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. North Fork Maquoketa River (NFMR) has been identified as impaired by sediment, nutrients, and episodic slugs of ammonia. The purpose of these TMDLs for North Fork Maquoketa River is to calculate the maximum allowable sediment, total phosphorus, and ammonia loads for the stream so that water quality standards are maintained.
