Abstract: The USEPA’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program under the Clean Water Act requires taking into account the critical conditions for stream flow, loading, and water quality parameters to develop TMDLs. However, properly ...

Abstract: There are significant uncertainties associated with certain aspects of the total maximum daily load (TMDL) estimation. Selection of the “margin of safety (MOS)” term is typically made by subjectively assigning to it a small ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...

Abstract: An analysis of the impact of total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocations on the potential leaching of nitrates to groundwater in the Muddy Creek/Dry River watershed of Virginia is presented. The Muddy Creek/Dry River ...

Abstract: Computer models and simpler methods must be used to reliably determine total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters of the US. Models are also useful to develop implementation plans that allocate load reductions ...
