REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Carpenters Run Watershed (or Unnamed Tributary to West Branch Susquehanna River) in Lycoming County.
Central Office: Bureau of Clean Water, P.O. Box 8774, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774.
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed ''TMDLs'' developed for the Carpenters Run Watershed in Lycoming County under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were identified as being caused by excessive siltation due to agriculture.
There currently are no state or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to develop the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL document sets allowable loading of sediment in the Carpenters Run Watershed. The ''TMDLs'' included allocations for nonpoint sources, reserves for current and future point sources, as well as margin of safety factors. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land, and streambank source sectors present in the watershed. Data used in establishing the ''TMDLs'' were primarily generated using a water quality analysis model (Model My Watershed) made available through the Stroud Water Research Center.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings within the watershed, the prescribed ''TMDL'' values, and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.

Otherwise, copies of the proposed TMDL document or supporting information may be requested by emailing Michael Morris at michamorri@pa.gov.
Written/typed comments will be accepted at the above email address. Comment submissions must be submitted within 30 days after publication of this notice in the May 15, 2021 issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The Department will consider all written/typed comments submitted within the deadline prior to submitting the final TMDL to EPA for approval. To ensure timely receipt of comments given the office closure and work from home order, please do not mail hard copies of comments. Rather please submit them by email at michamorri@pa.gov. If comments cannot be emailed, please call Michael Morris at 717.772.5670 to request another method of comment submission.
