Nonpermitted point sources were considered to be major tributaries. The overall and main objectives were accomplished through the following specific objectives: 1) Research and compile long-term point source loadings data; 2) Determine data gaps and the reliability of loading data sets; 3) Describe existing permitted point source loading and historical (temporal trends); 4) Determine spatial loading trends; 5) Determine cumulative loadings and identify potential problem areas; and 6) Prepare a final report.point source pollutionpollutiontoxicitywater qualityriver dischargewastessediment qualityTechnical Report
