DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Total Maximum Daily Load Studies in the Tidewater Regional Area
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will host a public meeting on water quality studies for several water bodies that are impaired due to not meeting dissolved oxygen water quality standards.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28, 2009, and will start at 6:30 p.m. at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Tidewater Regional Office located at 5636 Southern Blvd., Virginia Beach. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information and discuss the studies with interested local community members and local government.
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.
During the study, DEQ will develop a total maximum daily load 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, pollutant levels have to be reduced to the TMDL amount.
The waters listed below were identified in Virginia's 1998 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired for not supporting the aquatic life use. The impairments are based on water quality monitoring data reports of sufficient exceedances of Virginia's water quality standard for dissolved oxygen.
| Albemarle Canal | (VAT-K41R_AAC01A06) |
| North Landing River-middle | (VAT-K41R_NLR02A06) |
| West Neck Creek-middle | (VAT-K41R_WNC01A00) |
| Milldam Creek-lower | (VAT-K41R_MLD02A06) |
| Nawney Creek-upper | (VAT-K42E_NWN01A00) |
| Nawney Creek-lower | (VAT-K42E_NWN02A00) |
Several impaired segments were identified as needing an assessment to determine if natural conditions are the cause of the low dissolved oxygen (DO) values. If it is determined that anthropogenic causes contribute to the impairments, a TMDL will be developed for each waterbody listed below:
| Tarrara Creek | (VAT-K13R_TRR01A00) |
| Mill Swamp | (VAT-K34R_MSW01A00) |
| Rattlesnake Swamp | (VAT-K34R_RKN01A02) |
| Seacock Swamp-upper | (VAT-K35R_SCK01A00) |
| Blackwater River-middle K36 | (VAT-K36R_BLW02A08) |
| Blackwater River-middle K36 | (VAT-K36R_BLW03A08) |
| Blackwater River-lower middle K36 | (VAT-K36R_BLW04A08) |
| Blackwater River-lower K36 | (VAT-K36R_BLW05A08) |
| Blackwater River mouth K36 | (VAT-K36R_BLW06A08) |
| Blackwater River-upper K33 | (VAT-K33R_BLW01A00) |
| Blackwater River-lower K33 | (VAT-K33R_BLW02A04) |
| Blackwater River-lower K33 | (VAT-K33R_BLW03A08) |
The public comment period on materials presented at this meeting will extend from July 28, 2009, to August 26, 2009. For additional information or to submit comments, contact Jennifer Howell, in the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Tidewater Regional Office, 5636 Southern Blvd, Virginia Beach, VA 23462, telephone (757) 518-2111, or email jshowell@deq.virginia.gov.

Purpose of notice: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality announces a public meeting to discuss a study to restore water quality in the Roanoke (Staunton) River watershed and tributaries.
Description of study: Virginia agencies are working with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify sources of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) found in fish tissue in the Upper Roanoke River watershed and Lower Roanoke (Staunton) River watershed. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) issued fish consumption advisories based on elevated PCB levels in fish tissue. Therefore, the river is not supporting the Fish Consumption Designated Use.
The following is a list of the "impaired" waters in the Upper Roanoke River watershed and the length of the impaired segment: Roanoke River, 28.6 miles; Tinker Creek, 5.33 miles; Peters Creek, 2.52 miles. These impairments are located in Montgomery County, Roanoke County, Salem City, Roanoke City, and/or Bedford County. These impairments will be discussed at the meeting in Roanoke on Wednesday, July 29, 2009.
The following is a list of the impaired waters in the Lower Roanoke/Staunton River watershed and the length of the impaired segment: Roanoke (Staunton) River, 88.4 miles; Little Otter River, 14.36 miles; Cub Creek, 14.25 miles. These impairments are located in Bedford County, Campbell County, Charlotte County, Halifax County, and/or Pittsylvania County. These impairments will be discussed at the meeting in Brookneal on Thursday, July 30, 2009.
During the study, EPA and the state agencies developed a total maximum daily load (TMDL) 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 have to be reduced to the TMDL amount.
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 Thursday, August 27, 2009. DEQ also accepts written and oral comments at the public meeting announced in this notice.

VIRGINIA CODE COMMISSION
Notice to State Agencies
Mailing Address: Virginia Code Commission, 910 Capitol Street, General Assembly Building, 2nd Floor, Richmond, VA 23219.
Filing Material for Publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations
Agencies are required to use the Regulation Information System (RIS) when filing regulations for publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations. The Office of the Virginia Register of Regulations implemented a web-based application called RIS for filing regulations and related items for publication in the Virginia Register. The Registrar's office has worked closely with the Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) to coordinate the system with the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall. RIS and Town Hall complement and enhance one another by sharing pertinent regulatory information.
The Office of the Virginia Register is working toward the eventual elimination of the requirement that agencies file print copies of regulatory packages. Until that time, agencies may file petitions for rulemaking, notices of intended regulatory actions and general notices in electronic form only; however, until further notice, agencies must continue to file print copies of proposed, final, fast-track and emergency regulatory packages.
