STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD
Total Maximum Daily Load for Hardware River Watershed
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan (IP) for the Hardware River watershed (North Fork Hardware and Hardware Rivers) in Albemarle and Fluvanna Counties. The North Fork Hardware River and the Hardware River 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 2006. The creeks have remained on the § 303(d) list for these impairments since then.
The impaired segment of the North Fork Hardware River extends 10.42 miles from the headwaters downstream to its confluence with the South Fork Hardware River. The impaired segment of Hardware River extends 23.03 miles from its confluence with the North Fork downstream 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 expeditious implementation of total maximum daily loads when appropriate. 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. DEQ completed bacteria TMDLs for the Hardware River and the North Fork in July 2007. The TMDLs were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on April 10, 2008. The TMDL report is available on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/ApprovedTMDLReports.aspx. The TMDLs were modified in 2015 to correct a series of modeling errors. The draft revised TMDL report is available on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.
Development of the Hardware River TMDL Implementation Plan began in March 2015.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will host a public meeting on the development of this TMDL implementation plan on January 12, 2016, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Walton Middle School, 4217 Red Hill Road, Charlottesville, VA. The meeting will include refreshments from the Crust and Crumb Bakery in Scottsville, sponsored by the Fluvanna County Farm Bureau. On January 13, 2016, the implementation plan will be available for public comment on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLImplementation/TMDLImplementationPlans.aspx.
In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be postponed until Tuesday, January 19, but will still be held at the same time and location. If schools are closed on January 12, then the meeting will be postponed. If inclement weather begins after schools let out for the day, please call Nesha McRae at (540) 574-7850 to determine whether the meeting will be held as scheduled.
The public comment period for the implementation plan will end on February 11, 2016. 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 emailed to nesha.mcrae@deq.virginia.gov.
Total Maximum Daily Load for West, Stephens, and Crooked Runs Watersheds
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan (IP) for the West, Stephens, and Crooked Runs watersheds in Frederick, Warren, and Clarke Counties. West and Stephens Runs 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 2010, while Crooked Run was listed in 2002. The creeks have remained on the § 303(d) list for these impairments since then.
The impaired segment of West Run extends 6.12 miles from its headwaters downstream to its confluence with Crooked Run. The impaired segment of Stephens Run extends 0.95 miles from its confluence with an unnamed tributary to its confluence with Crooked Run. The impaired segment of Crooked Run extends 8.87 miles down from the Lake Frederick dam to its confluence with the Shenandoah 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 expeditious implementation of total maximum daily loads when appropriate. 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. DEQ completed bacteria TMDLs for the Crooked, Stephens, and West Runs in September 2014. The TMDLs were submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval November of 2015. The draft TMDL report is available on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will host a public meeting to initiate the development of a TMDL Implementation Plan for Crooked, Stephens, and West Runs. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 28, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lord Fairfax Community College's Carl and Emily Thompson Conference Center, 173 Skirmisher Lane, Middletown, VA.
