5.3.1.2 Big Muddy River Segment N 99
There are 16 point sources with the potential to contribute discharge to Big Muddy
River Segment N 99 directly or through tributaries. Most of the facilities summarized
in the table below are significantly upstream of this segment of the Big Muddy River.
Segment N 99 is listed as impaired for sulfates and DO. Table 5-20 contains a
summary of available DMR data for these point sources. No sulfates data were
available because sampling for that parameter is not required by the discharge permits.
