DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Notice of Public Meetings for the Development of a TMDL Implementation Plan for Upper Rapidan River Watersheds: Rippin Run, Blue Run, Marsh Run, Beautiful Run, Poplar Run, Unnamed Tributaries to the Rapidan River, and the Rapidan River; Madison, Green, Orange, Albemarle Counties, VA

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host public meetings on a water quality improvement process for Rippin Run, Blue Run, Marsh Run, Beautiful Run, Poplar Run, unnamed tributaries to the Rapidan River, and the Rapidan River on January 28, 2015, and January 29, 2015.

The meetings will start at 6 p.m. The meeting on January 28, 2015, will be held at the Town of Orange Public Works Department located at 235 Warren Street, Orange, VA 22960. In case of inclement weather, the meeting will be moved to February 11, 2015, at the same location. The meeting on January 29, 2015, will be held at the Piedmont Virginia Community College, Eugene Giuseppe Center (Greene County Library Building, 2nd floor) located at 222 South Main Street, Stanardsville, VA 22973. In case of inclement weather, the meeting will be moved to February 12, 2015, at the same location.

The waters listed above were identified in Virginia's water quality assessment integrated reports as impaired for not supporting the bacteria criteria for recreational uses. The impairments are based on water quality monitoring data indicating exceedances of the bacteria standard.

At this meeting, TMDL findings and the development of the implementation plan will be discussed and citizens will learn how they can be part of the public participation process. DEQ seeks information and involvement of local citizens in developing this plan. After a one-hour public meeting, stakeholders will break into working group sessions to discuss and provide input for the implementation plan.

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 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 Rapidan River, which was approved by EPA on December 5, 2007, and by the State Water Control Board on July 31, 2008, can be found at:

http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/rapprvr/rapidanec.pdf.

The public comment period on materials presented at this meeting will extend from January 29, 2015, to February 27, 2015. For additional information or to submit comments, contact May Sligh, Department of Environmental Quality, Northern Regional Office, 13901 Crown Court, Woodbridge, VA 22193, by telephone (804) 450-3802, or email may.sligh@deq.virginia.gov.

Background: During the 1997 legislative session, the General Assembly enacted the Water Quality Monitoring, Information and Restoration Act (the Act). The Act directs DEQ to provide a procedure for citizens of the Commonwealth to nominate portions of lakes, streams, and rivers of Virginia for water quality monitoring by DEQ. Citizens can send their nominations to DEQ via the procedures described below. Nominations received by April 30, 2015, will be considered for inclusion in DEQ's annual monitoring plan for the 2016 calendar year. The monitoring plan will be finalized after considering the citizen's nominations for inclusion. DEQ will respond to each request in writing, stating the reasons for accepting or denying each nomination. DEQ's response is due by August 31 for nominations received between January 1, 2015, and April 30, 2015.

Process to Request Additional Monitoring: Any person may request that a specific body of water be included in DEQ's annual water quality monitoring plan. Each request received between January 1, 2015, and April 30, 2015, shall be reviewed when DEQ develops or updates the annual water quality monitoring plan. Such requests shall include, at a minimum (i) a geographical description of the water body recommended for monitoring, (ii) the reason the monitoring is requested, and (iii) any water quality data that the petitioner may have collected or compiled.

Note that the monitoring program covered by this process is directed at the surface waters of the state. Private ponds, privately owned lakes, and any other body of water not deemed to be "State Waters" are ineligible.

Nominations can be submitted by mail, fax, email, or hand delivered to the contact person listed below.

Timeline: Nominations received between January 1, 2015, and April 30, 2015, will be considered for inclusion in DEQ's water quality monitoring plan for the following calendar year (2016).
