Grants and Contracts Details
Description
This project consists of the development/and or completion of pathogen and/or nutrient TMDL
reports (including associated TMDL loadings, reductions, and associated implementation plans)
for two priority streams in the Kentucky River Basin. The related watersheds and associated
TMDLs to be developed include (see Figures 1-2):
1) South Elkhorn Creek Watershed (including Town Branch and Wolf Run) [pathogen]
2) Eagle Creek Watershed [pathogen]
3) Town Branch Watershed [nutrient]
4) Wolf RunWatershed [nutrient]
The developed reports may serve as the basis of watershed management plans for each of the
basins and support future or ongoing management activities. The project will utilize historic
monitoring data and/or future data to be collected by the Kentucky Division of Water.
The project will be coordinated by the Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute at the
University of Kentucky (KWRRI) and will involve staff from the KWRRI as well as faculty and
students from the department of civil engineering. The project will also be coordinated with
TMDL personnel associated with the Kentucky Division of Water. Finally, the project will be
coordinated with stakeholder groups in each basin to ensure input into the TMDL development
process and to ensure that the reports receive the widest distribution possible so as to directly
impact ongoing managementactivities in each basin. To help facilitate this process the KWRRI
will sponsor a specific track in the annual KWRRI symposium that will highlight the TMDL
development process as well as the work of the various stakeholder groups within the basin.
