The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) announced the final decision on the Tributary Sediment TMDLs and Temperature TMDL Addendum to the Pend Oreille Tributaries TMDLs. The area covered by the Tributary Sediment TMDLs (Hydrologic Unit Code 17010214) addresses 15 assessment units (AUs) listed for sediment on Idaho§s 2002 CWA §303(d) list. Five additional AUs were listed for an unknown pollutant that was deemed to be sediment and TMDLs were also developed for these AUs. The area covered by the Temperature TMDL Addendum addresses 35 AUs. DEQ completed Temperature TMDLs for all AU/pollutant combinations deemed water quality impaired. DEQ has submitted these two TMDL documents to the U.S. EPA for approval under the CWA. http://adm.idaho.gov/adminrules/bulletin/bul/08feb.pdf p. 30.
