Abstract |
Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) implementing regulations direct each state to identify and list waters, known as water quality limited segments (WQLSs), in which current required controls of a specified substance are inadequate to achieve water quality standards. For each WQLS, the State is to either establish a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of the specified substance that the waterbody can receive without violating water quality standards, or demonstrate that water quality standards are being met. Evitts Creek (basin code 02141002), located in portions of Allegany County, Maryland and Bedford County, Pennsylvania, was identified on the States list of WQLSs as impaired by low pH (1996 listing), nutrients (1996 listing) and sediments (1996 listing). A sub-basin, Lake Habeeb (Rocky Gap Lake) impoundment, was also listed in 1998 for nutrients. The information used for listing the 8-digit basin for low pH was found in the 1996 303(b) report. This report provides an analysis of recent monitoring data to address whether the low pH impairment still remains. |
