Previous Causes of Impairments Now Attaining All Uses
Description of this table
| Cause of Impairment | Cycles Listed | WQS Attainment Date | WQS Attainment Reason | WQS Attainment Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sedimentation/Siltation | 2004, 2006 | Sep-29-2008 | Applicable WQS attained; original basis for listing was incorrect. | A TMDL for nutrients (phosphorus) and dissolved oxygen was completed and approved by EPA on February 22, 2007. The TMDL report also includes de-listing justification for the sediment/siltation impairment suggesting the narrative criteria for sediment is currently being met. |
