Description
The Clean Water Act (1972) requires that each state develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study to identify and restore any water body that is deemed impaired by state regulations. A TMDL identifies the pollutant that is causing the impairment and how much of that pollutant can enter the water body and still meet water quality standards.
This TMDL study addresses phosphorus (P) impairments in Bear Lake and State Line Lake and bacteria impairments in the form of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Lime Creek located in the Winnebago River Watershed (WRW), Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 07080203, which are on Minnesota’s 2018 303(d) list of impaired waters. The waterways of the WRW are headwaters to the Cedar River, in eastern Iowa.
