| Purpose of the meeting Second public meeting on a study to restore water quality. DEQ is working to identify sources of bacteria contamination in the waters of Cripple Creek. The “impaired” stream segments are estimated to be approximately 14.4 miles of Cripple Creek, including the lower mainstem from the New River confluence upstream to the Dean Branch confluence. It also includes the mainstem from the Dry Run confluence downstream to the Francis Mill Cr. confluence. The last segment extends from the headwaters upstream of US Route 21, downstream to the confluence of Blue Spring Creek. The stream is impaired for failing to meet the Recreational Use because of fecal coliform bacteria violations. The public notice appears in the Virginia Register of Regulations on July 6, 2009. The public comment period begins on July 23, 2009 and ends on August 24, 2009. | |
