The streams are a subset and enhancement of the 1:24,000 scale National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). MPCA adds additional stream reaches. Since the impaired streams are a small subset of the NHD streams, only that subset is included in the dataset.  This dataset includes impaired streams which have not yet had a TMDL plan approved by the US EPA, those that have a US EPA approved TMDL plan as well as those streams that do not need a TMDL plan.</dc:description><dc:description>The data set was created as part of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Environmental Data Access System, which allows for public access to surface water monitoring data.</dc:description><dc:description>August 23, 2013</dc:description><dc:format>Files</dc:format><dc:identifier>env-impaired-streams-2012</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Impaired Streams 2012 [Minnesota]</dc:title><dc:type>Datasets</dc:type><dc:coverage>Minnesota</dc:coverage><dc:date>2013-08-23</dc:date><dc:contributor>Minnesota Geospatial Commons</dc:contributor></oai_dc:dc>
