Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for Hospital Creek, Little Cacoosing Creek, Owl Creek and an Unnamed Tributary to Tulpehocken Creek Watersheds in Lebanon and Berks Counties The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Hospital Creek, Little Cacoosing Creek, Owl Creek and an unnamed tributary to Tulpehocken Creek watersheds in Lebanon and Berks Counties. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in all four of these watersheds. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation, suspended solids and/or nutrients emanating from agricultural land uses. Residential development has also been identified as a source of impairment in the Hospital Creek watershed.
There currently are no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation, suspended solids or nutrients. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment and phosphorus in the Hospital Creek, Little Cacoosing Creek, Owl Creek and unnamed tributary to Tulpehocken Creek watersheds. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in these watersheds. The sediment and phosphorus loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment and phosphorus loadings for the four watersheds. Overall load reductions necessary to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDLs and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of the proposed TMDLs, contact Joseph P. Hepp, Water Pollution Biologist 2, Water Management Program, Southcentral Regional Office, Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4788, e-mail: jhepp@state.pa.us.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by 60 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held on August 26, 2002, at 7 p.m. in the 1st Floor Auditorium, Berks County Ag. Center, 1238 County Welfare Road, Leesport, PA.
