Public Comment Period - Proposed State Implementation Plan Revision

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. The Commonwealth intends to submit the regulation to the EPA as a revision to the SIP in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act.

Regulations affected: The regulations of the board affected by this action are as follows: 9VAC5-20-21, Documents Incorporated by Reference, and 9VAC5-30, Ambient Air Quality Standards (Revision H10).

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether the regulation amendments should be submitted as a revision to the SIP.

Public comment period: June 6, 2011, to July 7, 2011.

Public hearing: A public hearing may be conducted if a request is made in writing to the contact listed below. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice, and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.

Public comment stage: The regulation amendments are exempt from the state administrative procedures for adoption of regulations contained in Article 2 of the Administrative Process Act by the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 4 c of the Administrative Process Act because they are necessary to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act and do not differ materially from the pertinent EPA regulations. Since the amendments are exempt from administrative procedures for the adoption of regulations, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issue cited in this notice under "purpose of notice" and not on the content of the regulation amendments.

Description of proposal: In essence, the proposed revision will consist of amendments to existing regulation provisions concerning the ambient air quality standard for sulfur oxides. The major provisions of the proposal are: (i) Appendix A-1 to 40 CFR Part 50 has been added to the federal documents incorporated by reference list; (ii) Appendix A to 40 CFR Part 50 has been renamed as Appendix A-2 in the federal documents incorporated by reference list; (iii) Appendix T to 40 CFR Part 50 has been added to the federal documents incorporated by reference list; (iv) a new ambient air quality standard for SO₂ has been added to 9VAC5-30-30 A; (v) provision has been made for the existing primary standards to no longer apply to an area in 9VAC5-30-30 A; (vi) use of the reference methods in Appendices A-1 and A-2 to 40 CFR Part 50 has been specified in 9VAC5-30-30 C; and (vii) data requirements for demonstrating attainment of the new standard have been added as 9VAC5-30-30 D.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102) and not any provision of state law. The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. It is planned to submit all provisions of the proposal as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period.

Daniel Burstein will accept comments by email at daniel.burstein@deq.virginia.gov, FAX at (703) 583-3821, or postal mail at Department of Environmental Quality, Northern Regional Office, 13901 Crown Court, Woodbridge, VA 22193, from June 7, 2011, through July 7, 2011.

Public Meeting Regarding Application for Multiple No Discharge Zones

Public meeting: Tuesday, June 14, 2011, 6 p.m., in the A.T. Johnson Alumni Museum Auditorium located at 18849 Kings Highway, Montross, VA 22520.

Purpose of notice: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing its intent to apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for multiple federal No Discharge Zones (NDZs) and is seeking public comment on the draft application.

Meeting description: To provide a summary of a draft application for designation of selected waterbodies within Westmoreland County (Bonum, Jackson, and Gardner Creeks; Ragged Point, Lower Machodoc, Glebe, Cabin Point, Nomini, Buckner, Poor Jack, Currioman, Cold Harbor, Popes, and Mattox Creeks; and Monroe Bay, Goldman, and Rosier Creeks) and a portion of one waterbody in King George County (Rosier Creek) as federal NDZs. The NDZ designation would prohibit the overboard discharge of treated sewage effluent from marine sanitation devices in these waterways.

Description of study: House Bill 1774 resolves that all tidal creeks in Virginia be designated federal No Discharge Zones and directs DEQ to pursue this designation. It is currently illegal to discharge raw sewage in U.S. territorial waters. In a NDZ, this ban is expanded to include sewage treated by on-board marine sanitation devices. A NDZ is determined by EPA upon application from the states and is contingent on the states' demonstrating (i) the need for enhanced protection of water quality, (ii) the availability of sufficient local alternatives to overboard discharge (i.e., pump-outs), and (iii) local stakeholder support. DEQ is seeking this designation as one component of a "pollution diet" for small tidal Chesapeake Bay tributaries, which are frequently impaired for shellfish harvest due to elevated levels of fecal bacteria. The Northern Neck Planning District Commission has conducted an analysis of boat traffic and pump-out availability for the waterbodies proposed for NDZs in Westmoreland County (and a portion of one waterbody in King George County), and DEQ has concluded that existing pump-out facilities are adequate to service estimated peak demand. A draft application to EPA for NDZ designation has been prepared and will be available for public review and comment on the DEQ website http://www.deq.virginia.gov/tmdl/ndz.html the day of or the day after the public meeting. Presentations provided at the meeting will also be available on the website.

How to comment: DEQ will accept written comments beginning Wednesday, June 15, 2011, by email, FAX, or postal mail. Comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ during the comment period, which will expire on Friday, July 15, 2011.

VIRGINIA CODE COMMISSION

Recodifying Titles of the Code of Virginia -- Public Input Requested

The Virginia Code Commission is responsible for publishing and maintaining the Code of Virginia, which contains the general and permanent statutes of the Commonwealth. In addition, it is the commission's duty to revise or recodify individual titles of the Code of Virginia as determined by the commission.

The Virginia Code Commission seeks input from law practitioners and other interested parties concerning which titles of the Code of Virginia the commission should consider placing on its future work plan for the purpose of recodification or revision. The main purposes of a title recodification are to improve the organization of the title and modernize the language. To the extent practical, the commission avoids making substantive changes to the statutory text. In the event a substantive change is made, the change is highlighted and explained in the final report.

The commission currently is completing its work on Title 64.1, Wills and Decedents' Estates, assisted by an advisory panel of practitioners experienced in this area. For a list of other recent title revisions and to view the final reports, go to the commission's website: http://codecommission.dls.virginia.gov/titlerevisions.htm.

Send recommendations to Jane Chaffin at jchaffin@dls.virginia.gov or 910 Capitol Street, General Assembly Building, 2nd Floor, Richmond, VA 23219, by July 1, 2011.
