Description
The Clean Water Act (1972) requires that each state develop a plan to identify and restore any waterbody that is deemed impaired by state regulations. As a result, a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study is required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be completed for an impaired water. A TMDL identifies the pollutant that is causing the impairment and how much of that pollutant can enter the waterbody and still meet water quality standards.
