Bluff Creek Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load Report 2019 Modification

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is making adjustments to stormwater wasteload allocations (WLAs) to shift a portion of Minnesota Department of Transportation's (MnDOT's) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) WLA (Permit #MS400170) to Carver County's MS4 WLA (Permit # MS400070) and Chanhassen City's MS4 WLA (Permit #MS400079) (Table 1). All three MS4s have existing WLAs in the approved TMDL for Bluff Creek (AUID: 07020012-710). The MnDOT has transferred ownership of portions of the right-of-way (ROW) to Carver County and the city of Chanhassen (Figure 1). The adjustments will not change the approved overall total loading capacities of the TMDL.
