Download or read book Development of a Total Maximum Daily Load for Mercury in the Savannah River Basin written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lawsuit was brought against Region IV of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA-IV) by the Sierra Club and others when EPA-IV and the State of Georgia failed to write Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Georgia in a timely manner. The lawsuit resulted in a consent decree that required EPA-IV to write TMDLs for Georgia on a specific timeline. One of the TMDLs EPA-IV developed was for mercury in the Savannah River Basin (SRB). The SRB runs southeast to the Atlantic Ocean and is bordered by both Georgia and South Carolina. Although SRB waters do not exceed aquatic life water quality criteria for mercury, existing fish advisories for mercury were considered by EPA-IV to be a violation of Georgia's ''fishable'' narrative standard, thus requiring inclusion of the SRB in Georgia's 303(d) list of impaired waters under the Clean Water Act. EPA-IV issued a proposed target concentration for mercury in the SRB of 1 part per trillion (ppt, also designated as nanograms per liter, or ng/l) in February 2000. A lengthy period of discussion with stakeholders resulted in site-specific research by EPA and a more palatable final TMDL. The final TMDL gives affected dischargers the option of meeting end-of-pipe limits for mercury of 2.8 ppt or implementing a mercury minimization plan.

This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three rivers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia are contaminated with mercury and have been designated as “impaired” on Virginia's 303d list of contaminated waters due to fish consumption advisories issued by the Virginia Department of Health. These rivers, the South River, South Fork Shenandoah River, and the Shenandoah River between Front Royal and the confluence with Craig Run (fig. 1), are regulated by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) under the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Program, which develops plans to restore and maintain water quality for impaired waters.

Download or read book Watershed Management for Potable Water Supply written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-02-17 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.
Download or read book Total Maximum Daily Load for Mercury in McPhee Narraguinnep Reservoirs Colorado written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE) has identified McPhee & Narraguinnep Reservoirs as not supporting their designated uses due to the presence of elevated fish tissue concentrations of mercury that have resulted in Fish Consumption Advisories. Mercury concentrations at the levels observed present a significant health risk to persons who consume listed fish from the reservoirs. Because McPhee & Narraguinnep Reservoirs do not support their designated uses, a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is required for mercury loading to the reservoirs. The purpose of this TMDL is to provide an estimate of pollutant loading reductions needed to restore the classified uses of McPhee and Narraguinnep reservoirs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 8, is supporting CDPHE in the development of this TMDL.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
