Purpose of the meeting
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the draft Implementation Plan (IP) for Greenvale, Beach and Paynes creeks is hosted by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. It will focus on the content of the Draft IP, including the corrective actions necessary to reduce bacteria levels and improve water quality in these three creeks. The implementation plan has been under development for the past six months, including a series of local meetings and input from local citizens and government agencies. There will be a 30 day comment period following the release of this document to the public. Comments will be due November 9, 2009. The three tidal creeks that feed into the Rappahannock River are on the state’s list of dirty or impaired waters and shellfish harvesting has been restricted due to excessive bacteria levels. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has developed a total maximum daily load, or a TMDL, for these creeks.
