THREE MILE CREEK TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD STUDY
Impact/Purpose:
The Alabama Department of Environmental Resources (ADEM), with support from EPA REgion 4, is responsible for the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for water bodies on the state's 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. Threemile Creek is one of the water bodies for which a completed TMDL is required. ADEM has created a support contract with Tetra TEch. Incorporated in order to achieve the TMDL development goals. ADEM will use the product results to achieve TMDL goals.
Description:
The pupose of this project is to establish the allowable loading of pollutants, or other quantifiable parameters for Threemile Creek. These funds will assist ADEM in the preparation of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for the reduction and elimination of pollution in Threemile Creek. Development of the TMDL will assit in the restoration of this impaired segment in the coastal area of Mobile BAy. Education and outreach activities during the TMDL development will also improve public awareness in the watershed.
