10. What are macroinvertebrates? They are animals that have no backbone
and are visible without magnification.
Stonefly
Mayfly
Water Penny Beetles
Takes a trained eye!
11. How do macroinvertebrates
help determine water quality?
If animals with low pollution tolerance are
present, you must have healthy water.
Now you will assess the quality
of streams based on the
animals that live there.
Bring in macroinvertebrates
from a stream near you for participation
points!*
*Ask permission first –
never walk into a strong water current!
Q. What happens after a
waterbody is listed on
IDEM’s 303d list??
A. TMDL is scheduled and/or
a Watershed Management Plan
is completed
Section 319 of the Clean Water Act
What is a TMDL??
Total Maximum Daily Load
Wasteload allocations + (point-sources)
Load allocations + (nonpoint-sources)
Margin of Safety = (uncertainty)
TMDL Target

Inventory
Outreach and Education
Reservoir Clean-ups
Watershed Management Plan
• Investigation – land inventory
• Water Resources – monitoring
• Analysis – identify the problems
• Goal setting – to help solve identified
problems
• Decisions – identify critical areas
Phase 2 – Implementation
• Create a Cost-share Project
based on management plan
• Advertise
• Put conservation on the ground
• Calculate benefits

They will not live in polluted water.
