Every two years, DEQ is required by the federal Clean Water Act to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Idaho's water bodies to determine whether they meet state water quality standards and support beneficial uses or if additional pollution controls are needed. This analysis is summarized in an "Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report" (Integrated Report), which is submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. The report serves as a guide for developing and implementing water quality improvement plans (total maximum daily loads, or TMDLs) to protect water quality and achieve federal and state water quality standards.
An Integrated Report must be approved by the EPA before it can be used by a state to guide its management decisions. Idaho's most recent approved version is its 2008 Integrated Report. As soon as a new report has been approved by EPA, the previous report is no longer used to make management decisions. However, these reports are kept and are available below. |

Purpose of the Integrated Report |
The
Integrated Report serves three functions. First, it is a reporting
requirement of the Clean Water Act, so DEQ must prepare an Integrated
Report to be in compliance with federal law. Second, it provides
the public the opportunity to learn about and comment on the status
of all of Idaho's waters.
Third, the Integrated Report compiles environmental
data and information from all components of DEQ's surface water quality
program, as well as from other agencies, organizations, and individuals,
which gives water quality managers a comprehensive look at the relative
quality of all of Idaho's water bodies and helps them to set priorities
and allocate resources accordingly. |

| Integrated Report vs. §303(d) List and
§305(b) Report |
Prior
to 2002, the Integrated Report did not exist in its current form.
Instead, two documents were prepared and submitted to the EPA. The
first of these was a list (called a "§303(d) list")
of all impaired waters in the state, as required under Section 303(d)
of the Clean Water Act. The second was a report (called a "§305(b)
report") that summarized the status of all of Idaho's waters,
as required under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act. The Integrated
Report is a combination of these two documents.
