2010

USEPA approved Utah’s 2010 Integrated Report on February 10, 2012 but deferred actions on Great Salt Lake and Kanab Creek-2. The final 303(d) list of impaired waters requiring a TMDL and delisted waters are presented as Part 3. Until the 305(b) portion of the Integrated Report (Part 2) is updated to match the final listings approved by USEPA, the tables in Part 3 should be consulted to determine the specific listing status of any waters.
