| Short Description |
This TMDL establishes a management plan to reduce nutrients in the Spokane River and Lake Spokane to prevent low dissolved oxygen, excessive algae blooms and degradation of downstream water quality. The dissolved oxygen levels in this system are affected by nutrients; therefore, this TMDL establishes limits for ammonia (NH3), total phosphorus (TP) and carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD). The Managed Implementation Plan focuses on strategies to reduce phosphorus because the strategies will likely result in reductions of these and other important pollutants. | |||
