EPA Awards Grant To Develop TMDL For Potomac River Watershed

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin a nearly $700,000 Clean Water grant to implement the water pollution control measures necessary to improve water quality in the Potomac Watershed.

ICPRB will use these funds to develop Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) allocations, collaborate with tributary teams and watershed groups, improve monitoring and stream assessments, and provide public information and education.

The Potomac Watershed encompasses 14,670 square miles in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
