| Abstract | Long Description |
Federal law requires states to identify sources of pollution in waters not meeting water quality standards, and to determine how much pollution the waters can receive and still maintain the uses we enjoy. This limit is called its "loading capacity." A set of pollutant limits for that waterbody, based on sampling data and computer modeling, is called a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), or water cleanup plan. |
