 Case #9:TMDL Case Study: Appoquinimink River, Delaware
The tidal freshwater segment of the Appoquinimink is bounded by the head of tide at Noxontown Pond and Silver Lake (river mile 10.2) at the upstream end and by Drawyer Creek's confluence with the Appoquinimink River (river mile 5.0) at the downstream end.
DNREC chose the Appoquinimink River as the site of its first TMDL because it was identified as being water quality limited and requiring a TMDL; a wastewater management decision was pending at the MOT WWTP; a single point source made the TMDL relatively simple; and information on nonpoint source loadings was available.
This value was extrapolated to the entire watershed tributary to the tidal freshwater segment of the Appoquinimink by multiplying by the ratio of watershed area (14,900 acres/2,170 acres) to yield an annual nonpoint source phosphorus load limit of 12,085 lb/yr.
