  • Benthic TMDL Development for the Roanoke River, Virginia
    Benthic TMDL Development for the Roanoke River, Virginia Submitted to Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Prepared by 2300 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20037 March 2006 Benthic TMDL Development for Roanoke River Executive Summary Introduction As required by Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and current EPA regulations, states are required to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for waterbodies that exceed water quality standards. The Roanoke River was included on Virginia’s 1996 Section 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report (DEQ, 1996) because of violations of the General Standard (benthic impairment). The headwaters of the Roanoke River originate in southwest Virginia. The Roanoke River flows through southcentral Virginia before crossing the North Carolina state line and discharging into the Albemarle Sound in North Carolina. Impairment Listing The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) uses biological monitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates as one method to assess support of the aquatic life use for a waterbody. Bioassessments of the benthic macroinvertebrate community of the Roanoke River were performed by DEQ using modified Rapid Bioassessment Protocols (EPA, 1999). Results of bioassessments indicated a moderately impaired benthic community at three monitoring stations on the river (4AROA202.20, 4AROA206.03, and 4AROA206.95). Therefore, since the river only partially supports the designated aquatic life use, the General Standard is being violated. As a result, the Roanoke River was included on the Section 303(d) list. Although biological assessments indicated the creek is impaired, additional analyses described in this report were required to identify the causal pollutant (stressor) and sources within the watershed.

  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

  • Bacteria Tmdls for Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River Watersheds, Virginia
    Bacteria TMDLs for Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River Watersheds, Virginia Submitted by Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Prepared by and 2300 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20037 February 2006 Bacteria TMDLs for Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River Watersheds Executive Summary This report presents the development of Bacteria TMDLs for the Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and Roanoke River watersheds, located in the Upper Roanoke River Basin. Segments of Wilson Creek, Ore Branch and the Roanoke River were listed as impaired on Virginia’s 1998 303(d) Total Maximum Daily Load Priority List and Report (DEQ, 1998) because of violations of the state’s water quality standard for fecal coliform bacteria. These segments were also included on Virginia’s 2002 303(d) Report on Impaired Waters and 2004 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment Integrated Report. The impaired segments are located in the Upper Roanoke River Basin in southwestern Virginia. Description of the Study Area Wilson Creek is a tributary to the North Fork Roanoke River and is located in Montgomery County, while Ore Branch is a tributary to the Roanoke River and flows from Roanoke County into Roanoke City. The impaired segment of the Roanoke River begins in Salem City and flows through Roanoke City into Roanoke County. All three streams are located in the Upper Roanoke River Basin (USGS Cataloging Unit 03010101). The watershed is approximately 371,658 acres (580 square miles) and drains portions of Floyd, Montgomery, Roanoke, Botetourt, Bedford and Franklin Counties and all of Salem and Roanoke Cities. Bacteria TMDLs have already been approved for five impaired streams in the watershed: Carvin Creek, Glade Creek, Laymantown Creek, Lick Run and Tinker Creek.
