The Department of Ecology (Ecology) reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): Approved TMDL This lake has an existing Water Quality Improvement Plan or Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) addressing total phosphorus. At minimum, phosphorus control and treatment consistent with Ecology's Stormwater Manual for Western Washington (February, 2005) should be implemented. In addition, Department of Ecology's TMDL website at www.ecy.wa. ov/programs/wq/tmdI should be consulted for any phosphorus loading limits which may exist as a result of the TMDL. Compliance with load and wasteload allocations and implementation of Best Management Practices for the proposed project are needed in order to avoid further degradation of lake water quality.
