5) NEWS: Final TMDL for Cane Creek Available
The final Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for fecal coliform in
Cane Creek, Hiwassee River Watershed (HUC 06020002), McMinn County,
is available on the TDEC website.
Purpose of the study:
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires each state to list
those waters within its boundaries for which technology based effluent
limitations are not stringent enough to protect any water quality
standard applicable to such waters. Listed waters are prioritized
with respect to designated use classifications and the severity
of pollution. In accordance with this prioritization, states are
required to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for those
water bodies that are not meeting designated uses. The TMDL process
establishes the allowable loadings of pollutants or other quantifiable
parameters for a waterbody based on the relationship between pollution
sources and in-stream water quality conditions, so that states can
establish water quality based controls to reduce pollution from
both point and nonpoint sources and restore and maintain the quality
of their water resources. Tennessee's final 1998 303(d) list identified
Cane Creek as not fully supporting designated use classifications
due, in part, to pathogens. The fecal coliform group is an indicator
of the presence of pathogens in a stream. The objective of this
study is to develop a fecal coliform TMDL for Cane Creek in the
Hiwassee River watershed.

6) NEWS: U.S. Senate Ponders the Scope of the Clean Water Act
On June 10, 2003 the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee,
Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife and Water held a hearing to
discuss the "regulatory and legal status" of federal jurisdiction
under the Clean Water Act. Statements by Senate members and testimony
by
witnesses clarified where the battle lines will be drawn in the
fight to maintain the historical level of protection for the Clean
Water Act.
The statements and questions from Senators Crapo (R-ID), Inhofe
(R-OK), Thomas (R-WY), and Murkowski (R-AK) showed that opponents
of the environment have honed a shared message in support of a rulemaking
that rolls back Clean Water Act protections. Each of these Senators
spoke exclusively of the wetlands impacts of a rulemaking (avoiding
or ignoring the impacts on streams and other waters) and focused
on the theme of "confusion and chaos" that exists as a
result of the Supreme Court SWANCC decision. Their solution: a quick
response with rules from EPA and the Corps. Supporters of the rollback
also made clear that they would portray the Clean Water Authority
Restoration Act (see below for more information on this important
bill) as an attempt to expand the scope of the Clean Water Act.
The subcommittee heard testimony from Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI),
lead sponsor of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Act, S. 473,
a bill to delete the term "navigable" from the statutory
definition of "waters of the United States" and place
into the statute the regulatory definition of waters of the U.S.
that has been in place since 1977. This will clarify Congress's
intent that all waters of the US should receive federal protection.
The Senator made the point that the ANPRM and guidance released
by EPA go far beyond the narrow holdings of the SWANCC
case.
This narrow reading of the Supreme Court's holding in SWANCC was
echoed, perhaps surprisingly, in the testimony of the first panel:
Tracy Mehan (Assistant Administrator for Water, USEPA), George Dunlop
(Deputy Assistant Secretary for Civil Works, Dept. of the Army),
and Thomas L. Sansonetti (Assistant Attorney General for Environment
and Natural Resources, Dept. of Justice). Mr. Mehan made clear that
EPA would prefer that the scope of the Act extend "as far as
ecology and hydrology" allow. But the administration officials
later demurred from this position; however, saying that Congress's
intent, not science, would determine the scope of the waters covered
by the Act.
Two witnesses spoke on behalf of the environment on the final panel.
Richard Hamann, University of Florida, argued that "isolated
wetlands and waters are seldom truly isolated" and "the
importance of the nation's waters is not defined by navigability.
The discharge of oil,
toxic substances or untreated sewage into an 'isolated' wetland
or body of water, or a remote stream, can have devastating consequences
for human health and the environment." Scott Yaich, Ducks Unlimited,
concluded his testimony by noting that the administration's plan
has the
"potential to reverse three decades of progress in slowing
the rate of net wetland loss and degradation."

7) NEWS: Conservation Groups to Protect Clean Water From Oil Spills
Oil industry efforts to narrow federal water safeguards are being
opposed by environmental groups intervening in two lawsuits that
could impact the steps that the oil industry - and all other industries
- are required to take to protect U.S. waters from pollution. Earthjustice,
on behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Sierra
Club, has filed a motion to intervene in American Petroleum Institute
(API) v. EPA and Marathon Oil v. EPA, two related suits in which
the oil industry is seeking to weaken the protective measures required
by the Clean Water Act.
More than half the nation's waters - ranging from neighborhood creeks
and fishing holes to entire drinking water supplies - could lose
federal protection if the oil industry's argument is successful.
At issue is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's oil spill
prevention program, which is designed to prevent discharges of oil
into the waters of the United States, and to contain those discharges
if they occur. The oil industry claims that it should only have
to take steps to prevent oil spills in certain waters, narrowly
defined as "navigable," and thus can legally discharge
oil into most of the nation's streams and creeks and many of its
wetlands.
In their lawsuits, the oil industry is arguing that most of the
nation's waters are not protected under the Clean Water Act. If
the industry cases are successful, every polluting industry - not
just the oil industry - could win the right to dump pollution directly
into creeks and streams, including those that feed directly into
major waterways. Environmentalists are concerned that the government
will not aggressively defend the Clean Water Act from the oil industry's
legal challenge. In fact, Bush administration officials are already
in closed-door settlement discussions with the oil industry over
these lawsuits. The White House's "sue-and-settle" strategy
has produced several court settlements between the federal government
and industry groups that have relaxed rules to boost logging in
national forests, scaled back wildlife habitat protections to allow
development, and overturned bans on the use of snowmobiles in national
parks.
The lawsuits are one of two major, ongoing attacks on the jurisdiction
of the Clean Water Act. Earlier this year, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency initiated a process to rewrite Clean Water Act
rules to illegally limit the scope of the law. Sixty percent or
more of our nation's streams and 20 percent of our wetlands could
lose federal protection under the Bush administration proposal.
Polluters could then dump wastes into these waterways without a
Clean Water Act permit, without notifying the public, and without
fear of any Clean Water Act enforcement. The resulting contamination
of these waters from sewage, oil, hazardous chemicals and other
pollutants would be disastrous for our drinking water supplies,
wildlife habitat, and flood control.

8) NEWS: National Study of Chemical Residues in Lake Fish Tissue
The National Study of Chemical Residues in Lake Fish Tissue (or
the National Fish Tissue Study) is a four-year national screening-level
freshwater fish contamination study. The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's Office of Science and Technology within the Office of Water
is conducting this study as a priority activity under the Agency's
Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic Chemicals (PBT) Initiative.
The National Fish Tissue Study is the first national fish tissue
survey to be based on a probabilistic (random) sampling design,
and it will generate data on the largest set of PBT chemicals ever
studied in fish. The statistical design of the study will allow
EPA to develop national estimates of the mean concentrations of
265 chemicals in fish tissue from lakes and reservoirs of the continental
United States. EPA will use the study results to define national
background levels for the 265 chemicals in fish, to establish a
baseline to track progress of pollution control activities, and
to identify areas where contaminant levels are high enough to warrant
further investigation.

9) RESOURCE: Partners for Pathways Grants Available
Partners for Pathways, a new partnership between the Tennessee Ready
Mixed Concrete Association (TRMCA) and the Tennessee Parks and Greenways
Foundation (The Foundation) will provide Tennessee State Parks with
enhancements such as picnic pavilions, boardwalks and piers, campground
paths, trailhead parking and disability-accessible scenic overlooks.
Partners for Pathways will provide grants worth a total of $15,000
per year plus administrative funding, with the average grant ranging
from $200 to $1000-plus per project. The Foundation will administer
the grant program and TRMCA and its member companies statewide will
provide funding, concrete and skilled labor. Nonprofit organizations
as well as Tennessee State Parks are eligible for grants, but projects
must be built inside state parks. For information about applying
for Partners for Pathways grants, call Tennessee Parks and Greenways
Foundation at
615-386-3171.
"It's crucial that businesses, nonprofits and volunteers work
together to enhance our Tennessee State Parks and natural areas,"
said Kathleen Williams, executive director of The Foundation. "Partners
for Pathways is a public-private partnership that will benefit the
millions of people
who visit our state parks and natural areas every year."
A primary objective of the partnership is to enhance Tennessee
State Parks' facilities in an environmentally-friendly manner.
"Most of the projects will be constructed with pervious concrete,
known as the 'pavement that drinks,'" said Alan Sparkman, executive
director of TRMCA. "Pervious concrete has tiny holes in its
surface that allow water to flow through the concrete and slowly
percolate into the soil
below. This process reduces storm water run-off and better protects
the environment, as well as allowing pavement to dry faster so park
visitors can walk on a dry surface."
"Partners for Pathways will help Tennessee State Parks meet
special needs that aren't presently funded," said Jim Fyke,
Deputy Commissioner for Parks and Conservation.
"We also need to build trail heads, campground paths and other
enhancements in an environmentally-sensitive manner," said
Charlie Tate, Director of Natural and Cultural Resource Management
for Tennessee State Parks. "Using pervious concrete will help
us reduce stormwater run-off and keep natural waterways clean and
clear."
