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. 

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

CALL FOR DATA
To save valuable resources and accomplish submission goals, WVDEP is developing a combined 2018/2020 Integrated Report. To prepare the Integrated Report, WVDEP will evaluate data previously compiled for the 2018 assessment period (July 2012 - June 2017) in addition to any newer data collected through June 2019.  WVDEP welcomes any existing and readily available data collected from July 2012 -June 2019. Deadline for submission is Dec 16, 2019. 
For information about contributing data for the 2018/2020 combined Integrated Report, see Third Party Guidelines.
