| Purpose of the meeting The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host the first stakeholder meeting for the South Fork Holston River Watershed Cleanup Plan on Wednesday January 25, 2023. The meeting is open to the public and any member of the public may participate in the proceedings. The meeting participants will assist in development of a cleanup plan, also known as an Implementation Plan (IP), to address bacteria impairments of the South Fork Holston River watershed in Smyth and Washington Counties, which have been listed on Virginia’s § 303(d) list of impaired waters for failing to meet Virginia’s water quality standards due to exceedance of E. coli. The meeting will discuss recommendations on implementation strategies, associated costs, outreach, funding opportunities, and begin discussion of the draft report. Information about this plan development can be found here: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/water/water-quality/implementation/implementation-plans-under-development. In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be held on January 30, 2023 at the same time and location stated above. | |
