Description
The Clean Water Act (CWA; 1972) requires that each state develop a report to identify and restore any
waterbody that is deemed impaired by state regulations, known as a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
Study. 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, and apportions pollutant loads to
sources in the watershed. This TMDL study includes calculations for one stream reach with a bacteria
impairment located in the Upper Wapsipinicon River Watershed (UWRW) of southcentral Minnesota.
