Description | The Walla Walla River is on the 303(d) list as being water quality limited for 4,4’-DDE, 4,4’-DDD, dieldrin, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, heptachlor epoxide, and PCB-1260 in edible fish tissue. EPA requires the states to set priorities for cleaning up 303(d) listed waters and to establish a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for each. This report presents results of a field study that forms the basis for a TMDL evaluation of these chlorinated pesticides, breakdown products, and PCBs in the Walla Walla River drainage. The following TMDL elements are addressed: scope, applicable water quality standards, numerical targets, loading capacity, wasteload and load allocations, margin of safety, seasonal variation, and monitoring plan. |
