Bluff Creek Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plan: Turbidity and Fish Bioassessment Impairments

Bluff Creek Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plan: Turbidity and Fish Bioassessment Impairments

2013-07

This document presents the Implementation Plan for the Bluff Creek Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). Bluff Creek is listed on the 2002 and 2004 Minnesota Section 303(d) List of Impaired Waters due to impairment of turbidity and low fish Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) scores. A TMDL for Bluff Creek has been developed. Once a TMDL is established, an Implementation Plan must be developed. The Implementation Plan is designed to ensure that the management actions identified by the TMDL will be carried out. The Implementation Plan provides information on management measures and regulatory controls; timelines for implementation of management measures and attainment of water quality standards; a monitoring plan designed to determine the effectiveness of implementation actions; and description of adaptive management procedures.
