| Purpose of the meeting The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and partners are currently developing a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan for the Little Calfpasture River in Rockbridge County. The Little Calfpasture River was listed on the 1996 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the State’s general (benthic) standard for aquatic life. This impairment extends for 0.82 miles from the Lake Merriweather Dam to the confluence with the Maury River. A public meeting was held on August 2 at the Goshen Fire Hall to kick off the project and share background information on the river with the local community. The next step in the planning process will be to hold a series of working group meetings to discuss particular management strategies to address sediment coming from different sources in the watershed. The first of these meetings will be a Lake Management Working Group meeting to be held on September 20th. During the meeting current management strategies employed for Lake Merriweather, impacts to the Little Calfpasture River, and potential management strategies to help reduce sediment coming out of the lake and into the river will be discussed. Anyone who is interested in this topic is welcome to attend. The format of the meeting will be largely discussion based, focusing on the technical aspects of lake management strategies. | |
