Abstract
One segment in the Iowa River was included in the 2004 Iowa 303(d) List as impaired by excessive indicator bacteria. As such, a total maximum daily load (TMDL) must be developed in accordance with the Clean Water Act (CWA). In 2004, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) opted to convert from fecal coliform to Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria as the indicator for primary contact recreation assessment. This document presents one TMDL for indicator bacteria that is designed to allow Iowa River segment IA 02-IOW-0030-Segment 2 to fully support the primary contact recreational designated use.
