Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

Slide deck from October 2008 describing an HSPF-based Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analysis for mercury in the South River. Presents model structure, calibration at Waynesboro and Harriston, a bioaccumulation factor (BAF) linking water Hg to fish tissue (0.3 ppm target), and a TMDL scenario (4B) that substantially reduces channel-margin and runoff loads to reach a 3.8 ng/L water target.

Review Notes : Document is a presentation slide deck; date taken from slide header. Numerical values (e.g., 3.8 ng/L target, existing and TMDL loads, percent reductions) were read directly from slides. Slides include "preliminary data subject to revision" disclaimers. No explicit author other than Virginia DEQ logo; I did not infer authorship beyond what is visible.
