Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL): A TMDL is the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can accept and still meet the water quality objectives designed to protect its uses.
The Santa Monica Bay currently has a TMDL for bacteria. The bacterial TMDL is a way to improve water quality within Santa Monica Bay and at the beaches.
The South Bay Beaches Protection Partnership will be conducting an online survey of stormwater knowledge in the near future.
