Options for Expressing Daily Loads in TMDLs
نویسنده
چکیده
Today we are making available the technical document “Options for the Expression of Daily Loads in TMDLs.” This document was drafted to provide technically sound options for developing daily load expressions as a routine process in TMDLs calculated using allocation time frames greater than daily (e.g., annual, monthly, seasonal). The document is written for TMDL practitioners who are familiar with the relevant technical approach and regulatory requirements pertaining to TMDLs.

Wastewater Management Fact Sheet
Discharge permits for treated wastewater from publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) often include effluent limitations for nutrients. Total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for nutrients are being developed for many waterbodies throughout the United States. TMDLs and other water quality-drivers have resulted in POTWs having to comply with more stringent effluent limitations for parameters such as t...
متن کاملA procedure for setting environmentally safe total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for selenium.
This article presents a seven-step procedure for developing environmentally safe total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for selenium. The need for this information stems from recent actions taken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that may require TMDLs for selenium and other contaminants that are impairing water bodies. However, there is no technical guidance from EPA or elsewhere th...
متن کاملFour Total Maximum Daily Loads for Legacy Pollutants in the Arroyo Colorado Above Tidal and the Donna Reservoir and Canal System
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires all states to identify waters that do not meet, or are not expected to meet, applicable water quality standards. For each listed water body that does not meet a standard, states must develop a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for each pollutant that has been identified as contributing to the impairment of water quality in that water body. The Texas ...
متن کاملMODEL BASED NITRATE TMDLs FOR TWO AGRICULTURAL WATERSHEDS OF SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA'
In this study, a set of nitrogen reduction strategies were modeled to evaluate the feasibility of improving water quality to meet total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) in two agricultural watersheds. For this purpose, a spatial-process model was calibrated and used to predict monthly nitrate losses (1994-96) from Sand and Bevens Creek watersheds located in south-central Minnesota. Statistical compa...

In 003 the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) created a Water Quality Trading Policy consistent with the Clean Water Act of 97 . Building on the successes of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program to address point-source discharges and the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program, which established watershed pollution loads, water-quality trading was c...
