Wasteload Allocations for Volatile Organics and Toxicity: Phase 1 TMDLs for Toxic211 Pollutants in the Delaware River Estuary

摘要

The Delaware River Basin Commission adopted amendments to Articles 3 and 4 of its211u001eWater Quality Regulations regarding the control of toxic pollutants from point 211u001esources discharges to the Delaware River between Trenton, NJ and Delaware 211u001eBay(Zones 2-5). Section 4.30.7.B.2. of these regulations allows the Commission to 211u001eestablish wasteload allocation where necessary to meet the stream quality 211u001eobjectives for toxic pollutants. This report culminates Phase 1 of a phased Total 211u001eMaximum Daily Load(TMDL)approach to controlling toxic pollutants in this section 211u001eof the river. Phase 2 of this approah will focus on loadings from both point and 211u001enon-point source. This report presents wasteload allocations for five parameters:
