The TMDL Program works to improve water quality in impaired or
threatened water bodies in Texas. The program is authorized by and
created to fulfill the requirements of Section 303(d) of the
federal Clean Water Act.
The goal of a TMDL is to restore the full use of a water body
that has limited quality in relation to one or more of its uses.
The TMDL defines an environmental target and, based on that target,
the state develops an implementation plan to mitigate anthropogenic
(human-caused) sources of pollution within the watershed and
restore full use of the water body.
