Purpose of the meeting
The first public meeting on the development of a TMDL to address benthic impairments for segments of Accotink Creek and Long Branch in Fairfax County. These streams are listed on the 2012 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the State’s water quality standards for the aquatic life use due to poor health of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities. (See General Notice in the August 25, 2014 publication of the Virginia Register of Regulations for more information.) Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and §62.1-44.19:7.C of the State Water Control Law require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia’s 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. The public comment period will begin on September 10, 2014 and end on Friday, October 10, 2014. An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL is scheduled to convene on Tuesday, August 26, 2014. A component of a TMDL is the Waste Load Allocations (WLAs); therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to §2.2-4006.A.14 of the Administrative Process Act for any future adoption of the TMDL's associated WLAs. Information on the development of the TMDLs for the impairments is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to the DEQ contact person listed below. Please note, all written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to the contact listed below.
