Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report - Incl. Impaired Streams

The West Virginia Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (IR) fulfills the reporting requirements under the federal Clean Water Act, Section 303(d) to provide a list of impaired waters and Section 305(b) to provide an overall assessment of West Virginia's waters to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The term "waters" refers to lakes, wetlands, and streams. With more than 9,900 streams totaling more than 32,000 miles, streams make up the largest number of waters in the state of West Virginia.

During the development of the IR, the Section 303(d) list of impaired waters is available for public review and comment. Ultimately, Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) will be developed for waters listed in the Section 303(d) list.
