The meeting will be held on March 10, 2009, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Knox District Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDL was developed in accordance with the requirements of The Clean Water Act, section 303(d). One stream segment in the Redbank Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals and depressed pH. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 48064 Redbank Creek 1.4 The proposed plans provide calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion Total Recoverable/ Parameter value (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the Redbank Creek Watershed is abandoned mine workings. The watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th century and mining continues on a smaller scale today. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations which are established for permitted point sources.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over a year period.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.
The proposed TMDL for the Redbank Creek Watershed can be accessed through the Department's web site (www.dep.state.pa.us) by typing ''TMDL'' in the DEP Keyword field and clicking GO.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by April 1, 2009. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. Monday, March 9, 2009. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meting should contact the Department at (814) 797-1191 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting. Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)s for the Lower Clarion River and Deer Creek Watersheds in Clarion County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding public meetings to discuss and accept comments on proposed TMDLs for the Lower Clarion River and Deer Creek Watersheds in Clarion County. The meetings will be held on February 24, 2009, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Knox District Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDLs were developed in accordance with the requirements of The Clean Water Act, section 303(d). One stream segment in the Lower Clarion River Watershed and one segment in the Deer Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals and depressed pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 49224 Clarion River 4.3 49407 Deer Creek 10.6 The proposed plans provide calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion Total Recoverable/ Parameter value (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for these watersheds is abandoned mine workings.

The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations which are established for permitted point sources.

Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDLs.
The TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over a 2 year period.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department.
