DEP Invites Comments On Proposed TMDL Plan For Watershed In Adams County

The Department of Environmental Protection published a notice inviting comments on a proposed
Total Maximum Daily Load Plan for the Mummasburg Run Watershed in Adams County (July 11 PA Bulletin, page 3545).
The DEP Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to aquatic life use impairments caused by excessive siltation and nutrients from agriculture.

Comments are due August 10.  Questions should be directed to Michael Morris at michamorri@pa.gov.

Read the entire PA Bulletin notice for more information. (July 11 PA Bulletin, page 3545)
