Description | Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act requires Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of each pollutant that causes a water body to not meet water quality standards. A TMDL is the amount of pollution that a waterbody can assimilate before beneficial uses are affected. The Skokomish River Fecal Coliform TMDL is established to address water quality impairments due to high fecal coliform bacteria (FC) levels in the lower Skokomish River basin and help protect marine water quality standards and shellfish harvesting in Hood Canal. |
