    STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD

    Total Maximum Daily Load for Kits Creek in Lunenburg County

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the draft stressor analysis in support of the development of the total maximum daily load (TMDL) for Kits Creek in Lunenburg County. This stream is listed on the 2008 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standards for the aquatic life use due to poor health of the benthic macroinvertebrate community.

    Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the State Water Control Law require the State Water Control Board to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. The stressor analysis is the first step in the TMDL process.

    The Kits Creek stream segment is located in Lunenburg County. It is 4.8 miles in length and begins at the headwaters and continues to the confluence with the North Meherrin River.

    The first public meeting on the stressor analysis, which identifies the stressors to the benthic community in Kits Creek watershed, will be held on July 16, 2015, 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., 2nd Floor Courtroom, Lunenburg Courts Building, 160 Courthouse Square, Lunenburg VA 23952.

    In case of inclement weather, the alternate meeting date is July 21, 2015, 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., 2nd Floor Courtroom, Lunenburg Courts Building, 160 Courthouse Square, Lunenburg VA 23952.

    The public comment period will begin July 17, 2015, and end August 17, 2015.

    An advisory committee to assist in stressor analysis will be established. Persons interested in assisting should notify the DEQ contact person by the end of the comment period and provide their name, address, phone number, email address, and the organization being represented (if any). Notification of the composition of the advisory committee will be sent to all applicants.

    A component of a TMDL is the wasteload allocation (WLA); therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Administrative Process Act for any future adoption of the TMDL WLAs.

    Information on the development of the TMDLs for the impairments is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to the DEQ contact person listed below. Please note, all written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Paula Nash, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, 7705 Timberlake Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502, telephone (434) 582-6216, or email paula.nash@deq.virginia.gov.

    Total Maximum Daily Loads for Walker Creek, Town Creek, East Wilderness Creek, Nobusiness Creek, Kimberling Creek, and Little Walker Creek in Bland and Giles Counties

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for Walker Creek, Town Creek, East Wilderness Creek, Nobusiness Creek, Kimberling Creek, and Little Walker Creek in Bland and Giles Counties. 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 State Water Control Board to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) Priority List and Report.

    The impaired segments include: 33.53 miles of Walker Creek from the Route 52 crossing to the confluence with Kimberling Creek; 4.40 miles of Town Creek from the headwaters downstream to the confluence with Crab Orchard Creek; 3.35 miles of East Wilderness Creek from the confluence with Wolf Pen Branch upstream 3.2 miles; 4.88 miles of Kimberling Creek from the Hiram Thompson Branch confluence upstream to Hazel Branch; and 6.72 miles of Nobusiness Creek from the confluence with Kimberling Creek upstream 6.4 miles.

    The first public meeting on the development of the TMDL to address the bacteria impairments for these segments will be held on July 28, 2015, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Bland County Public Library located at 697 Main Street, Bland, VA 24315.

    The public comment period will begin July 28, 2015, and end August 28, 2015.

    An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL will be established. Persons interested in assisting should notify the DEQ contact person by the end of the comment period and provide their name, address, phone number, email address, and the organization being represented (if any). Notification of the composition of the panel will be send to all applicants.

    A component of a TMDL is the wasteload 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 TMDLs associated WLAs. Information on the development of the TMDLs for these impairments is available upon request. Questions, information requests, and written comments should be addressed to the contact listed below. Please note, all written comments should include name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.

    Contact Information: Martha Chapman, Department of Environmental Quality, Southwest Regional Office, 355-A Deadmore Street, Abingdon, VA 24210, telephone (276) 676-4800, or email martha.chapman@deq.virginia.gov.

    Amendment of Water Quality Management Planning Regulation

    Notice of action: The State Water Control Board (Board) is considering the amendment of the regulation on water quality management planning in accordance with the Public Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning. A regulation is a general rule governing people's rights or conduct that is upheld by a state agency.

    Purpose of notice: The Board is seeking comments through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on the proposed amendment. The purpose of the amendment to the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation (9VAC25-720) is to adopt 12 total maximum daily load (TMDL) wasteload allocations.

    Public comment period: July 13, 2015, through August 12, 2015.

    Description of proposed action: DEQ staff will propose amendments of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation for the James River Basin (9VAC25-720-60 A) and the Potomac-Shenandoah River Basin (9VAC25-720-50 A). Statutory authority for promulgating these amendments can be found in subdivision 10 of § 62.1-44.15 of the Code of Virginia.

    Staff intends to recommend (1) that the Board approve the TMDL reports as the plan for the pollutant reductions necessary for attainment of water quality goals in the impaired segments, (2) that the Board authorize inclusion of the TMDL reports in the appropriate Water Quality Management Plan, and (3) that the Board adopt 12 TMDL wasteload allocations as part of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation in accordance with §§ 2.2-4006 A 4 c and 2.2-4006 B of the Code of Virginia.

    The TMDL reports were developed in accordance with federal regulations (40 CFR 130.7) and are exempt from the provisions of Article 2 (§ 2.2-4000 et seq.) of the Virginia Administrative Process Act. The reports were subject to the TMDL public participation process contained in DEQ's Public Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning. The public comment process provides the affected stakeholders an opportunity for public appeal of the TMDL.

    As of July 1, 2014, TMDL WLAs can receive State Water Control Board approval prior to EPA approval due to amendments outlined in § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Code of Virginia. The two TMDL reports in this public notice have been reviewed by EPA for required TMDL elements, however the reports remain in draft form awaiting State Water Control Board approval.
