Availability of Final Total Maximum Daily Loads [34 Pa.B. 2640] The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the following watersheds. TMDLs set the pollutant loading amounts for impaired waters that are allocated among the sources in the watershed. The TMDLs have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and satisfy the Department's obligations under section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act.
