1 Chowan River TMDL Development Nottoway Area 08/31/04

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

3 Fecal Coliform Impairments Impaired Stream Segments in the Nottoway River watershed

4 Water Quality Data Analysis Location of VADEQ water quality monitoring stations used for TMDL assessment in the Nottoway River watershed

5 Water Quality Data Analysis Fecal Coliform Concentrations

6 Water Quality Data Analysis Location of BST water quality monitoring stations in the Nottoway River watershed

7 Water Quality Data Analysis E. coli concentrations

8 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).

9 Source Assessment Identification of Sources DEQ/DCR/Locality records VPDES U.S. Census Ag Census Habitat Analysis Stakeholders, local knowledge – improve estimates BST Delivery Mechanisms Direct Land-applied Exported Out of Watershed Temporal Variation Migration Patterns/Resident Populations Import/Export of agricultural/STP waste?

24 Modeling Source Loads Source Characterization Fecal production / densities / distribution Delivery Mechanisms Direct Land-applied Exported Out of Watershed Temporal Variation

25 Load Characteristics

26 Model Load Characterization “Direct to Stream” Loads Point Sources: Design Flow/Fecal Discharge Overflows: Reported overflow volume Characterize Volume and Duration Animal/Human: direct deposition, straight pipes “Land Applied” Loads Wildlife, Livestock, Pets Transported to stream during runoff producing event Use measured waste characteristics Compute die-off in between events Application timing

27 Wildlife

28 Livestock Average percentage of collected livestock waste applied throughout year

29 Livestock Average time dairy milking cows spend in different areas per day

30 Livestock Average time dry cows and replacement heifers spend in different areas per day

31 Livestock Average time beef cows not confined in feedlots spend in areas per day

32 Allocation Quantify Current Source Conditions Run model with present-day sources Develop reduction scenarios that will meet water quality standards 100% reduction in straight pipes, 25% reduction in failed septic systems 100% reduction in straight pipes, 50% reduction in livestock direct deposition Allocate loads to each source
