City of Newport News
Back River and Warwick River Bacteria TMDL Action Plan
2024-2029 Permit Cycle
Figure 2. Back River Impairments, with Newmarket Creek – Lower Riverine Segment Noted
To bring the Back River into compliance with water quality standards, total bacterial discharges must
be reduced by 37 percent. The City of Newport News’ wasteload allocation requires a 17.5 percent
reduction (Table 2), expressed in colony-forming units (CFU). The control measures and program
enhancements described in Sections 3 and 4 of this TMDL Action Plan will enable the City to achieve
its WLA to the maximum extent practicable, as mandated by the current MS4 permit.Jump to an indexed page (17 of 17)
