Resource Abstract:
- description: This is the 2014 Integrated Report. EPA approved this submission in accordance with Sections 303(d), 305(b),
and 314(l) of the Clean Water Act, on October 16, 2015. The Integrated Report (IR) combines two water quality reports required
under sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act. Section 305(b) requires states, territories and authorized
tribes to perform annual water quality assessments to determine the status of jurisdictional waters. Section 303(d) requires
states, territories and authorized tribes to identify waters assessed as not meeting water quality standards(see Code of Maryland
Regulations 26.08.02). Waters that do not meet standards may require a Total Maximum Daily Load to determine the maximum amount
of an impairing substance or pollutant that a particular water body can assimilate and still meet water quality criteria.
Historically, the 303(d) List and the 305(b) report were submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as separate
documents but more recent guidance has called for combining these two reports into a single biennial publication. More information
is available at http://www.mde.state.md.us/PROGRAMS/WATER/TMDL/INTEGRATED303DREPORTS/Pages/Programs/WaterPrograms/TMDL/Maryland%20303%20dlist/index.aspx
