Resumo

The establishment of a Total Maximum Daily Load sets the pollutant reduction goal necessary to improve impaired waters. It determines the load, or quantity of any given pollutant that can be allowed in a particular water body. A TDML must consider all potential sources of pollutants whether point or nonpoint. It also takes into account a margin of safety, which reflects scientific uncertainty, as well as the effects of seasonal variation.
