The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Process
The TMDL process serves as a roadmap for water body restoration by focusing on improving water quality in
impaired surface waters
. TMDLs identify sources of pollution within a watershed and determine pollutant load reductions required for a water body to meet
water quality standards.
The TMDL process is a vital component of implementing water quality improvement
projects under Clean Water Act Section 319(h) grants, administered by the Department of Health,
Polluted Runoff Control Program.
Additional information on TMDLs can be found on the
U.S.Environmental Protection Agency TMDL website.
