Summary:
This regulatory action amends the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation (9VAC25-720) to include three total maximum daily load (TMDL) wasteload allocations. The amendments are to the New River Basin (9VAC25-720-130 A) and the Chesapeake Bay - Small Coastal - Eastern Shore Basin (9VAC25-720-110 A). The TMDLs were developed in accordance with federal regulations (40 CFR 130.7).
