Purpose of the meeting
Second public meeting on a study to restore water quality. DEQ has been working to identify sources of pollutants affecting the aquatic organisms and sources of bacteria contamination in the waters of the Middle Fork Holston River. The “impaired” stream segments are estimated to be approximately 44.4 miles of the Middle Fork Holston River. The stream is impaired for failing to meet the Aquatic Life Use (benthic impairment) based on violations of the general standard for aquatic organisms and failure to meet the Recreational Use because of fecal coliform bacteria violations. The bacteria impairment extends from the Dutton Br. confluence downstream to the Neff community. The benthic impairment extends from the Rt. 91 bridge downstream to the Neff community. The public notice appears in the Virginia Register of Publications on July 6, 2009. The public comment period begins on July 28, 2009 and ends on August 28, 2009.
