Purpose of the meeting
This is a notice for a Community Listening Session, which is being held to share information on the Salt Management Strategy (SaMS) being developed for Northern Virginia, hear suggestions for SaMS outreach strategies, and receive feedback on the existing SaMS outreach strategies. A chloride TMDL has been developed for the Accotink Creek watershed located in Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax. Additionally, water quality patterns throughout the Northern Virginia region show that the chloride pollution issues observed in the Accotink Creek watershed are not isolated to that watershed, but instead widespread throughout the region. Therefore, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in partnership with a broad coalition of stakeholders that make up the SaMS Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) have been developing SaMS, which aims to provide recommendations for more efficient and effective use of salts during winter weather. SaMS includes recommendations for public education and outreach strategies.
