Board Ends Hearing on Water Quality Standards
The Virginia State Water Control Board finished an eight month series of hearings on proposed water quality standards for streams. Public comment remains open for 30 days. The standard would go to the board for adoption likely in November. The York River basin hearings were the shortest and quietest. A representative urged protection of Spotsylvania Caroline and Hanover streams for fishing in addition to farming. A suggested change would raise dissolved oxygen to 4 mg per liter and oppose a 95 degree temperature ceiling for Pamunkey and Anna rivers. Officials defended the plan noting measures to protect fish life include bans on rapid temperature shifts thermal barriers and preserving spawning areas.
