... 7 This chapter shows the state DOT how to negotiate TMDLs and engage in TMDL–WLA development with the regulator. It identifies the various strategies state DOTs can use, illustrated in several flow charts that depict the step-by-step phases of TMDL predevelopment, development and approval, and implementation.
From page 8...
... 8 Approaches for Determining and Complying with TMDL Requirements Related to Roadway Stormwater Runoff strategies for state DOT POCs (i.e., sediment, metals, nutrients, bacteria, and others) are discussed further in Chapter 4.
From page 9...
... State DOT TMDL Negotiation and Engagement 9 meetings during the TMDL development process and show its involvement from the initial stages of 303(d) list identification wherever practical.
From page 10...
... 10 Approaches for Determining and Complying with TMDL Requirements Related to Roadway Stormwater Runoff should consider when participating in the predevelopment stages of a TMDL include the following questions: • Are there are any state DOT facilities within the TMDL watershed? • Is the water body's POC one of the primary highway runoff pollutants?
From page 11...
... State DOT TMDL Negotiation and Engagement 11 may be possible to negotiate a schedule to streamline compliance with reasonable milestones -- for example, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, or 30-plus years -- and align with the department's capital improvements project delivery schedules. Alternatives for TMDLs with Challenging Compliance Requirements Several state DOTs are faced with WLA goals that are, at times, not attainable because of technical infeasibility, inappropriate TMDL allocation, and site constraints.
