  4. VDOT’S APPLICATION OF NHD 2 • VDOT is not a designated steward under the MOU • VDOT is a permitted small MS4 in Virginia • Has a need for identifying receiving waters as well as associated watershed • Particularly for impairedwaters and approved TMDLs

  5. VDOT’S APPLICATION OF NHD 2 • VDOT needed a quick and efficient system to identify projects that will be required to follow TMDL requirements • EEE and JMT developed a watershed delineation tool that would create a watershed from the downstream point of a DEQ listed impaired water

  6. VDOT’S INVOLVEMENT WITH NHD EDITS 3 • DEQ impaired dataset medium resolution (1:100,000). • Discontinuous and lacked directionality • VDOT offered to utilize their MS4 contractor to update the NHD dataset to a point where DEQ would adopt it as the impaired waters dataset

  7. BALANCE OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 4 • Edit in a manner consistent with the Stewards current practices • Met with USGS, DEQ, DCR and DGIF to discuss their knowledge and expertise • Stewards need to know what our objectives • They need to know where we left off
