Abstract:

By now almost everyone has heard of a TMDL, but what does it really mean for your watershed?  Join us to learn the history, the processes involved in TMDL development, and where these fit into the Pennsylvania watershed planning arena.  TMDLs can be a useful tool for your watershed.  This presentation will teach you how to read and extract information from a TMDL and how to leverage a one for funding reclamation projects in locality.
