Abstract
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and EPA's Water Quality Planning and Management Regulations (40 CFR Part 130) require states to develop total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for water bodies that are included on the §303(d) list of impaired waters. A TMDL is the maximum amount of pollutant a waterbody can assimilate while meeting water quality standards for the pollutant of concern. All TMDLs include a waste load allocation (WLA) for any National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)-permitted discharges, a load allocation (LA) for all nonpoint sources, and an explicit and/or implicit margin of safety (MOS). This report describes the development of a total lead TMDL for a lead-impaired water quality monitoring (WQM) site on Gills Creek: C-078. The watershed draining to C-078 is located in a developed area of Richland County and include parts of the City of Columbia and Fort Jackson Military Reservation.
