Background
Nolan Creek was identified as impaired because of elevated bacteria concentrations in 1996. In 2010, TCEQ determined that water quality standards for this water body should be reviewed before a development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) was scheduled. Concerns about elevated levels of nitrate and phosphorus were also noted in 2010.
