The Department of Environmental Protection published a notice inviting comments on a proposed Total Maximum Daily Load Plan for the Mummasburg Run Watershed in Adams County (July 11 PA Bulletin, page 3545).
The DEP Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to aquatic life use impairments caused by excessive siltation and nutrients from agriculture.

Comments are due August 10. Questions should be directed to Michael Morris at michamorri@pa.gov.
