Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plan for the Buffalo (North and South Forks), Cedar Creek, and Colliers Creek Watersheds in Rockbridge County

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on a draft total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan for the Buffalo (North and South Forks), Cedar Creek, and Colliers Creek watersheds in Rockbridge County. These creeks were first listed as impaired on the Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria in 2002 (Cedar Creek), 2004 (Buffalo Creek, mainstem), 2006 (Colliers Creek), 2010 (South Fork Buffalo Creek) and 2012 (North Fork Buffalo Creek). The creeks have remained on the § 303(d) list for these impairments since then. In addition, Colliers Creek was listed as impaired due to water quality violations of the general aquatic life (benthic) standard in 2010.

The impaired segments of the North and South Forks of Buffalo Creek and Colliers Creek extend from their headwaters down to their confluence with the mainstem of Buffalo Creek, 7.28, 13.24, and 13.77 miles, respectively. The impaired segment of Buffalo Creek extends 15.51 miles downstream to its confluence with the Maury River. The impaired segment of Cedar Creek extends 11.49 miles from the headwaters 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. In addition, § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an implementation plan (IP) for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. Bacteria TMDLs were completed by DEQ for all of the creeks, and a benthic TMDL addressing sediment was completed for Colliers Creek. The TMDLs were submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval on January 2, 2014. The TMDL report is available on the DEQ website at www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

Development of the TMDL implementation plan began in May 2014.

The second and final public meeting on the development of this TMDL implementation plan will be held on October 28, 2014, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Natural Bridge Park and Historic Hotel, 15 Appledore Lane, Natural Bridge, Virginia. The meeting will include a community supper sponsored by the Upper James Resource Conservation and Development Council. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP to Nesha McRae by telephone or email (contact information provided below). The implementation plan will be available on the DEQ website the day after the meeting for public comment:

http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

The public comment period for the implementation plan will end on November 27, 2014. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Nesha McRae, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7850, or email nesha.mcrae@deq.virginia.gov.
