3 Summarize Results Or Findings Of Local Monitoring Activities And Attach Appropriate Data. Status Report and Update Plan for On April 25, 2000 A fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) collection was completed by GA Department of Natural resources, Wildlife Resources Division, Fisheries Management Section, Stream Survey Team (SST). The stream reach was sampled approximately 120 m upstream of County Road 79, about 5.5 miles ESE of Lumpkin, GA. Approximate coordinates are , The state-listed broadstripe shiner (Pteronotropis euryzonus) was collected in Pataula Creek. In addition to fish sampling for the IBI, basic water quality measurments were taken and a visual habitat assessment was completed at both sites. This site is not part of an ongoing monitoring program by the Stream Survey Team. The Local Governments, US Corp of Engineers, USGS, NRCS, EPD, Georgia Forestry Commission, and local water works all agree that there has not been any water quality monitoring conducted since the latest TMDL data from the Total Maximum Daily Load Evaluation from Thirtyone Stream Segments in the Chattahoochee River Basin For Sediment (Biota Impacted) submitted by EPD in January IV.

SUMMARY OF IMPLEMENTATION PLAN STATUS REPORTS Status Report and Update Plan for Segment Name: Pataula Creek Basin Name: Chattahoochee County: Stewart Location: Headwaters to Clear Creek Last Plan / Revision Date: 6/28/2004 Latest Data Year: Appendix B Status Report Year: 2004 Watershed Assessment (WA): None X Proposed Active WA Jurisdiction: Total BMPS & Percent BMPs Installed/Completed or In Process: Total Milestones & Percent Milestones Met: Impairment: Sediment Total Number BMPs: 6 Percent BMPs: 60% Total Number Milestones: 3 Percent Milestones: 60% Impairment: Total Number BMPs: Percent BMPs: Total Number Milestones: Percent Milestones: Success Summary: Please describe any notable successes in current plan implementation and related activities. Please highlight specific plan implementation activities listed in the current plan that are positively addressing the water impairment. Also, include any activities completed in support of TMDL implementation. For any successful activities that should be expanded, please include in Section 2 Update to TMDL Implementation Plan. All Best Management Practices used to reduce erosion are needed and work the best when mitigating sediment levels within stream segments. One of the best ways to reduce erosion is to plant trees or shrubs within or below areas of erosion. The roots will help lock the soil in place. Paving over the dirt roads within the area will also reduce the amount of sediment that drains into the streams. Obstacles Summary: Please describe any notable problems or barriers to current plan implementation and related activities that should be addressed in next year s revisions. Please highlight specific issues that are obstacles to meeting water quality standards. The greatest problem with the Implementation Plan is public/governmental involvement. Many of the governmental agencies and local citizens have not worked with Pataula Creek since the last Implementation Plan. Therefore, there have not been any stakeholder meetings and very little public outreach. This means that very little has been done to improve the quality of Pataula Creek. 9

10 Status Report and Update Plan for Overall Plan Effectiveness Summary: Please describe the overall effectiveness of current plan implementation and related activities in addressing the water impairment. How adequate are the current management practices and activities that were proposed in original plan? If NOT adequate, what needs to be done to facilitate the existing management practices? What additional management practices and activities would you recommend to better address the sources of the water impairment? Please expand and include in Section 2 Update to TMDL Implementation Plan. The current plan has implemented good Best Management Practices. The most effective are those that hold sediment in place (this includes planting trees and shrubs to retain soil and paving over dirt roads in the area). Having a buffer of trees between the creek and farm will significantly reduce the amount of sediment that can penetrate into the creek. If cleared land is no longer in use for agricultural purposes, trees and shrubs should be planted to reduce pollution levels in Pataula Creek. The current plan, however, describes methods that should be implemented in the future, but most of these proposed activities did not take place. The program lacks leadership to get people motivated to do something about the pollution levels within Pataula Creek. 10

11 Status Report and Update Plan for SECTION 2 UPDATE TO TMDL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN(S) Section 2 is the informational update to the existing TMDL Implementation Plan. The purpose is to allow additional, new information to be appended to the plan that describes activities that have been or could be undertaken since the TMDL Implementation Plan on this stream segment was first completed. II. GENERAL UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT THE WATERSHED OF THE SPECIFIC SEGMENT WATERSHED In the existing TMDL Implementation Plan, this section provided a review of watershed characteristics including its size and location, political jurisdictions, physical features, land uses, and identified potential sources of pollutants that could cause or contribute to violations of water quality standards addressed in the existing TMDL Implementation Plan. Provide any new conditions or changes in information since the existing plan was published. There are two main types of soil within the Pataula Creek watershed. Wagram soil sits on a 0-15% slope. It can be found within cropland, is well drained, and negligible to medium runoff. Where it is cultivated, one can find tobacco, cotton, corn, or small grains. Where it is wooded, one can find loblolly and longleaf pine, white oak, red oak, turkey oak, post oak, hickory, holly, and dogwood. The other soil type is Norfolk, found at a 0-10% slope. It is well drained and negligible to medium runoff. It is used for general farm crops. Where it is cultivated, one can find corn, cotton, peanuts, tobacco, and soybeans. Where it is wooded, one can find pines and mixed hardwoods. III. CAUSES AND SOURCES OF SEGMENT IMPAIRMENT(S) LISTED IN TMDLs In the existing TMDL Implementation Plan, this section provided information contained in the current TMDL for the impaired water body including: Name and location of the impaired segment; water quality criteria violated; and wasteload and load allocations determined in the TMDL. Potential non-point sources described in the TMDL may include spills or leaking pipes from municipal (M) or industrial (I) wastewater treatment systems, urban runoff (UR), and other non-point (NP) sources. By definition, wasteload allocations (WLA) for municipal and industrial wastewater discharges and (WLAsw) for storm water outfalls are established in permitted areas, while load allocations (LA) are established for non-point sources of pollution. Wasteload allocations are assigned by Georgia EPD during the NPDES permitting process and are not part of the TMDL implementation planning process, which deals solely with non-point sources of pollutants. New Table 2. below reflects an update in structure similar to new Tier 2 plans. 11

IDENTIFICATION AND RANKING OF POTENTIAL SOURCES OR CAUSES OF IMPAIRMENT In the existing TMDL Implementation Plan, this section provided a review and evaluation of the sources of impairment for each parameter listed in Table 2. Based on information researched and used in the Plan Status Report, provide any additional information to update this plan. If applicable, write a narrative describing efforts made or procedures used to verify the significance and extent of the sources or causes of each impairment listed in the TMDLs. Include: - New Involvement of stakeholder group - Recent Field surveys - Review of new land cover data - Additional Evaluation of sources The new Implementation Plan does not have any updates on potential sources of sediment that differs from the existing Implementation Plan. Based on information researched and used in the Plan Status Report, provide any additional information to update this plan. If applicable, identify or updated sources and quantify the extent of pollution in the stream segment for each of the parameters listed in Table 2 and evaluate the likely impact on the parameter load to the stream. If applicable, this should follow research performed and described in preceding narrative and should correct or add information to the TMDLs. The SOURCES SHOULD BE RANKED from those having the most impact to those having the least impact. The estimated extent of contribution can be expressed as the area of the watershed effected, the stream miles effected, or the number of activities contributing to the problem. The magnitude of contribution should be estimated to be large, moderate, small, or negligible. 12

14 Status Report and Update Plan for V. STAKEHOLDERS In the existing TMDL Implementation Plan, this section provided a review of public involvement through the stakeholder process which is a vital component of TMDL implementation planning. Stakeholders with local knowledge can provide valuable information regarding their communities, impaired waters, potential sources of impairments, and BMPs that might be employed to improve water quality. This section described outreach activities engaging local stakeholders in the TMDL implementation plan preparation process, including the number of attendees, meeting dates, and major findings, and recommendations. Based on information researched and used in the Plan Status Report, provide any additional information to update this plan. If applicable, provide recommendations for future stakeholder activities. There has not been any stakeholder activity since the 2004 Implementation Plan was completed. A complete list of stakeholders is available in the 2004 plan. Future stakeholder meetings are suggested should Pataula Creek undergo an extended revision or a more extensive plan. VI. MANAGEMENT MEASURES AND ACTIVITIES In the existing TMDL Implementation Plan, this section provided a review of any management measures or activities that have been put into place or will be put into place including: regulatory or voluntary actions; other controls by governments; or individuals that specifically apply to the pollutant that will help achieve water quality standards. Based on information researched and used in the Plan Status Report, provide any additional information to update this plan. If applicable, provide recommendations for additional management measures and activities including who will be responsible for the measure, how it will be funded, the status, the date it will be or was initiated, and a short description of how effective the measure is or will be.

(If Yes, Explain / Support) Yes No X_ There has not been any water quality monitoring data for this segment since In EPDs Total Maximum Daily Load Evaluation for Thirty-One Stream Segments in the Chattahoochee River Basin For Sediment (Biota Impacted) written in January 2003, Pataula Creek needed only 8% reduction of sediment. It is unknown at this time what the load is and therefore monitoring needs to be conducted. After a new sediment load has been established, a course of action can then be taken where a new strategy can be established. 18
