| Purpose of the meeting The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Lower Chickahominy River and its Tributaries in New Kent, Charles City, and James City Counties. These streams are listed on the 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the State’s water quality standards for bacteria for the recreation use. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and §62.1-44.19:7.C of the State Water Control Law require the DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia’s 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. The streams identified for TMDL development include: Beaverdam Creek and XAH-Beaverdam Creek, UT; Diascund Creek; Mill Creek; Barrows Creek; Chickahominy River; and, Gordon Creek. The impairment is for recreation use (bacteria). This is the first public meeting on the development of the TMDL to address the recreation impairment for these segments. The public comment period will begin on July 29 and end on August 27, 2015. An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL will be established. Persons interested in assisting should notify the DEQ contact person by the end of the comment period and provide their name, address, phone number, email address and the organization you represent (if any). Notification of the composition of the panel will be sent to all applicants. 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 the TMDL WLAs. Information on the development of the TMDLs for the impairments is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to staff person listed. Notice of this meeting appears in the July 27th Virginia Register. | |
