Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the
Little Chiques Creek WatershedThe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) are holding a public meeting on June 19th, 2013, at 6:00 p.m., at the Mount Joy Borough Municipal Office, 21 East Main Street, Mount Joy, PA 17552. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Little Chiques Creek Watershed. In accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, stream segments in the Little Chiques Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired due to high levels of nutrients and sediment, as a result of agricultural land uses.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in Little Chiques Creek Watershed for nutrients and sediment. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using ArcView Generalized Watershed Loading Function (AVGWLF), a PADEP-approved method.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from PADEP. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on PADEP's website (www.dep. state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, PADEP, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.
Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked no later than July 8th, 2013. PADEP will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the
Lycoming Creek WatershedThe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) are holding a public meeting on June 24, 2013, at 6:00 p.m., at the Lewis Township Building, 69 Main Street, Trout Run, PA 17771. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Lycoming Creek Watershed. In accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, stream segments in the Lycoming Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired due to low pH, as a result of atmospheric deposition.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in Lycoming Creek Watershed for acidity. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using field data collected in 2012.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from PADEP. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on PADEP's website (www.dep. state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, PADEP, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.
Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked no later than July 8th, 2013. PADEP will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the

The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in Warrior Run Watershed for nutrients and sediment. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using ArcView Generalized Watershed Loading Function (AVGWLF), a PADEP-approved method.
