Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports are assessments of water quality in rivers, lakes, and streams in a given watershed where impairments exist. The report contains an overview of the waterbodies, the sources of pollutants, the methods used to analyze data, reductions in levels of pollutants needed to restore water quality, actions that need to be taken to reduce pollutant levels, and actions that are being taken to improve water quality.
A TMDL Report will fall in one of three categories:
