Pennsylvania's 2008 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report and impaired streams listing has been released. The 2008 Report (also known as the 303(d) List or Integrated List) contains summaries of various water quality management programs including water quality standards, point source control, and nonpoint source control. It also includes descriptions of programs designed to protect lakes, wetlands and groundwater quality.
The 2008 Integrated List shows that nearly 16,000 miles out of the 85,399 miles assessed and 38,357 acres of the 74,616 acres of lakes assessed do not meet Pennsylvania water quality standards. To see which lakes and streams are listed as impaired, and for which parameters, check out the report.
