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. The Little Floyd River has been identified as impaired by low dissolved oxygen and sedimentation. The purpose of the TMDL for the Little Floyd River is to calculate the maximum allowable oxygen demand (OD) and sediment loadings to the river while still allowing the river to meet water quality standards.
