Section 305(b) (</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>State Water Quality Assessment Report</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>) requires a comprehensive biennial report, and Section 303(d) requires a list of a state's water quality-limited waters needing total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) by April 1 of every even-numbered year. EPA suggests that states combine these two reports into one integrated report.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>What is a TMDL?</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN> Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is the amount of a particular pollutant that a particular stream, lake, estuary or other water body can "handle" without violating state water quality standards. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;"><SPAN>What's the big deal? </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>Once a TMDL is established, responsibility for reducing pollution among both point sources (ex. pipes) and diffuse sources is assigned. Diffuse sources include, but are not limited to, run-off (urban, agricultural, forestry, etc.), leaking underground storage tanks, unconfined aquifers, septic systems, stream channel alteration and damage to a riparian area.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
