| Description | The mid-Yakima River basin is located in the south-central portion of Washington State (State) surrounding and including the cities of Union Gap and Yakima. In 2008, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) determined that fourteen surface waters in this basin have fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) levels greater than the State allows in its water quality standards (WQS) for surface waters (Chapter 173-201A WAC). Excessive FCB pollution in local water bodies represents a significant health risk for human beings. This total maximum daily load (TMDL) report covers the study, results, and the implementation strategy for 34 FCB listings on the State’s 2012 Water Quality Assessment (WQA). | ||||
