Abstract
The Federal Clean Water Act 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 303(d) list as impaired by a pollutant. Lake Darling was been identified as partially supporting its primary contact recreation and aquatic life uses due to excessive siltation and nutrients. The purpose of these TMDLs for Lake Darling is to calculate the maximum amount of siltation and nutrients that the lake can receive and still meet water quality standards, and then develop an allocation of that amount of siltation and nutrients to the sources in the watershed.
