WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River. -
Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Upper Guyandotte River Watershed, West Virginia
Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Upper Guyandotte River Watershed, West Virginia __________________________________ Catherine A. Libertz, Director Water Division Date: _________ ______________ Decision Rationale Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Upper Guyandotte River Watershed, West Virginia I. Introduction The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) be developed for those waterbodies identified as impaired by a state where technology-based effluent limits and other pollution controls do not provide for the attainment of water quality standards. A TMDL establishes a target for the total load of a particular pollutant that a water body can assimilate and divides that load into wasteload allocations (WLA), given to point sources, load allocations (LAs), given to nonpoint sources and natural background, and a margin of safety (MOS), which takes into account any uncertainty. Mathematically, a TMDL is commonly expressed as an equation, shown below. 푇푀퐷퐿 = ∑푊퐿퐴푠 +∑퐿퐴푠 + 푀푂푆 This document sets forth the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III’s (EPA’s) rationale for approving 380 TMDLs submitted by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) for total iron, total selenium, and/or fecal coliform bacteria in the Upper Guyandotte River Watershed. The TMDLs were developed to address impairments of water quality standards as identified on West Virginia’s section 303(d) list of water quality- limited segments. WVDEP electronically submitted the TMDLs in its report titled Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Upper Guyandotte River Watershed West Virginia (February 2021) (hereinafter referred to as the “TMDL Report”), to EPA for final review and action on February 26, 2021. -
