This page summarizes the development and implementation of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plans in the Monterey Bay region of California. The page is being created by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.
Contents
Background
Under the federal Clean Water Act, all impaired (e.g. polluted) waters in the USA must be placed on a list called the 303d list. A remediation plan must then be developed and implemented for each listing on each impaired water body. These plans are called TMDLs, referring to the goal of defining and achieving a total maximum daily load of each pollutant within each body.
Monterey Bay area listings
The 303d for the Central Coast Region of California is maintained by <agency> and can be viewed <here>.
The closest listings to Monterey Bay include:
- <For each item on this list, we need: water body, pollutant, priority or category of listing, status (in development, approved, by whom, etc), and link to 2009 fact sheet for the listing>
