| Study Name | Whatcom Creek Temperature Total Maximum Daily Load |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Reviewed |
| Study Type | Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development |
| Study Purpose | Whatcom Creek exceeded Class A standards for temperature based upon monitoring data taken
by the Department of Ecology (DOE) at ambient monitoring station 01E050 between July and
September 1994 resulting in listing on Ecology’s 303(d) list in 1996 and 1998. In response to those
listings the Washington State Department of Ecology is required to conduct a Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) study in Whatcom Creek. The goal of the Whatcom Creek Temperature Total Maximum
Daily Load is to characterize the water temperature in the basin and establish load and wasteload
allocations for the heat sources to meet water quality standards for surface water temperature. |
