Abstract
The Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to develop a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for waters that have been identified on the state’s CWA Section 303(d) list as impaired by a pollutant. Iowa’s 1998 303(d) list, the current approved list, identifies Lake Keomah as threatened by siltation. The purpose of this sediment TMDL for Lake Keomah is to calculate the maximum amount of sediment that the lake can receive and still meet water quality standards, and then develop an allocation of that amount of sediment to the sources in the watershed.
