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
PSNS chose to pursue this pilot project because the Navy believes that application of innovative watershed scale ecological risk assessment tools will better inform TMDL development and result in a more environmentally protective strategy for managing pollutant sources in Xxxxxxxx Inlet and Dyes Inlet.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL): A tool for establishing the maximum allowable loadings of a particular pollutant into a surface water body to meet predetermined water quality criteria.
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 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 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 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.
