| Purpose of the meeting This is the first public meeting on the development of TMDLs for Long Meadow Run and Turley Creek in Rockingham County. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Long Meadow Run and Turley Creek in Rockingham County. These streams were listed in 2002 as impaired due to violations of the State’s general water quality standard (benthic) for aquatic life. The aquatic life impairment on Long Meadow Run extends from its headwaters to the confluence with the North Fork Shenandoah River, which is a total of 8.53 miles. The Turley Creek aquatic life impairment extends a total of 4.01 miles from its headwaters to the confluence with the North Fork 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. Directly following the meeting will be the first Technical Advisory Committee meeting to discuss several technical issues and gather additional, specific input. All are welcome to attend either or both meetings. The public comment period will end on December 19, 2011. Notice of this meeting appears in the November 7, 2011, Virginia Register. | |
