream temperatures. This Quality Assurance Project Plan describes the technical study that will (1) evaluate temperatures in the Palouse River during 2007, and (2) build on previous data collection efforts conducted by a variety of governmental and private organizations. The study will be conducted by the Washington State Department of Ecology, Environmental Assessment Program. |
