The 303(d) list is developed by ADEQ every two years under provisions of Section 303d of the Federal Clean Water Act. ADEQ assesses water quality monitoring data from numerous locations around the state and utilizes a comprehensive assessment methodology to determine which waters are not meeting their designated uses as listed in the Arkansas Water Quality Standards (Regulation No. 2 of the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission).

About The Maps

To assist with the review process, ADEQ has created maps by county depicting the waters included on the Draft 2012 303(d) list. The maps were creating using a subset of the streams from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) Medium Resolution (1:100,000) Flowline. Waters included on the Draft 2012 303(d) list in Category 5 are represented by purple lines and shapes.

Waters included on the Draft 2012 303(d) list in Category 4a are represented by yellow lines and polygons. The yellow lines representing the 2012 Draft Category 4a streams have been offset in order to be able to view the instances when a stream segment is listed in both Category 5 and Category 4a.
