Point source dischargers Wasteload Allocation, Workshops. Watershed modelers develop wasteload allocations for the waterbodies in a particular basin during this year. The objective is to determine the portion of a stream's assimilative capacity for a specific pollutant that can be allocated to existing or proposed point source discharges. Public workshops are also held for the basin during this year. The wasteload allocations developed in the previous year are utilized in the permit development.
Remediation is actually an ongoing process.
It occurs throughout the entire five year basin cycle. Types of remediation activities include outreach and education activities , development and implementation of TMDLs, and coordination with other stakeholders on NPS pollution problems. Such a coordinated approach will more effectively identify , solve and prevent water quality problems.
