1 Chowan River TMDL Development Tidewater Area 08/26/04

2 TMDL Development Historical data analysis Source assessment Bacterial source tracking Modeling Allocation

3 Fecal Coliform Impairments Impaired Stream Segments in the Back Bay and North Landing River watersheds

4 Water Quality Data Analysis Location of VADEQ water quality monitoring stations in the Back Bay and North Landing River watersheds

5 Water Quality Data Analysis Fecal Coliform Concentrations

6 Water Quality Data Analysis E. coli concentrations for period July 2002 through March 2004

7 Water Quality Data Analysis Statistical Analysis of Water Quality Measurements versus Precipitation to determine the relationship between rainfall and water quality Summary of the Mood Median Test on mean monthly precipitation at station 444101 (p=0.013).

8 Source Assessment Identification of Sources DEQ/DCR/Locality records Ag Census Habitat Analysis Stakeholders, local knowledge BST Source Characterization Fecal production / densities / distribution Delivery Mechanisms Direct Land-applied Exported Out of Watershed Temporal Variation

9 Permitted Discharges * Farm no longer active Two permitted dischargers – one in West Neck, one in Nawney Creek. Only one is currently active.

11 Human Sanitary sewer Overflows - reported to DEQ Exfiltration – rate from literature Failing septic systems Rate based on age of house Straight pipes U.S. Census and VDH consultation

12 Reported Sewer Overflows Frequent overflows in West Neck Creek Drainage. 55 events reported between July 1999 and May 2004. Uncertainty as to whether all overflows are reported/observed. Mean overflow volume of 109 gallons.
