DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION

Total Maximum Daily Load for Cripple Creek

The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will host a public meeting to discuss the development of a water quality improvement plan for reducing fecal bacteria contamination in Cripple Creek within Smyth and Wythe Counties, Virginia. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an overview of the process for developing the plan and solicit feedback from local stakeholders regarding the residential and agricultural land uses and practices that are needed in order to improve water quality.

The public meeting will be held at the Speedwell Elementary School located at 6820 Cedar Springs Road in Speedwell, VA, on April 30, 2013, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Fecal bacteria levels in Cripple Creek do not meet the state bacteria water quality standard designed to protect the recreational use (e.g., swimming, wading, kayaking, etc.) of this stream. Due to this water quality impairment, a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for fecal bacteria has been developed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. A TMDL describes the amount of pollution that a water body can take in and still meet water quality standards. The bacteria TMDL study for Cripple Creek was completed in September 2009. The Bacteria TMDL Development for Cripple Creek study report can be found on DEQ's website at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/newrvr/crippleec.pdf.

Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of a plan for water bodies that have approved TMDLs, that when implemented, will result in the achievement of TMDLs and attainment of water quality standards. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation has been authorized to develop water quality improvement plans to implement TMDLs (called a TMDL Implementation Plan or an IP). An IP must provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. An IP must also contain the corrective actions needed to attain the water quality standard(s) and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts.

Questions or information requests should be addressed to Patrick Lizon, TMDL/Watershed Field Coordinator, Department of Conservation and Recreation, 355 Deadmore Street, Abingdon, VA 24210, telephone (276) 676-5529, or email patrick.lizon@dcr.virginia.gov.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Total Maximum Daily Load for Bull Creek, Levisa Fork, North and South Fork Pound River, and Powell River

Announcement of an effort to restore water quality in Bull Creek, Buchanan County; Levisa Fork, Buchanan County; North and South Fork Pound River, Wise County; and Powell River, Lee and Wise Counties, Virginia.

Public meeting location: Department of Environmental Quality, Southwest Regional Office, 355 Deadmore Street, Abingdon, VA, on April 25, 2013, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Purpose of notice: To seek public comment and announce a public meeting on phased revisions for water quality improvement studies by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) for the four coalfield streams.

Meeting description: Final public meeting on the phased revisions to the TMDLs.

Description of study: DEQ and DMME have been working to identify sources pollutants affecting the aquatic organisms in the waters of Bull Creek, Levisa Fork, North and South Pound River, and Powell River. During the development of the studies the pollutants impairing the aquatic community were identified and total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) were developed for 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, contamination levels must be reduced to the TMDL amount.

How a decision is made: The phased revision of a TMDL includes public meetings and a public comment period once the study report is drafted. After public comments have been considered and addressed, DEQ will submit the revised TMDL report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, or postal mail. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ during the comment period, April 25, 2013, to May 25, 2013. DEQ also accepts written and oral comments at the public meeting announced in this notice.

To review the draft monitoring plan: The draft monitoring plan, the phased TMDL reports, and the presentation from the public meeting are available from the contact below or on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs.aspx.
