Abstract
Fecal coliform is the most frequently listed
stream impairment on the Georgia 303(d) list, the
listing of streams and associated water quality impairments
required under the US Clean Water Act. In
many instances, the stream is categorized as impaired
based on a minimal water quality data set. Under
these circumstances it is difficult to implement a
TMDL that will serve to improve the water quality.
There is a need for additional water quality data along
with watershed studies to focus on the specific
pollution sources. This is the only way to have a
meaningful impact on water quality through costeffective
application of limited financial resources.
