428th Regular Meeting of Oregon Environmental Quality Commission Item G: Upper Yaquina River Watershed TMDLs (Action) DEQ will propose adoption of the proposed Upper Yaquina River Watershed Total Maximum Daily Load for bacteria and dissolved oxygen, by rule. This is DEQ's first proposal for adoption of TMDLs by rule since EQC adopted amendments in February 2022 consistent with statute, allowing both issuance of TMDLs by DEQ order and adoption of TMDLs by EQC as rules.
