Description of this table
| Cause of Impairment | Cycles Listed | WQS Attainment Date | WQS Attainment Reason | WQS Attainment Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phosphorus, Total | 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 | Sep-29-2011 | Applicable WQS attained; reason for recovery unspecified. | The Weiser River TMDL, page xxx, says: To meet the target/allocation established for the lower Weiser River, a total phosphorus reduction from the Crane Creek needs to occur. Water quality data for Crane Creek showed that the May through September total phosphorus load would need to be reduced by 64-73% to reach the total phosphorus target for the lower Weiser River. I.e. Crane Creek itself is not impaired by phosphorus, but an allocation has been given to it to aid a downstream waterbody. 1/8/10 HS |
