| Purpose of the meeting This is the final meeting on the development of the Bear Garden Creek and North Creek TMDL. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Bear Garden Creek and North Creek. Bear Garden Creek was listed on the 2002 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the State's water quality standards for Total Fecal Coliform Bacteria. Bear Garden Creek is located in Buckingham County, Virginia. The impaired segment of the Bear Garden Creek is 9.2 miles in length, to include the entire headwaters and extends downstream to the mouth of the James River. North Creek was listed on the 2002 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of Virginia’s water quality standards for benthics. North Creek is located in Fluvanna County, Virginia. The impaired segment of North Creek is ~6.5 miles, to include the entire headwaters and extends to the mouth of South Creek. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and §62.1-44.19:7.C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia’s 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. The public comment period for this phase of the TMDL development will begin on October 4, 2011, and will end on November 2, 2011. A fact sheet on the development of the Bear Garden Creek and North Creek TMDL are available upon request. Notice of this meeting appears in the Virginia Register | |
