| Purpose of the meeting The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks participation and input on draft information for development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study for the Lower Chickahominy River and Tributaries in New Kent, Charles City, and James City Counties. Several waterbodies 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 (see below). 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 TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired waterbody. The presentations from the public and TAC meetings held in July, October, and at the January information session are available here: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DocumentationforSelectTMDLs.aspx. Waterbodies identified for bacteria TMDL development include the following streams with impairments for recreation use (bacteria): Beaverdam Creek (New Kent County); XAH-Beaverdam Creek, UT (New Kent County); Diascund Creek (New Kent and James City Counties); Mill Creek (James City County); Barrows Creek (Charles City County); Chickahominy River (Charles City, James City, New Kent Counties); and Gordon Creek (James City County). The purpose of the TAC meeting will be to review the final source assessment information and preliminary TMDL modeling results. Information on the development of the TMDL is available upon request or at the link noted above. Questions or information requests should be addressed to meeting contact listed below. | |
