Public Notice
Environmental Permit
PURPOSE OF NOTICE: To seek public comment on a draft permit from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for the withdrawal of ground water in Middlesex County, Virginia.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: May 21, 2026 to June 22, 2026.
PERMIT NAME: Ground Water Withdrawal Permit issued by DEQ pursuant to applicable water laws and regulations.
APPLICANT NAME, ADDRESS AND PERMIT NUMBER: Town of Urbanna; P.O. Box 179, Urbanna, VAÂ 23175; GWI000538.
NAME AND LOCATION OF WATER WITHDRAWAL: Town of Urbanna; 138 Laurel Hill Drive, Urbanna, VA 23175.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Town of Urbanna has applied for a reissuance of a permit for the Town of Urbanna Community Water System. The permit would authorize the applicant to withdraw a maximum of 41,500,000 gallons per year and 5,600,000 gallons per month from the Potomac aquifer. The ground water withdrawal will support a municipal public water supply for the Town of Urbanna. The top of the Potomac aquifer at the proposed withdrawal site was determined to be 605 feet below land surface. An aquifer is a body of rock or layer of sediment in the ground in which ground water is stored and transported. DEQ has made a tentative decision to issue the permit. The draft permit can be viewed at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/news-info/shortcuts/public-notices/water/water-withdrawal.
AFFECTED AREA: The radial distance from the wells to where computer modeling predicts the aquifer may experience one foot of drawdown due to the withdrawal is illustrated on a map that can be viewed in the draft permit linked above.

All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period.

A public hearing may be held, including another comment period, if public response is significant, based on individual requests for a public hearing, and there are substantial, disputed issues relevant to the permit.Â
