TMDL is a term defined under the Clean Water Act which describes a planning and implementation process for capping and reducing water quality indicators in streams. A TMDL is mandated after 303(d) listing of a stream for a violation of water quality standards. Washington State Department of Ecology has limited resources to conduct a TMDL, which requires an evidence-based evaluation of the factors causing the water quality standard violation.
