MOST CURRENT SECTION 303(D) LISTED WATERS - POINT EVENTS
Description:
River segments, lakes, and estuaries designated under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Each State will establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these waters. Most Current 303(d) Waterbodies coded onto route.rch (Transport and Coastline Reach) feature of NHD to create Point Events. Point events are attached to a reach in NHD to represent a TMDL for many reasons: to represent an estuary, to represent a shellfish area (if state prefered to represent the TMDL in this manner) - refer to NOAA's shellfish areas for a more accurate representation (<http://state-ofcoast. noaa.gov/bulletins/html/sgw_04/sgw.html>). Point events represent point source dischargers, or, if there is no reach in NHD, they are used to represent the TMDL.
