Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Doylestown Stream Watershed in Franklin County The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Doylestown Stream Watershed in Franklin County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation and nutrients.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation 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 nutrients in the Doylestown Stream Watershed. The loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land and streambank categories present in the watershed. 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 nutrient loadings for the watershed. Overall the load reduction necessary in order to meet the TMDLs is also identified.

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 any of the proposed TMDLs contact Gary M. Gocek, Water Program Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17105, Phone: 717-772-1674, e-mail: ggocek@pa.gov.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 30 days after publication in the PA Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held upon request.
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
Developed for the Dry Run Watershed in Franklin CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Dry Run Watershed in Franklin County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Dry Run Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, coal mines/quarry and streambank categories present in the watershed. 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 loadings for the watershed. Overall the load reduction necessary in order to meet the TMDLs is also identified.
