The Ninemile Creek watershed is a forested drainage, encompassing approximately 119,000
acres located primarily in Missoula County. The Ninemile Creek Watershed (also referred to in
this document as the Ninemile TMDL Planning Area, or NTPA) is one of more than 90 TMDL
planning areas in the State of Montana in which water quality is currently or was previously
listed as impaired or threatened. In each of these TMDL planning areas, the State of Montana is
required to develop TMDLs to reduce pollutant loading and eliminate other negative impacts to
water quality in impaired and threatened water bodies.
Located primarily within Missoula County, Montana, the Ninemile TMDL Planning Area is
comprised of lands managed predominately by the United States Forest Service (USFS). The
major waterbody in the Ninemile TPA is Ninemile Creek, a tributary of the Clark Fork River.
Nine waterbodies within the planning area currently on the Montana 303(d) list and are the
subject of ongoing TMDL development efforts in support of which this report has been
assembled.
