1. Can someone tell me the History of the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program from a national perspective in his or her own words? (150 words)

National concerns about impaired waters and the quality of the water in the United States informed the need for National initiations. In 1972, therefore, Congress passed the Clean Water Act (CWA), which developed standards for water quality and established programs to enact these standards. The Federal EPA, through the CWA, developed a total maximum daily load ...
