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 Meyer has been identified as impaired by nutrients and siltation. The purpose of these TMDLs for Lake Meyer is to calculate the maximum allowable nutrient and sediment loads that the lake can receive and still meet water quality standards. This document consists of TMDLs for nutrients and siltation designed to provide Lake Meyer water quality that fully supports its designated uses. Phosphorus, which is related through the Trophic State Index (TSI) to chlorophyll and Secchi depth, is targeted to address the nutrient impairment. Sediment delivery is targeted to address the siltation impairment.
