TMDL Pollutant: Fluoride
| Total Waste Load Allocation: | 0 | Total Load Allocation: | 18.4 | |
| Explicit Margin Of Safety: | Implicit Margin Of Safety: | Y | ||
| Units for Total Waste Load Allocation and Total Load Allocation: | LBS/DAY | TMDL Pollutant Source Type: | Point/Nonpoint Source | |
| TMDL End Point: | THE CURRENT WQS FOR IRRIGATION USE IS SET AT 1MG/L FLUORIDE, FOR AGRICULTURAL WATER SUPPLY. THE MAJORITY OF THE FLUORIDE LOAD APPEARS TO BE BACKGROUND IN NATURE. THE LA, BASED ONT HE EXISTING FLUORIDE STATDARD, ACROSS ALL FLOW CONDITIONS IS 18.4 LBS OF FLUORIDE A DAY, AT HE MEDIAN FLOW OF 3.4 CFS. THE LA COULD INCREASE IF THE ELVATED BACKGROUND CONCENTRATION (1.3MG/L) BECOMES THE APPLICABLE CRITERIA (23.9 LBS PER DAY). WLAS FOR HERNDON AND ATWOOD WASTEWATER TREAMENT PLANTS (WWTP) WILL BE BASD ON THEIR CURRENT PERMIT LIMITS FOR BOD (30MG/L) AND FACILITY DESIGN FLOWS. THE WLA FOR HERNDON IS 0.2 POUNDS PER DAY AND FOR ATWOOD IS 1.9 POUNDS PER DAY, OF FLUORIDE. WLAS FOR HERNDON AND ATWOOD WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS (WWTP) WILL BE BASED ON THEIR CURRENTPERMIT LIMITS FOR BOD (30MG/L) AND FACILITY DESIGN FLOWS. THERE WILL BE A WLA OF ZERO FOR FINLEY CONSTUCTION AND ANY STATE OR NPDES PERMITTED CONFINED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS (CAFOS) WITH THE DRAINAGE BECAUSE SUCH FACILITIES SHOULD NOT DISCHARGE TO BEAVER CREEK, EXCEPT UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS AND SUCH CONDITIONS ARE NOT CONDUCIVE TO INCIDENTS OF HIGH FLUORIDE LEVELS IN BEAVER CREEK. REFER TO THE TMDL ITSELF FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION. REFER TO TMDL 30539 FOR BEAVER CREEK KS-UR-14-W010_2 FOR THE TMDL DOCUMENT ITSELF. | |||
