Approach for Using Load Duration Curves in Developing TMDLs (PDF) (79 pp, 3,258K, About PDF )
The purpose of this document is to provide a description of and instruction on the use of duration curves, with an emphasis on TMDL development, and to present examples explaining how duration curves can be used for watershed assessments and water quality management purposes. It also includes an example of an approved TMDL in South Carolina for fecal coliform that used this approach. This document also describes several approaches for developing a daily load expression for TMDLs computed for longer term averages (See Appendix B for concentration-based TMDLs and Appendix C for a Load Duration Curve).

Summary of 17 TMDLs with Stormwater Sources (PDF) (58 pp, 457K, About PDF)
This report summarizes 17 TMDLs that have been developed for storm water sources in 16 states throughout the country during the past eight years. They represent a range of pollutants, models used, and different allocation and implementation methods that might be helpful to TMDL practitioners and NPDES permitting agencies and permittees as they develop and implement new storm water source TMDLs.
