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. Indian Lake has been identified as impaired by organic enrichment and noxious aquatic plants. The purpose of the TMDL for Indian Lake is to calculate the maximum allowable nutrient loading for the lake associated with organic enrichment and noxious aquatic plant levels that will meet narrative standards and provide water quality that fully supports the lake’s designated uses. Phosphorus, which is related through the Trophic State Index (TSI) to chlorophyll and Secchi depth, is targeted to address the organic enrichment and noxious aquatic plant impairments.
