San Joaquin River Selenium TMDL

A TMDL for selenium in the San Joaquin River was completed by the Regional Board and approved by US EPA in March 2002. The TMDL is implemented through: 1) prohibitions of discharge of agricultural subsurface drainage water adopted in a Basin Plan Amendment for the Control of Subsurface Drainage Discharges (State Water Board Resolution 96-078), with an effective date of 10 January 1997; and 2) load allocations in waste discharge requirements.
