 EPA's Chesapeake Bay TMDL

Maryland is a partner state for the Chesapeake Bay TMDL under development by EPA Region 3.  A new website dedicated to EPA Region 3's Bay TMDL has been created.  The website will serve as an important source of information about the nation's largest collective TMDL. It is a work in progress that will continually be updated, improved and expanded.  Click here to visit this site (you will be leaving MDE's website).

 Data Solicitation for Watersheds in the Potomac River Basin

The intent of this notice is to solicit readily available data and/or information to support the establishment of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) addressing a number of water quality impairments in the Potomac River Region. Specifically, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is looking for data and information that would be helpful in addressing nutrient, sediment, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), heptachlor epoxide, and debris/floatables/trash impairments in the Potomac River and its tributaries. For more details, please click here.
