CWA 303(d): Proposed Withdrawal of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Copper in the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull and Proposed Establishment of a TMDL for Nickel in the Hackensack River

摘要

EPA has has reached the following conclusions regarding certain segments of the New York-New Jersey Harbor: the applicable water quality standard for copper in the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull is not likely to be exceeded (i.e., the waters are not water quality-limited for copper) and, therefore, no TMDL is necessary for copper; and the Hackensack River below the Oradell Dam is water quality-limited for nickel. Therefore, as part of this action, EPA is proposing to establish a TMDL for nickel. EPA is hereby issuing public notice on its: proposed withdrawal of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for copper in the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull; and, proposed establishment of a TMDL for nickel in the Hackensack River below the Oradell Dam.
