Water Quality Assessment (303(d) and 305(b))
The 2006 303(d) List of impaired water bodies requiring development of a TMDL represents a subset of Louisiana's 2004 Integrated Report (IR) and includes only those water body impairment combinations (WICs) reported as Category 5. As has been noted in the body of the IR text, WICs in Category 5 of the IR assessments are the only WICs on Louisiana's 2006 303(d) List. This table was developed only as an aid to the public, at the request of Gulf Restoration Network, and does not constitute Louisiana's 303(d) List. Every effort was made to maintain consistency between the Category 5 WICS in the full Integrated Report and this separate 303(d) List. However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the overall Integrated Report only those WICs in Appendix A, Category 5, of the full Integrated Report constitute the official 303(d) List.
