TMDL Pollutant: Chlordane
| 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: | IN ORDER FOR A TMDL TO BE ESTABLISHED, A NUMERIC TARGET PROTECTIVE OF THE USES OF THE WATER MUST BE IDENTIFIED TO SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR THE TMDL. FISH TISSUE TARGET CRITERIA WILL BE USED IN THIS TMDL BECAUSE, IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, ASSESSMENT OF WATERBODY SEGMENTS FOR IMPAIRMENT DUE TO CHLORDANE, DIOXINS, AND PCBS IS BASED ON FISH TISSUE CONCENTRATION. A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE CALCULATIONS INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FISH TISSUE TARGET CRITERIA, AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF FISH TISSUE CONCENTRATIONS TO PUBLISHED NUMERICAL WATER COLUMN CRITERIA, IS INCLUDED IN THE TMDL REPORT APPENDIX A. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS TMDL, TARGET CRITERIA WILL BE EXPRESSED AS THE FISH TISSUE CONCENTRATIONS SUMMARIZED IN TABLE 3. THESE VALUES ARE BASED ON THE WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR THE RECREATION DESIGNATED USE CLASSIFICATION. THE VALUE GIVEN FOR ¿ORGANISM ONLY¿ WILL APPLY TO SEGMENT 1000 BECAUSE IT IS NOT DESIGNATED FOR DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY. THE VALUE GIVEN FOR WATER & ORGANISMS WILL APPLY TO THE REMAINING FOUR SEGMENTS. FISH TISSUE TARGET CRITERIA: ORGANISM ONLY FOR CHLORDANE IS 0.1142(MG/KG, AND WATER & ORGANISMS FOR CHLORDANE IS 0.1134 MG/KG. ORGANISM ONLY FOR DIOXINS IS 5.0X10^-6(MG/KG, AND WATER & ORGANISMS FOR DIOXINS IS 5.0X10^-6 MG/KG. ORGANISM ONLY FOR PCB IS 0.0200(MG/KG, AND WATER & ORGANISMS FOR PCB IS 0.0198 MG/KG. | |||
