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. One segment on the Maquoketa River was included in the 1998 and subsequent 2004 Iowa 303(d) List as impaired by excessive indicator bacteria (fecal coliform) (segment IA 01-MAQ-0060_1). The purpose of this TMDL is to calculate the maximum allowable pathogen load for the impaired segment of the Maquoketa River that will meet water quality standards.
