Ecology's Construction Stormwater General Permit has special monitoring requirements when a construction site discharges to a water body listed for the following four parameters: pH, turbidity, fine sediment, and total phosphorous.
303-d list: waterways that the state considers impaired for certain pollutants
The following list contains all the waterways in the state that are either 303-d or TMDLs for pH, turbidity, fine sediment and total phosphorous. The map below provides links to the list of impaired waters by county. Click on the county of interest to begin. Links to maps of the individual listed segments are available for most waterways.

What do I do if my project might discharge to a listed water?
If your project may discharge stormwater to a 303(d)-listed water or TMDL water body, you will need to contact Ecology.
For a list of contacts according to your location click here.
If your site will discharge to an impaired waterway, you will be asked for additional information. To receive coverage under the construction stormwater general permit, you must demonstrate that no water quality violation will occur from a stormwater discharge from your project. If your discharge is to a water with a total maximum daily load (TMDL), the discharge must meet the TMDL requirements.
