Abstract

Over 20,000 individual river segments, lakes, and estuaries in the U.S. do not meet designated uses. The Clean Water Act requires States to develop total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) that describe the impairment(s) for each water body and set a course of action for remediation. However, success stories for the process of TMDL planning, development, implementation, and evaluation are rare and appear to require new strategies for integrating collaborative partnerships and technical guidance. This study proposes to demonstrate a model collaboration leading to effective TMDL implementation.
