DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Total Maximum Daily Load Studies in Waters in Accomack County
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host a public meeting on water quality studies for Gargathy Creek, Finney Creek, Northam Creek, UT to Pitts Creek, Folly Creek, Ross Branch, and Wachapreague Channel (all located in Accomack County) on Wednesday, July 18, 2012.
The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. at the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission (A-NPDC) located at 23372 Front Street, Accomac, VA 23301. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information on the final total maximum daily load (TMDL) reports and discuss the study with community members and local government.
Gargathy Creek (benthic, E.coli, DO), Finney Creek (enterococci), Northam Creek (DO), UT Pitts Creek (E.coli, pH), Folly Creek (DO, benthic), Ross Branch (benthic), and Wachapreague Channel (enterococci) were identified in Virginia's 2010 Water Quality Assessment & Integrated Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standard for recreation bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and benthic integrity and do not support the designated uses.
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 and subsequent Water Quality Assessment Reports.
As a result of the studies, DEQ has developed a total maximum daily load for each of the impaired waters. A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant a water body can contain and still meet water quality standards. To restore water quality, pollutant levels have to be reduced to the TMDL amount. The Virginia Departments of Environmental Quality, Conservation and Recreation, and Health are working to identify the sources of pollution in the watersheds of these streams.
The public comment period on materials presented at this meeting will extend from July 19, 2012, to August 17, 2012. For additional information or to submit comments, contact Jennifer Howell, Department of Environmental Quality, Tidewater Regional Office, 5636 Southern Blvd., Virginia Beach, VA 23462, telephone (757) 518-2111, or email jennifer.howell@deq.virginia.gov.
Modification of Pamunkey River Basin Total Maximum Daily Load in Hanover and New Kent Counties
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks public comment from interested persons on six proposed minor modifications of the total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) developed for impaired segments Totopotomoy Creek (F13R-02) and the Pamunkey River (F13E-02). The TMDL was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on August 2, 2006, and is available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/yorkrvr/pamunk.pdf.
Changes 1-4 are with regard to the Totopotomoy Creek (F13R-02). The Totopotomoy Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) (permit #VA0089915) is a VPDES major municipal facility with a design flow of 0.010 MGD (million gallons per day). The facility should have been given a WLA of 1.74E+10 E. coli colony forming units per year (E. coli (cfu/yr)) in the TMDL report. DEQ proposes to revise the TMDL by assigning a WLA of 1.74E+10 E. coli (cfu/yr) to accommodate this facility at a maximum design flow of 0.010 MGD and a concentration at the water quality standard (WQS) of 126 colony forming units (cfu) per 100 milliliters (ml) monthly geometric mean. DEQ proposes to allocate this WLA by taking from Future Growth (FG) and the LA. DEQ proposes to revise the Totopotomoy STP (permit #VA0089915) daily individual WLA and daily total WLA. DEQ proposes to revise the TMDL by assigning a daily individual WLA based on the maximum design flow described in modification #1. DEQ proposes to allocate this WLA by subtracting from FG and the LA.
Changes 5-6 are with regard to the Pamunkey River (F13E-02). The Hamilton-Holmes Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) (permit #VA0023914) is a VPDES minor municipal plant with a design flow of 0.020 MGD. The facility should have been given a WLA of 3.48E+10 E. coli (cfu/yr) in the TMDL report. DEQ proposes to revise the TMDL by assigning a WLA of 3.48E+10 E. coli (cfu/yr) to accommodate this facility at a maximum design flow of 0.020 MGD and an E. coli concentration at the WQS of 126 cfu/100 ml. The original future growth allocated was equal to 7.40E+12 E. coli (cfu/yr). DEQ proposes to allocate the WLA by retaining FG and instead subtracting from LA, which results in no change to the LA value in the TMDL report of 7.40E+12 E. coli (cfu/yr). DEQ proposes to revise the Hamilton-Holmes WWTP (permit #VA0023914) daily individual WLA and daily total WLA. The original daily individual WLA was zero. DEQ proposes to revise the TMDL by assigning a daily individual WLA based on the maximum design flow described in modification #5. DEQ proposes to allocate the WLA by retaining FG and instead subtracting from LA, which results in no change to the LA value in the TMDL report.
The two proposed modifications result in changes equal to less than 1.0% of their respective TMDLs and will neither cause nor contribute to the nonattainment of the Pamunkey River basin.
The public comment period for these modifications will end on August 3, 2012. Please send comments to Margaret Smigo, Department of Environmental Quality, Piedmont Regional Office, 4969-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060, email margaret.smigo@deq.virginia.gov, or FAX (804) 527-5106. Following the comment period, a modification letter and comments received will be sent to EPA for approval final approval.
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND DEPARTMENT OF CONSEVATION AND RECREATION
Total Maximum Daily Loads for Tributaries of the Tye River
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for tributaries of the Tye River, including Hat Creek, Piney River, and Rucker Run, in Nelson and Amherst Counties. The tributaries of the Tye River were listed on the 2004, 2006, and 2008 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria. The impaired portions of Hat Creek (H09R) extend 9.58 miles, from the headwaters downstream to its confluence with the Tye River. Piney River's (H10R) impairment stretches a total of 13.3 miles from a point 13.3 miles upstream to its confluence with the Tye River. The impaired segment of Rucker Run (H13R) extends from the headwaters downstream to its confluence with the Tye River, for a total of 18.26 miles. The impaired section of the Tye River begins with its confluence with Piney River downstream to its confluence with the James River.
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 first public meeting on the development of these TMDLs will be held on Monday, July 9, 2012, at 7 p.m. at Massies Mill Ruritan Hall, 5439 Patrick Henry Highway, Roseland, Virginia 22967.
The public comment period for the first public meeting will end on August 9, 2012. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Tara Sieber, Department of Environmental Quality, 4411 Early Road, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7870, FAX (540) 574-7878, or email tara.sieber@deq.virginia.gov.
This meeting is part of a larger "Eco-region" effort to develop a TMDL for the tributaries of the James River in Nelson, Amherst, and Appomattox Counties. Due to the large area covered by this project, three meetings will be held at each stage - three public meetings, three Technical Advisory Committee meetings, etc. Questions regarding the Nelson County tributaries can be directed to Tara Sieber, the DEQ TMDL Coordinator for the Valley Region (tara.sieber@deq.virginia.gov), and questions regarding the Amherst and Appomattox County tributaries can be directed to Paula Nash, the DEQ TMDL Coordinator for the Blue Ridge Region out of the Lynchburg office (paula.nash@deq.virginia.gov).
