| Purpose of the meeting The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the draft stressor identification analysis in support of the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for North Fork Catoctin Creek in Loudoun County. Two segments of the stream are listed on the Draft 2014 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the State’s water quality standards for the aquatic life use due to poor health of the benthic macroinvertebrate communities. This is the first public meeting and will focus on the results of the draft stressor identification analysis, which identifies the stressors to the benthic communities in the North Fork Catoctin Creek watershed. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and §62.1-44.19:7.C of the State Water Control Law require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia’s 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. In case of inclement weather, the alternate meeting date is: Monday, August 10, 2015 6:00 pm Purcellville Library – Robey Meeting Room 220 East Main Street, Purcellville, VA 20132 The public comment period will begin on August 3, 2015 and end on Wednesday, September 2, 2015. An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL was convened on May 20, 2015. A component of a TMDL is the Waste Load Allocations (WLAs); therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to §2.2-4006.A.14 of the Administrative Process Act for any future adoption of the TMDL's associated WLAs. Information on the development of the TMDLs for the impairments is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to the DEQ contact person listed below. Please note, all written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to the staff contact listed. Notice of this meeting appears in the July 27, 2015 Virginia Register. | |
