Speaker: Eric Wu, Ph.D., P.E., Unit Chief, Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Unit,
Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control BoardAbstract:The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires USEPA and States to identify waters that do not meet water quality standards, and to develop total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for each impaired waterbody. The development of a TMDL is a regulatory procedure to amend the Los Angeles Region Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan). The required documents include a Staff Report, Resolution, Basin Plan Amendment, and a Substitute Environmental Document (SED). A TMDL becomes effective after the USEPA approves it. Up to date, approximately 35 TMDLs were developed to address pollutants such as bacteria, metals, pesticides, nutrients, toxicity and trash in multiple watersheds.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 209
