| Purpose of the meeting The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will hold the first public meeting on the development of the watershed plan to address the bacteria impairments for several stream segments and seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a watershed plan for the Mattaponi River which has several stream segments listed on the 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired for the recreation use due to exceedances of the State’s water quality standards for bacteria. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and §62.1-44.19:7.C of the State Water Control Law requires the DEQ to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia’s 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report, and Virginia state law requires implementation plans for areas with TMDLs. A component of a TMDL is the Waste Load Allocation (WLA); therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to §2.2-4006.A.14 of the Administrative Process Act for any future adoption of WLAs associated with this watershed plan. In case of inclement weather, the alternate meeting date is: Monday, March 23, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. Bowling Green Town Hall - Rappahannock Reception Room, 117 Butler Street, Bowling Green, VA 22427. Please note that the alternate meeting date will be used if the offices of Caroline County are closed due to inclement weather on March 18, 2015. Caroline County's website is www.visitcaroline.com. The public comment period will begin on March 18, 2015, and will end on Friday, April 17, 2015. An advisory committee to assist in development of this watershed plan has been scheduled to convene on Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Information on the development of the watershed plan for the impairments is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to the DEQ contact person listed below. Please note that 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.
