Dr. Wood’s lecture featured a thorough discussion of the Accotink Creek TMDL. Sandy and Dave presented the perspective of how the TMDL may be working or not working. Will Isenberg of DEA also gave a good talk on his agency and the TMDL process. Dave observed this was an experience worth repeating. Flint described how the current TMDL is the successor to an earlier TMDL attempt that ended in lawsuits. The earlier TMDL was an bid by the EPA to employ stormwater flow regulation as a means to the end of reduced sediment. This concept proved just a bit too challenging for Fairfax County and VDOT to accept. o Green Breakfast Young Conservation Leaders October 10, 2020 Nimesh, a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson H.S., summarized two studies he had completed concerning the Accotink Creek watershed: ✓ Water Quality in Accotink Creek , an examination of the effects of a stream cleanup on four separate chemical indicators ✓ Effect of Microhabitats on Insect Biodiversity , a comparison of insect species diversity in different habitat types, including in Nottoway Park.
