TMDL definition

TMDL means the total maximum daily load limitation of a parameter, representing the estimated assimilative capacity for a water body before other designated uses are adversely affected. Mathematically, it is the sum of wasteload allocations for point sources, load allocations for non-point and natural background sources, and a margin of safety.

TMDL means total maximum daily load.

TMDL means Total Maximum Daily Load, an analysis of pollutant loading to a body of water detailing the sum of the individual waste load allocations for point sources and load allocations for non-point sources and natural background. See 40 CFR §130.2.

Examples of TMDL in a sentence

• Water quality impairment to be addressed: South Prairie Creek has a Fecal Coliform Bacteria and Temperature water cleanup plan, or TMDL, approved by the EPA.

• If the Agreement funds a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plan and/or implementation, Recipient will provide the following supplemental information to support the load allocations specified in the TMDL in the Final Performance Report.

• Design elements will include a plan to meet the Deschutes River TMDL goals of reducing fine sediment by 46 percent (1,095 cubic feet/year) and increasing shade by 50 percent along approximately 1,000 linear feet of stream channel in the Deschutes River (River Mile 2.0).

• The Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL report calls for a 38% reduction in the human-caused phosphorus carried to the rivers and streams of the basin, and eventually entering the St. Croix River and Lake St. Croix.

More Definitions of TMDL

TMDL means the total maximum daily load limitation of a parameter, representing the estimated assimilative capacity for a water body before other designated uses are adversely affected.

TMDL means Total Maximum Daily Load, which is the sum of the individual wasteload allocations for point sources and load allocations for nonpoint sources and natural background.

TMDL or “total maximum daily load” means the calculations and plan for meeting water quality standards approved by the EPA and prepared pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1313(d) and federal regulations adopted under that law.

TMDL or “Total Maximum Daily Load” means the sum of the individual wasteload allocations (WLAs) for point sources and load allocations (LAs) for nonpoint sources and natural background. If a receiving water has only one point source discharger, the TMDL is the sum of that point source WLA plus the LAs for any nonpoint sources of pollution and natural background sources, tributaries, or adjacent segments. TMDLs can be expressed in terms of either mass per time, toxicity, or other appropriate measure.

TMDL means the amount of pollutants specified as a function of one or more water quality parameters that can be dis- charged into a water quality limited surface water segment and still ensure attainment of the applicable water quality standard.

TMDL means the Rock River Total Maximum Daily Load study approved September 28, 2011 by United States Environmental Protection Agency.

TMDL means the Total Maximum Daily Load analysis to achieve water quality standards for dissolved oxygen in Long Island Sound as established by the Department and as approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency on April 3, 2001.
