Title:  

TMDL Development for Lake Michigan Beaches

 
 Volume/Number:  2012 February 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Over the last 30 years, waters in Illinois have been monitored for chemical, biological and physical conditions. In some cases, the conditions of those rivers and lakes fall short of the need to support basic water quality use goals. These waters are deemed impaired since they cannot meet use expectations set for them under state and federal law. When this happens Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports are developed for impaired waters to determine the maximum amount of a pollutant a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards and support its designated uses. Designated uses include aquatic life, public water supply, swimming, recreation, fish consumption, and aesthetic quality. The Illinois EPA makes the decision to list a beach as not meeting its Primary Contact use of swimming and recreation based on the Illinois Department of Public Health beach closings.
