Notice of Public Meeting on Total Maximum Daily Load for Woods Creek

Committee meeting information: A community meeting will be held Tuesday, April 18, 2017, at 6:30 p.m. at Maury River Middle School. This meeting will be open to the public, and all are welcome. In the case of inclement weather, the meeting will be postponed until Wednesday, April 19, 2017, at 6:30 p.m. For more information, please contact Tara Sieber at email tara.sieber@deq.virginia.gov or telephone at (540) 574-7870.

Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and its contractors, Virginia Tech's Biological Systems Engineering Department, and the Technical Advisory Committee comprised of local landowners and interested parties will present the results of a water quality study known as a total maximum daily load (TMDL) for Woods Creek. This meeting is an opportunity for local residents to learn more about the water quality study and find out how they can assist in the process of water quality improvement.

Public comment period: April 18, 2017, through May 19, 2017.

Stakeholders are invited to comment on the draft TMDL document found at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

Meeting description: A public meeting will be held to introduce to the local community the water quality improvement process in Virginia, known as the TMDL process, review the work of the Technical Advisory Committee, solicit the input and involvement of the local community, and review the next steps. 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.

Description of study: Woods Creek does not meet water quality standards for recreation due to an excess of bacteria. In addition, this stream does not host a healthy and diverse population of aquatic life and subsequently was listed as impaired for the "General Benthic (Aquatic life)" water quality standards. The bacteria standard preserves the "Primary Contact (recreational or swimming)" designated use for Virginia waterways. Excessive bacteria levels may pose a threat to human health. This water quality study reports on the sources of bacterial contamination and recommends reductions to meet TMDLs 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, bacterial levels need to be reduced to the TMDL amount. Virginia agencies are working to identify sources of bacteria and will determine the pollutant cause of the benthic impairments as well as identify sources of this pollutant through a weight of evidence approach. Reductions and a TMDL for the cause of the impairment will be developed.

How to comment and participate: The meetings of the TMDL process are open to the public, and all interested parties are welcome. Written comments will accepted through May 19, 2017, and should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. For more information or to submit written comments, please contact Tara Sieber, Department of Environmental Quality, Valley Regional Office, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7870, FAX (540) 574-7878, or email tara.sieber@deq.virginia.gov.

Public Meeting on Water Quality Study

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will host a public meeting on May 10, 2017, in Radford, Virginia on a water quality study for the New River and several of its tributaries in Radford City and Tazewell, Craig, Smyth, Wythe, Bland, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, Radford City, Carroll, and Floyd Counties.

The meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Radford University in Heth Hall, Room 22, 801 East Main Street, Radford, VA 24142. Parking will be available in Lots DD and EE. The purpose of the meeting is to present the draft total maximum daily load (TMDL) report, gather information, and discuss the study with community members. There will be a 30-day public comment period following the meeting for interested stakeholders to comment on the draft report. Written comments will accepted through June 9, 2017. Directions for how to submit a comment are provided in this notice. The draft TMDL report can be found at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

DEQ is working to identify sources of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) pollution in the New River watershed. This pollution decreases the quality of the water, prohibiting fish consumption. PCBs are chemicals that were used in commercial and industrial applications until the late 1970s and can remain in the environment for decades.

DEQ developed a total maximum daily load, or a TMDL, for the PCB impaired waters and will present the draft study at the meeting. 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 meetings of the TMDL process are open to the public, and all interested parties are welcome. Written comments on the draft TMDL report will be accepted through June 9, 2017, and should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. To submit written comments, please contact Mark Richards, Department of Environmental Quality, Office of Watershed Programs, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 698-4000, ext. 4392, or toll free (800) 592- 5482, and by email at mark.richards@deq.virginia.gov.

For more information, contact Mr. Richards; Mary Dail, Department of Environmental Quality, Blue Ridge Regional Office, 3019 Peters Creek Road, Roanoke, VA 24019, telephone (540) 562-6715, FAX (540) 562-6725, or email mary.dail@deq.virginia.gov; or Martha Chapman, Department of Environmental Quality, Southwest Regional Office, 355-A Deadmore Street, Abingdon, VA 24210, telephone (276) 676-4800, FAX (276) 676-4899, or email martha.chapman@deq.virginia.gov.
