| Abstract |
This document establishes Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen and phosphorus for Town Creek, which is a part of the Lower Choptank River watershed (02-13-04-03). Town Creek is a tributary of the Tred Avon River that ultimately drains to the Choptank River. The water quality impairments and TMDLs are described below. The water quality goal of the BOD TMDL is to establish BOD concentration inputs at levels that will ensure the ambient dissolved oxygen (DO) standard of 5.0 mg/l in Town Creek. The TMDL for BOD was determined using the U.S. Environmental Agencys Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program version 5.1 (WASP5.1) water quality model. Maximum loads of BOD entering Town Creek were established for both low flow and average annual flow conditions. As part of the TMDL analysis, the model was used to investigate seasonal variations and to establish margins of safety (MOSs) that are environmentally conservative. |
