Abstract

This Water Quality Improvement Plan has two purposes. First, it is a resource to be used by watershed planners, water quality action groups, individual citizens, and local and state government staff. It serves as a guide to help these groups understand and identify the causes of the Yellow River Basin water quality problems and to guide locally driven water quality improvement efforts. The problems addressed in this report are high bacteria concentration in both warm water and cold water streams. Second, this report satisfies the Federal Clean Water Act obligation to establish a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for waterbodies on the 303(d) impaired waters list.
