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. Williamson Pond has been identified as impaired by turbidity. The purpose of this TMDL for Williamson Pond is to calculate the maximum allowable suspended sediment loading for the lake associated with turbidity levels that will meet water quality standards. In addition, a phosphorous target has been developed to minimize algal blooms as water transparency increases.
