Public Meeting and Request For Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Delaware River Zones 2--5 (from Morrisville, PA to the PA/DE state line)
The EPA, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public meeting to discuss proposed TMDLs for PCBs for the Delaware River along Bucks, Philadelphia and Delaware Counties (Zones 2--4). The meeting will be held on September 25, 2003, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office in Conshohocken. The informational meeting will begin with a presentation by agency representatives, followed by a question and answer session. The informational meeting will not be conducted as part of the record.
In addition to the public meeting, there will be a public hearing on October 16, 2003, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Independence Visitor Center, Independence Ballroom, 2nd Floor, One North Independence Mall West, 6th and Market Streets, Philadelphia. Comments for the record will be accepted at the public hearing, but no agency responses will be offered at that time. Written comments will be accepted through October 21, 2003, and should be submitted to Lenka Berlin, Office of Watersheds (3WP10), USEPA, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029, berlin.lenka@pamail.epa.gov. The draft report, including the basis and background document and calculations for the TMDLs, will be published on the DRBC website, http://www.drbc.net, by September 15, 2003.
The EPA will review all data and information submitted during the comment period, will respond to comments and will revise the TMDLs as appropriate. A written response document will be prepared prior to final EPA action.
The proposed TMDLs for the Delaware River were developed in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Delaware River, Zones 2--4, has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to PCBs. (Zone 5 runs between the states of Delaware and New Jersey and is therefore not listed on Pennsylvania's 303(d) list but is included in the TMDLs.)
The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles degraded 00002 Delaware River (02E) 16.5 (tidal portion only) 00002 Delaware River (02F) 1.7 00002 Delaware River (03F) 4.4 00002 Delaware River (03G) 9.4 00002 Delaware River (03J) 22.9 The draft report provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept PCBs and maintain levels that meet water quality standards. The applicable Pennsylvania and DRBC water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criteria PCBs 44 pg/l Technical development and interstate coordination necessary to support the TMDLs for PCBs in the Delaware River have been provided by the DRBC. The EPA will adopt the TMDLs for PCBs in the Delaware River in a single regulatory action. The EPA then will forward the TMDLs to the Department, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. These agencies will incorporate the TMDLs into their current water quality management plans.
The meeting in Delaware will be held on September 22, 2003, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Carvel State Office Building, 820 North French Street, 2nd Floor, Wilmington. The meeting in New Jersey will be held on September 24, 2003, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Public Hearing Room, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, 401 East State Street, Trenton.
