What are the Components of a TMDL Submittal?
Problem Statement: A description of the waterbody/watershed setting, beneficial use impairments of concern, and pollutants or stressors causing the impairment Numeric Target(s): For each stressor addressed in the TMDL, appropriate measurable indicators and associated numeric target(s) based on numeric or narrative water quality standards which express the target or desired condition for designated beneficial uses of water. Source Analysis: An assessment of relative contributions of pollutant or stressor sources or causes to the use impairment and extent of needed discharge reductions/controls. Loading Capacity Estimate: An estimate of the assimilative capacity of the waterbody for the pollutant(s) of concern. Allocations: Allocation of allowable loads or load reductions among different sources of concern, providing an adequate margin of safety. These allocations are usually expressed as wasteload allocations to point sources and load allocations to nonpoint sources. Allocations can be
