  Title: Montana DEQ TMDL Planning Areas, before 2008
Abstract:
  These are Montana's TMDL Planning Areas (TPAs). They are mostly based on boundaries of 4th code (sub-basin level) 1:100,000-scale Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) boundaries. In most cases multiple HUCs were combined to create a TPA. These planning areas were used before they were revised in 2008, and their beginning and original publication dates are not known.
Purpose:
  TMDL Planning Areas are used to group TMDL work into manageable projects.
