TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Loading) define how much of a pollutant a water body can tolerate on a daily basis & still meet the relevant water quality standards. All of the sources of the pollutant in the watershed combined, including non-point sources, are limited to discharging no more than that total limit. EPA is suing states to force them to produce TMDLs. A growing number of California's water bodies are either subject to consent decrees to develop TMDLs, or are the subject of notices of intent to file lawsuits that may have that outcome. This report addresses California's many problems in establishing TMDLs for its impaired water bodies.

This report discusses the total maximum daily load (TMDL) program which regulates pollutants to ensure that water quality standards can be attained; section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to identify waters that are impaired by pollution, even after application of pollution controls. The report focuses on new challenges facing the TMDL program, including more complex TMDLs, larger scale impairments, and nonpoint sources.

A recent regulatory program that will provide unique challenges and opportunities for the Corps of Engineers over the next 15 years or more is the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA 1999b), establishing a TMDL is part of a process whereby impaired or threatened water bodies and the pollutant(s) causing the impairment are systematically identified and a scientifically based strategy a TMDL-is established to correct the impairment or eliminate the threat and restore the water body. While the TMDL Program itself as administered by the EPA is relatively recent, the requirement for the program lies in the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972. The CWA contained a provision Section 303(d) requiring all states to develop and implement TMDLs for their impaired water bodies (those failing to meet water quality standards) and water bodies threatened to become impaired. This requirement has not been aggressively enforced until recently, largely because of the difficulties involved in that enforcement. While in the past regulatory control has focused on individual water bodies and point sources, under the TMDL process all sources (point and non-point) must be considered (USEPA 1991, 1999a, 1999b, 1999f), which poses unique scientific and regulatory challenges. The TMDL process is essentially driving the watershed approach to water quality management (YSI 1999).
