TCMA Chloride TMDL - Watershed and Waterbody Characterization
Watershed and Waterbody Characterization
This section presents a brief description of the impaired lakes, wetlands and streams addressed in this TMDL. Watersheds, land use, water quality conditions, and sources of chloride are discussed.
Lakes and Wetlands
The Impaired Lake and Wetland Characterization in the TCMA table presents the impaired lakes and wetlands and general characteristics of each waterbody and watershed, including watershed area, percent impervious, lake area, mean depth, and volume. Percent impervious was derived using the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) from 2011 and is discussed further in the Land Use section
