303(d) List and Integrated Assessment of Water Quality in Maryland

All files below are in .pdf format.

• Chapter 7 - The 2004 List of Impaired Surface Waters[303(d) List] and Integrated Assessment of Water Quality in Maryland, including:
• Section 7.1 - Category 2 of the 2004 303(d) Integrated List - includes surface waters that are meeting some standards and have insufficient information to determine attainment of other standards.
• Section 7.2 - Category 3 of the 2004 303(d) Integrated List - includes surface waters that have insufficient quantity (Category 3a) or quality (Category 3b) data and information to determine waterbody  attainment status.
• Section 7.3 - Category 4a of the 2004 Integrated 303(d) List - includes surface waters that are still impaired but have a TMDL that has been completed or submitted to EPA.
• Section 7.4 - Category 4b of the 2004 Integrated 303(d) List - includes surface waters impaired for one or more water quality standards but not needing a TMDL because other pollution control requirements are reasonably expected to result in the attainment of water quality standards on the near future.
• Section 7.5 - Category 5 of the 2004 Integrated 303(d) List - historically known as the 303(d) List and includes waterbodies that may require a TMDL.
• Section 7.6 - Category 6 of the 2004 Integrated 303(d) List - includes surface waters that have been de-listed or removed from the current 2004 List of Impaired Surface Waters.
