A Strategic Framework for TMDL Development
The Kentucky Division of Water is implementing the National Clean Water Act 303(d) Program Vision which calls for states, territories, and authorized tribes to prioritize impaired waters for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) development and to develop TMDL Alternative Approaches where appropriate in the context of a long-term planning framework.
The Division has created a 2022-2032 303(d) and Impaired Waters Prioritization Framework, which summarizes the accomplishments of the earlier 2013 Program Vision period (2014-2022), communicates the goals of Kentucky's 303(d) program, summarizes the top priorities for restoration and protection plan development for the 2022-2032 planning period, and outlines a strategy for achieving these goals and priorities.
