DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Small Renewable Energy (Water Related) Permit By Rule Regulation, 9VAC15-80

Pursuant to the Small Renewable Energy Projects Act of 2009 (§ 10.1-1197.5 et seq., of the Code of Virginia), the department is directed to develop one or more permits by rule "if it is determined by the department that one or more such permits by rule are necessary for the construction and operation of small renewable energy projects." The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) filed a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action (NOIRA) for each renewable energy resource (or group of related resources).

The Water Related Regulatory Advisory Panel (RAP) was established in September 2011 to consider a potential permit by rule (PBR) regulation for the water related renewable resources that are listed in the 2009 statute; i.e., falling water, wave motion, tides, and geothermal power.

After careful consideration of the issues, it was the consensus recommendation of the Water Related RAP that it is not necessary or appropriate, under current conditions, for DEQ to develop a PBR regulation for renewable energy projects that generate electricity from falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power. The RAP further recommended that DEQ reevaluate the potential need for a PBR regulation concerning these water related renewable energy resources in 2014, or sooner if circumstances or public requests so indicate.

The department, with concurrence of the RAP, determined that it would be appropriate to conduct a 30-day informal public comment period concerning the RAP's recommendations.

The informal public comment period ended on November 28, 2011, and no comments were received.

On December 2, 2011, the Director of DEQ determined that it is not necessary or appropriate, under current conditions, for DEQ to develop a PBR regulation for renewable energy projects that generate electricity from falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power. Further, the director decided that DEQ will reevaluate the potential need for a PBR regulation concerning these water related renewable energy resources in 2014, or sooner if circumstances or public requests so indicate.

The full documentation for the basis of the director's actions can be found at www.deq.virginia.gove/renewable_energy/water_related.html.

Total Maximum Daily Load Studies to Restore Water Quality in Bacteria Impaired Waters of Powells Creek, Quantico Creek, South Fork Quantico Creek, North Branch Chopawamsic Creek, Austin Run, Accokeek Creek, Potomac Creek, Potomac Run, and an Unnamed Tributary to the Potomac River

Purpose of notice: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) announce the final Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting to address the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLS) for several tributaries to the Potomac River.

The meeting is scheduled on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., at John M. Porter Memorial Library, Meeting Room B, 2001 Parkway Blvd., Stafford, VA 22554. In case of inclement weather please contact Katie Conaway for an alternate meeting date/time, email katie.conaway@deq.virginia.gov, or telephone (703) 583-3804.

Meeting description: This is the final TAC meeting to address the bacteria TMDL studies for Powells Creek, Quantico Creek, South Fork Quantico Creek, North Branch Chopawamsic Creek, Austin Run, Accokeek Creek, Potomac Creek, Potomac Run, and an Unnamed Tributary to the Potomac River. The purpose of the TAC is to provide technical input and insight for the project and to assist with stakeholder and public participation.

Description of study: Portions of the following streams have been identified as impaired on the Clean Water Act § 303(d) list for not supporting Virginia's water quality recreational use standard due to exceedances of the bacteria criterion:

Virginia agencies are working to identify sources of bacteria contamination in these stream segments. During this study, DEQ will develop a total maximum daily load, or a TMDL, for each of the impaired stream segments. A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant a water body can receive and still meet water quality standards. To restore water quality, pollutant levels have to be reduced to the TMDL allocated amount.

How to comment: The public comment period on the materials presented at the TAC meeting will extend from January 4, 2012, to February 3, 2012. DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, or postal mail. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Please send all comments to the contact listed below.
