Purpose of the meeting
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host the first TMDL Community Engagement meeting for the Wolf Creek TMDL project on February 26th, 2025 at 6:00PM. The meeting is open to the public and any member of the public may participate in the proceedings. Meeting participants will assist in development of a cleanup study, also known as Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), to address benthic impairments of Wolf Creek in Washington County, which have been listed on Virginia’s § 303(d) list of impaired waters for failing to meet Virginia’s water quality standards due to an impaired Benthic Macroinvertebrate community. TMDLs will be developed for sediment, which was identified as probable contributors to the poor health of the stream segment. The meeting will discuss preliminary sediment load allocation scenarios, and the process used to establish sediment loads. Information about this study can be found here: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/our-programs/water/water-quality/tmdl-development/tmdls-under-development. In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be held on March 4th, 2025 at the same time and location stated above.
