Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Watershed of Ross Run
Indiana CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Watershed of Ross Run in Indiana County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Streams within this watershed are listed in Pennsylvania's Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report as being impaired due to siltation resulting from agricultural activities.
Impairments were addressed by establishing a TMDL of sediment. 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 Ross Run. Sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories (nonpoint sources) present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
