| Purpose of the meeting The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will hold a final public meeting on the development of the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the McClure River, Big Spraddle Branch, Buffalo Creek, and Roaring Fork in Dickenson 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 bacteria. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and §62.1-44.19:7.C of the State Water Control Law requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia’s 303(d) Priority List and Report. The impaired segments include: 21.76 miles of the McClure River from the headwaters downstream to the Road Branch confluence near Steinman; 2.31 miles of Big Spraddle Branch, a tributary to the McClure River west of Stratton; 3.25 miles of Buffalo Creek, a tributary to the McClure River north of Nora; 1.08 miles of Roaring Fork, a tributary to the McClure River upstream of Nora. 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 these impairments is available upon request. The public comment period will begin on November 29, 2016 and end on December 29, 2016. Please note, all written comments should include name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to DEQ contact person. Questions should be sent to the DEQ contact person. Notice of this meeting and comment period appears in the November 28, 2016 Virginia Register. | |
