Proposed Extension of Runway 15 and Associated Improvements at Richmond Executive Airport-Chesterfield County

Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Aviation (DOAV) in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seek public comments on the economic, social, and environmental effects of the proposed extension of Runway 15 and associated improvements at Richmond Executive Airport-Chesterfield County located within the County of Chesterfield, Virginia.

Public comment period: November 16, 2014, through January 7, 2015.

Type of response: Chesterfield County has submitted a License Modification Application to DOAV. DEQ is reviewing the FAA's draft environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed runway extension as part of DOAV'S license modification process. DEQ is also reviewing the federal consistency certification (FCC) submitted pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act and implementing federal consistency regulations.

Name of agency proposing the project: Chesterfield County.

Project description: The draft EA has been prepared to address the range of potential environmental impacts that could result from the implementation of the proposed extension of Runway 15 with a parallel taxiway and associated improvements. The EA describes potential impacts associated with the development actions of the 2012 Airport Layout Plan, which includes an 800-foot runway extension and associated property interest acquisition, relocation of navigational aids and fueling facilities, and removal of tree obstructions.

How a decision is made: DOAV must consider the environmental review conducted by DEQ prior to approving the airport's License Modification Application. DOAV must approve the License Modification Application, and the FAA must make a final decision on the draft EA before the project can start. DEQ coordinates the Commonwealth's response to the draft EA. DEQ has distributed the EA to appropriate state agencies, the planning district and the locality for review and comment. Upon consideration of all comments, DEQ prepares a single state response and submits it to DOAV and FAA. DEQ also coordinates the Commonwealth's review of the FCC to ensure that federal activities that can affect Virginia's coastal resources and uses are conducted in ways that are consistent with the enforceable policies of Virginia's Coastal Zone Management Program (VCP). The FAA cannot approve the proposal unless DEQ concurs that it is consistent with the VCP.

How to comment: DEQ accepts comments from the public by email, fax, or U.S. Mail (see below). All comments must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ within the comment period. The public may review the project documents at DOAV (below), DEQ's Central Office in Richmond (below), and at the following locations:

• Richmond Executive Airport-Chesterfield County, Airport Management Offices, 7427 Airfield Drive, Richmond, VA 23237

• Chesterfield Public Library, 9501 Lori Road, Chesterfield, VA 23832

• Virginia Department of Aviation, 5702 Gulfstream Road, Richmond, VA 23250

• DEQ Central Office, 629 East Main Street, Room 646, Richmond, VA 23219

A Joint Public Hearing on the draft EA and the FCC will be hosted by DEQ and DOAV in conjunction with the FAA for the purposes of compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, and state licensing requirements (Title 5.1 of the Code of Virginia). Anyone desiring to be heard in support of, or in opposition to, this proposed action may attend and have their comments considered by DEQ and DOAV.

Public Meeting and Public Comment for a TMDL Implementation Plan for The Gulf, Mattawoman, Barlow, Jacobus, and Hungars Creeks in Northampton County

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host a public meeting on a water quality study for The Gulf, Mattawoman, Barlow, Jacobus, and Hungars Creeks in Northampton County, Virginia on January 20, 2015.

The meeting will start at 5:30 p.m. at the Barrier Island Center located at 7295 Young Street, Machipongo, VA 23405. In the case of inclement weather, the meeting will be moved to January 22, 2015, at 5:30 p.m. in the Northampton Board Room located on the 2nd floor of the Administration Building, 16404 Courthouse Road, Eastville, VA. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information and discuss the study with interested local community members and local government.

The waters listed for this study were identified in Virginia's Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report as impaired for not supporting the fecal coliform criteria for shellfish waters. The impairments are based on water quality monitoring data reports of sufficient exceedances of Virginia's water quality standard for bacteria.

The meeting will review the final implementation plan for the impaired waters. The implementation plan (IP) is developed to provide a clean-up plan that will lead to attainment of the water quality standards. Public participation and stakeholder involvement are necessary in order to develop an effective and reasonable IP.

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop total maximum daily loads (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. 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 TMDL report for The Gulf, which was approved by EPA on September 20, 2007, can be found at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/shellfish/thegulf.pdf. The TMDL report for Mattawoman Creek, which was approved by EPA on May 6, 2010, can be found at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/baycoast/mattawoman.pdf. The TMDL report for Barlow and Jacobus Creeks, which was approved by EPA on March 17, 2009, can be found at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/shellfish/barlowjacob.pdf. The TMDL report for Hungars Creek, which was approved by EPA on April 30, 2008, can be found at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/shellfish/hungar.pdf. Additional information is also available on the DEQ website at www.deq.virginia.gov/tmdl.

The public comment period on materials presented at this meeting will extend from January 20, 2015, through February 20, 2015. For additional information or to submit comments, contact Dana Gonzalez at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, Tidewater Regional Office, 5636 Southern Boulevard, Virginia Beach, VA 23462, telephone (757) 518-2137, or email dana.gonzalez@deq.virginia.gov.
