Notice of Availability of the Proposed Section 303(d) List of Impaired Waters for 2020
Public Notice – 214

State of Alabama

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires that each state identify those waters within its boundaries for which controls of pollutant sources are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards applicable to such waters.  In addition, each State shall establish a priority ranking for such waters, taking into account the severity of the pollution and the uses to be made of such waters.  For each waterbody identified on the list, the state is required to establish a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for each pollutant at a level necessary to implement applicable water quality standards.
