| Description | This Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), developed jointly by Washington State, the Spokane Tribe of Indians, and EPA, addresses total dissolved gas (TDG) in the Columbia River and Lake Roosevelt from the Canadian border to the Snake River. Elevated TDG levels, which can cause “gas bubble trauma” in fish, are caused by spills from Mid-Columbia dams and by upstream sources. Separate allocations apply to fish passage and non-fish passage conditions. Allocations must be met below the spillway of each dam (near the end of the aerated zone). The implementation plan describes compliance with both Endangered Species Act and TMDL requirements. | ||||
