Discharge Location Description: The resort is on the south side of the Blue Ridge Parkway, milepost 189, Groundhog Mountain, Patrick County, Virginia. The treatment plant is located in a hollow, between two ridges on the western side of the Groundhog Mountain Estates area of the resort. A copy of a portion of the USGS topographic map indicating the discharge location is included in Attachment A. There are no significant (large) dischargers to the receiving stream or water intakes within the immediate area. Name of Topo: Laurel Fork (020A) Discharge: N 36°38’24”, E 80°32’29” 12. Material Storage: Tablets used for chlorination and dechlorination are stored within a storage building within the fenced and locked plant yard. No materials are stored in a location that exposes them to rainfall where they might present a risk of reaching State waters. 13. Ambient Water Quality Information The receiving water body is an unnamed tributary to Birds Branch. The receiving water body is within Section 1 of the Yadkin River basin and no designated sub-basin of the State Water Control Board’s Water Quality Standards, River Basin Section Tables (9 VAC 25-260-460). The receiving stream is Class IV - Mountainous Zones Water with the special standards of Public Water Supply (PWS) applicable due to the proximity to the VA-NC state line. The outfall is at river mile 3.24. Groundhog Mountain Resort STP falls into the Yadkin River/Upper Ararat River watershed (VAW-M03R). The VAW-M03R watershed segment begins at the headwaters of the Ararat River and ends downstream at the Virginia/North Carolina state line. The segment includes the tributaries Johnson, Doe Run and Clarks Creek. The receiving stream drains to the Ararat River in a segment denoted as a Class IV water. The discharge is not within the segment where Natural Trout Waters or where Stockable Trout Waters are designated, in the Standards. Attachment A contains data from STORET Station 4BARA035.13 used to calculate the receiving stream values for pH, temperature and hardness. 303(d) Listed Segments (TMDL): This facility discharges to an unnamed tributary to Birds Branch. In the 2010 305(b) Water Quality Assessment Report prepared by DEQ, the Groundhog Mountain Resort STP falls into the Yadkin River/Upper Ararat River watershed (VAW-M03R). The 2010 305(b)/303(d) Integrated Report on Assessment the tributary sections of the watershed have not had their water Uses assessed. An excerpt from the web-based VEGIS mapping of the 2010 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Report is provided in Attachment A. However, the Ararat River downstream of the discharge is 303(d) Listed for bacteria and mercury in fish tissues (see Attachment A). The TMDL has not been developed for either impairment. As an existing discharge within the watershed the facility should be included as appropriate in the TMDL when written. There is no approved TMDL for either the downstream bacteria or mercury impairment so no monitoring is included in this reissuance. After TMDL adoption it is VPDES Permit No. VA0066575 Page 3 of 9 expected that E. coli monitoring for an allocation will be part of the permit. The TMDL reopener special condition is included. 14. Antidegradation Review and Comments: Tier1 Tier2 X Tier3 The State Water Control Board's Water Quality Standards includes an antidegradation policy (9 VAC 25-260- 30). All state surface waters are provided one of three levels of antidegradation protection. For Tier 1 or existing use protection, existing uses of the water body and the water quality to protect these uses must be maintained. Tier 2 water bodies have water quality that is better than the water quality standards. Significant lowering of the water quality of Tier 2 waters is not allowed without an evaluation of the economic and social impacts. Tier 3 water bodies are exceptional waters and are so designated by regulatory amendment. The antidegradation policy prohibits new or expanded discharges into exceptional waters. The antidegradation review begins with a Tier determination. The unnamed tributary to Birds Branch is determined to be a Tier 2 waterbody. This determination is based on the waterbody segment (VAW-M03R) is not listed on Part I of the 303(d) list for exceedance of water quality criteria. As the headwaters of a mountainous stream, there is no data to indicate that this water is not better than the standards for all parameters that the Board has adopted criteria. As a Public Water Supply, in accordance with Guidance Memorandum 00-2011, the waterbody would be designated to be Tier 2 waters, and no significant degradation of existing quality would be allowed. For purposes of aquatic life protection in Tier 2 waters, “significant degradation” means that no more than 25 percent of the difference between the acute and chronic aquatic criteria values and the existing quality (unused assimilative capacity) may be allocated. For purposes of human health protection, “significant degradation” means that no more than 10 percent of the difference between the human health criteria and the existing quality (unused assimilative capacity) may be allocated. The antidegradation baseline for aquatic life and human health are calculated for each pollutant as follows: Antidegradation baseline (aquatic life) = 0.25 (WQS – existing quality) + existing quality Antidegradation baseline (human health) = 0.10 (WQS – existing quality) + existing quality Where: “WQS” = Numeric criterion listed in 9 VAC 25-260-5 et seq. for the parameter analyzed “Existing quality” = Concentration of the parameter being analyzed in the receiving stream These “antidegradation baselines” become the new water quality criteria in Tier 2 waters and effluent limits for future expansions must be written to maintain the antidegradation baselines for each pollutant. Antidegradation baselines were calculated at the last reissuance as described above. However, the discharge was listed as a domestic waste discharger in the 1975 Water Quality Management Plan for the Roanoke River Basin which is before the State Water Control Board’s adoption of an anti- degradation policy on November 28, 1975.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary During its fifth full year of operations in fiscal year 2007-08, the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) took on new challenges and continued to register fresh successes in meeting its goals of improving North Carolina’s environment while facilitating responsible economic growth for the state and its residents. EEP continued to collaborate with federal, state and local governments, contractors and willing landowners to provide goods and services, basing its work on a solid foundation of watershed plan- ning that goes beyond mere environmental permitting and compliance. The initiative also extended its record of carrying out its mission without a single transportation-project delay due to the lack of mitigation, helping to move forward more than $4.8 billion in transportation-infrastructure im- provements since becoming operational in 2003. Key developments in FY 2007-08 included: • Responding to changes to federal rules guiding aquatic-resource mitigation. Under the leadership of the Governor’s office, N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) and EEP petitioned the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in late 2007 to promote in- lieu fee programs such as EEP as a method to providing third-party mitigation for public- and pri- vate-sector development. The new rule, which became effective in June of 2008, gave recognition to EEP’s unique national status and maintained ILFs as a viable option. The rule will require EEP to make operational adjustments and the details of these changes are being evaluated.

  • Lebanon Hill Historic District National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Sections 7 and 8 (May 10, 2019)
    Lebanon Hill Historic District National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Sections 7 and 8 (May 10, 2019) Section 7 Summary The Lebanon Hill Historic District embraces approximately 80 acres and ___ [count to be determined] primary resources in the City of Mount Airy, Surry County, North Carolina. The district is predominately residential in character with a scattering of commercial and institutional properties. Building styles include Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, Arts and Crafts, Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Period Cottage, Minimal Traditional, Moderne, Modernistic, Ranch, and Split Level. The topography is gently rolling, with an intermittent watercourse flowing westward toward Lovills Creek, a tributary of the Ararat River. The highest elevation is Lebanon Hill, the hill for which the district is named, at approximately 1,150 feet above sea level. The lowest point appears to be at the west end of West Lebanon Street at around 1,060 feet above sea level. Narrative Description The Lebanon Hill Historic District’s principal streets are Katelin Place, Lebanon Street (East and West), North Main Street, Orchard Street, North Street, Poplar Street (East and West), Taylor Street, and Willow Street. The streets and blocks are generally non-orthogonal, reflecting pre- existing road courses that respond to topographical features. Development commenced at the end of the nineteenth century, as suggested by the presence of at least one house from that period, the Eugene Smith House at 137 Taylor Street, which appears to date to the 1890s, possibly as early as 1886. Most residential construction dates to after ca. 1900, however, and peaked in the 1910s and 1920s.
