TMDL Pollutant: Escherichia Coli (E. Coli)

Total Waste Load Allocation:      Total Load Allocation:
Explicit Margin Of Safety:      Implicit Margin Of Safety: Y
Units for Total Waste Load Allocation and Total Load Allocation:      TMDL Pollutant Source Type: Point/Nonpoint Source
TMDL End Point: THE TMDLS FOR IMPAIRED WATERBODIES IN THE SOUTH FORK FORKED DEER RIVER WATERSHED WERE DEVELOPED USING A LOAD DURATION CURVE METHODOLOGY TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE E. COLI 126 CFU/100 ML GEOMETRIC MEAN AND THE 487 CFU/100 ML MAXIMUM WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR TIER II WATERBODIES AND 941 CFU/100 ML MAXIMUM WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR NON-TIER II WATERBODIES. A DURATION CURVE IS A CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY GRAPH THAT REPRESENTS THE PERCENTAGE OF TIME DURING WHICH THE VALUE OF A GIVEN PARAMETER IS EQUALED OR EXCEEDED. LOAD DURATION CURVES ARE DEVELOPED FROM FLOW DURATION CURVES AND CAN ILLUSTRATE EXISTING WATER QUALITY CONDITIONS (AS REPRESENTED BY LOADS CALCULATED FROM MONITORING DATA), HOW THESE CONDITIONS COMPARE TO DESIRED TARGETS, AND THE REGION OF THE WATERBODY FLOW REGIME REPRESENTED BY THESE EXISTING LOADS. LOAD DURATION CURVES WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE LOAD REDUCTIONS REQUIRED TO MEET THE TARGET MAXIMUM CONCENTRATIONS FOR E. COLI. WHEN SUFFICIENT DATA WERE AVAILABLE, LOAD REDUCTIONS WERE ALSO DETERMINED BASED ON THE GEOMETRIC MEAN CRITERION.
