National Nutrient-related listing and TMDL Results
Of 75,677 impairments nationwide, 15,101 (20%) are “nutrient-related” (defined as ‘nutrients, organic enrichment/oxygen depletion, noxious plants, algal growth, and ammonia’).
Of 40,698 TMDLs nationwide, 7,412 (18%) are “nutrient-related”
Based on the most recent 303(d) list data available in ATTAINS as of January 27, 2010 -- http://www.epa.gov/waters/tmdl/expert_query.html
