The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is defined as the amount of a specific pollutant that a body of water can assimilate and still meet water quality standard for its designated use. In 2009 Ohio EPA biologists conducted a series of samplings and tests at various locations along Captina Creek and its tributaries to determina TMDL for the stream. The study evaluated water quality of Captina Creek by measure of fish diversity and population (IBI and MIwb scores), macroinvertebrate diversity and population (ICI score) , habitat quality (QHEI and HHEI scores) and water chemistry testing.
