| Purpose of the meeting This is a notice for the fourth meeting of the Government Coordination Workgroup, which is tasked with providing recommendations for the Northern Virginia Salt Management Strategy (SaMS) related to government processes and operations. 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 are developing a comprehensive strategy that aims to provide recommendations for more efficient and effective use of salts during winter weather management. The purpose of this meeting is to finalize workgroup recommendations to promote collaboration among area governments to advance SaMS implementation. Meeting discussions will focus on the recommended leadership roles of the Northern Virginia Regional Commission for future coordination of SaMS implementation, and planning for winter maintenance best management practices (BMP) training in Fall 2020. Overall, the workgroup’s recommendations are designed to promote implementation of SaMS, information sharing, and mutual support and assistance. If you have any questions regarding the Government Coordination Workgroup, this meeting, or the SaMS, please contact David Evans via phone, email, or conventional mail using the information listed at the bottom of this notice. All materials related to this project will be posted on the DEQ website at: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/SaMS/MeetingMaterials.aspx | |
