How to Use the Map

Clicking on a shaded polygon will display information about the TMDL for that watershed, including the title of the TMDL report, a hyperlink to that report and the date the TMDL was approved by EPA. Each shape is identified through a GIS ID number which corresponds to a record in the online TMDL search tool.
