The course also discusses the recent changes in the national TMDL regulations. Recent issues raised in TMDL litigation are discussed, as are efforts to meld TMDL development with watershed planning and resource protection projects. Portions of the course are taught by analysts from the state water quality boards and other agencies who bring practical experience in developing this evolving program and applying it in California. This course benefits water quality analysts, watershed planners, other water resource professionals, and attorneys who are interested in or involved with comprehensive water quality planning issues. No prior experience with TMDLs is required, but some familiarity with water quality programs is helpful.
Enrollment is limited.
