WATER QUALITY AND POLLUTION CONTROL IN MICHIGAN 2008 SECTIONS 303(d), 305(b), AND 314 INTEGRATED REPORT

The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires Michigan to prepare a biennial report on the quality of its water resources as the principal means of conveying water quality protection/monitoring information to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the United States Congress.  The Integrated Report satisfies the listing requirements of Section 303(d) and the reporting requirements of Section 305(b) and 314 of the CWA.  The Section 303(d) list includes Michigan water bodies that are not attaining one or more designated use and require the establishment of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) to meet and maintain Water Quality Standards.  The draft Integrated Report was revised to reflect public comments and submitted to the USEPA for review and approval on March 31, 2008.
