(1) Nine Mile Canal. The bacteriological TMDL for Nine Mile Canal is 400 counts/100 mL for fecal coliform, and is allocated as follows:
(a) The WLA for wastewater point sources is not applicable;
(b) The WLA for discharges subject to the Department’s NPDES MS4 Permitting Program is to address anthropogenic sources in the basin to result in a 36% reduction of in-stream fecal coliform concentrations, based on the measured concentrations from the 1997 to June 30, 2004 period; and
(c) The LA for nonpoint sources is a 36% reduction of in-stream fecal coliform concentrations, based on the measured concentrations from the 1997 to June 30, 2004 period.
