SPECIAL NOTICES
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Watershed of Whiteley Creek
in Greene CountySouthwest Region: Watershed Management Program Manager, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Watershed of Whiteley Creek in Greene County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Streams within this watershed were listed in Pennsylvania's 2006 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report as being impaired due to sedimentation resulting from agricultural activities.
There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of sediment in the watershed of Whiteley Creek. Sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact Joe Boylan at joboylan@state.pa.us, or by mail at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by July 1, 2008. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on June 3, 2008, at 6 p.m. at the Greene Township Municipal Building; 243 Garards Fort Road, Garards Fort, PA 15334, (724) 627-8935.
