EPA Region 3 published public notices recently on the availability of three Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports. These TMDLs address impairments including bacteria, mercury from atmospheric deposition, and excessive nutrients and sediment from nonpoint sources in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

TMDLs are being proposed for: Skippack Creek in Montgomery County, Pa.; Lake Wallenpaupack in Pike and Wayne Counties, Pa.; and the Christina River Basin, which is an interstate TMDL spanning Chester County, Pa. and Newcastle County, Del.

Public meetings will be held during the weeks of February 7 and 14, and the public comment period closes in March.
