Welcome to the Watershed and Water Quality Modeling Technical Support Center. The mission of the Center is to provide assistance to EPA Regions, State and Local Governments, and their contractors in the implementation of the Clean Water Act. The Center which is part of EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) is committed to providing access to technically defensible tools and approaches that can be used in the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL), waste load allocations, and watershed protection plans. The Center will reach out to experts throughout EPA and States to bring technical expertise to the Center.
The Center is proud to announce the Release of Version 2.07 of the QUAL2K Modeling Framework.
Technical Support Center Highlights:
- Completed an Environmental Fluids Dynamics Code (EFDC) workshop held on June 20-24, 2005 at the Atlanta Federal Center, US EPA Region 4,GA. The workshop was attended by 56 participants from State, EPA Regions, EPA ORD, Local Government and private consultants.
- Completed 3-Day Organic Chemical Modeling Workshop at the Maryland Department of the Environment (Region 3).
- Provided technical review of temperature TMDL developed for river in New Jersey for EPA Region 2.
- Developed mercury TMDLs for EPA Region 4 for the following river basins in Georgia: Ogeechee, Canoochee and Brier Creek.
- Provided one day workshop to the California Environmental Modeling Forum in Sacramento, CA (Region 9)
- Provided a week long training session on the Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) in Baton Rouge, LA. This workshop was co-sponsored by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. The workshop was attended by twenty participants from Federal, State, local governments, consultants from the US and.
- Member of Technical Advisory Group for PCB TMDL Development on the Potomac River. Assisting in the planning and development of monitoring strategy, model selection and application, (Region 3).
- Providing technical assistance on the review and model application of three dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model for the Savannah River/Harbor Dissolved Oxygen TMDL, Georgia (Region 4).
