The TMDL Study will be submitted to EPA which will have 30 days to review and approve the TMDL. Then a TMDL Implementation Plan (IP) will be developed. TMDL IPs include a schedule of actions, costs, and monitoring. Plan development should start as soon as possible after EPA approval of the TMDL Study. Virginia state law requires the development of an IP. Local or state agencies as well as community watershed groups can take the lead in developing TMDL IPs.
