Public Comment Opportunity on Two Water Quality Action Plans to Protect Local Waterways
The City of Alexandria invites the public to provide comments on two Local Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Action Plans, which outline sources of pollutants and reduction strategies to protect and enhance local waterways.
As part of the City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ), the City is required to update two local TMDL action plans developed initially in 2015. Action plans outline strategies to limit the amount of a pollutant entering a waterway. The first is the Bacteria TMDL Action Plan which addresses sources of bacteria for the Hunting Creek, Cameron Run, Holmes Run, and Four Mile Run, and the second is the Tidal Potomac PCB TMDL Action Plan, which addresses legacy PCBs given that they are persistent in the environment and most new sources have been controlled.
Use this form to submit comments to the City.
The plans are available on the City's Local TMDL Webpage.
