TMDLs in Development

Before a TMDL can be presented for public notice, much work goes into the development of the TMDL. This process involves detailed monitoring and modeling of pollutants, education and outreach, stakeholder participation, and more. The following waters are currently the subject of detailed monitoring and analysis required for the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). Many of these waters are located in the Fox River and Rock River Basins, which are two of the state's large basinwide TMDLs. Read more about these large-scale efforts to identify targeted pollutant reductions for water condition restoration.
