THE IMPAIRMENT DUE TO LOW DO IS BEING ADDRESSED BY TARGETING THE LOAD OF BOD AT CRITICAL FLOWS OF LESS THAN 3.74CFS. THE BOD TARGET IS IDENTIFIED USING A REFERENCE STREAM APPROACH TO ANTICIPATE DO LEVELS WHILE IT MEASURES THE TOTAL CONCENTRATION OF DO THAT WILL BE DEMANDED AS ORGANIC MATTER DEGRADES IN A STREAM. LOAD CURVES WERE ESTABLISHED FOR THE DO AQUATIC LIFE CRITERION BY MULTIPLYING THE ESTIMATED FLOW VALUES FOR THE CREEK BY THE APPLICABLE WATER QUALITY CRITERION AND CONVERTING THE UNITS TO DRIVE A LOAD DURATION CURVE OF POUNDS PER DAY. THE REDUCTION OF BOD CALLED FOR IN THE TMDL IS ADEQUATE TO ACHIEVE WQS OF 5MG/L DO. REFER TO THE TMDL FOR SPECIFIC LOADING OVER THE RANGE OF FLOWS AND SPECIFIC PERMIT LOADING. |
