Application for No Discharge Zones within Gloucester County

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 two federal no discharge zones (NDZs) and is seeking public comment on the draft application.

Public meeting: Wednesday, July 27, 2016, 6 p.m. at the Abingdon Elementary School, in library room B103, 7087 Powhatan Drive, Hayes, VA 23072.

Meeting description: To provide a summary of a draft application for designation of selected waterbodies within Gloucester County (Sarah Creek and Perrin River) as federal no discharge zones (NDZs). The NDZ designation would prohibit the overboard discharge of treated sewage effluent from marine sanitation devices (MSDs) in these waterways.

Description of study: Section 62.1-44.33of the Code of Virginia resolves that all tidal creeks in Virginia be designated federal no discharge zones premised on the improvement of impaired tidal creeks and directs the 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 state and is contingent on the state demonstrating (1) the need for enhanced protection of water quality, (2) the availability of sufficient local alternatives to overboard discharge (i.e., pump-outs), and (3) 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 Go Green Committee of Gloucester County has partnered with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science to conduct an analysis of boat usage and pump-out availability for Sarah Creek and Perrin River in Gloucester 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 at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/NoDischargeZoneDesignations.aspx 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 Thursday, July 28, 2016, by email 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 Friday, August 26, 2016.

Contact for additional information and send comments to: Anne Schlegel, TMDL Coordinator, Department of Environmental Quality, Central Office, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone (804) 698-4046, or email anne.schlegel@deq.virginia.gov.

Revised Notice dated June 15, 2016

The Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) hereby affords the public notice of its intention to amend the Virginia State Plan for Medical Assistance to provide for changes to the Amount, Duration, and Scope of Medical and Remedial Care Services (12VAC30-50); Methods and Standards for Establishing Payment Rates - Inpatient Hospital Services (12VAC30-70); Methods and Standards for Establishing Payment Rates; Other Types of Care (12VAC30-80); and Methods and Standards for Establishing Payment Rates for Long-Term Care (12VAC30-90).

DMAS is specifically soliciting input from stakeholders, providers, and beneficiaries, on the potential impact of the proposed reduction in the hospital inflation adjustment on beneficiary access to care. Comments or inquiries may be submitted, in writing, within 30 days of this notice publication to Mr. Lessard and such comments are available for review at the same address. Comments may also be submitted, in writing, on the Town Hall public comment forum attached to this notice at http://townhall.virginia.gov/L/Email_Notice.cfm?GNid=606&CFID=24385644&CFTOKEN=4dabe0a4218fb3ac-504D2605-EA48-541B-F92DE31D6CF24206.

This notice is available for public review on the Regulatory Town Hall (www.townhall.virginia.gov), on the General Notices page, found at: https://townhall.virginia.gov/L/generalnotice.cfm.

DMAS is making these changes in its methods and standards for setting payment rates for services in order to comply with the legislative mandates set forth in the Item 306 of Chapter 780 of the 2016 Acts of Assembly.

Reimbursement Changes Affecting Hospitals (12VAC30-70)

12VAC30-70-351 is being amended to reduce fiscal year (FY) 2017 inflation by 50% for inpatient and outpatient hospital operating (including freestanding psychiatric and long stay hospitals), graduate medical education (GME) and indirect medical education (IME) payments, disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments and outpatient hospital rates with the exception of 100% of inflation for inpatient and outpatient hospital operating, GME, and IME payments for Children's Hospital of King's Daughters.

The expected decrease in annual aggregate expenditures is $13,895,790.

12VAC30-70-221 and 12VAC30-70-381 are being amended to change the methodology for costing claims used to rebase weights from a fee-for-service global cost-to-charge methodology to a methodology that uses per diems and cost-to-charge ratios by cost center for the fee-for-service and managed care claims, effective July 1, 2016. In a similar fashion, each hospital's total costs by claim using this methodology will be divided by the total charges for the hospital cost-to-charge ratio.

The expected increase in annual aggregate expenditures is $0.

12VAC30-70-281 is being amended to create GME supplemental payments for new primary care and high-need specialty residencies, effective July 1, 2017.

The expected increase in annual aggregate expenditures is $2,500,000.

Reimbursement Changes Affecting Other Providers (12VAC30-80)

12VAC30-80-32 is being amended to increase rates for existing substance use disorder services and add rates for new substance use disorder services, effective April 1, 2017, and peer support services, effective January 1, 2017.

The expected annual increase in expenditures for the rate increase is $1,460,647, and the expected annual increase for expenditures for new services is $2,871,908. Administrative expenses of the program are expected to be $872,269 for a total annual aggregate increase of $5,204,824.

12VAC30-80-30 is being amended to implement a supplemental payment for Children's National Health System physicians, effective July 1, 2016. The total supplemental Medicaid payment shall be based on the upper payment limit approved by CMS and all other Virginia Medicaid fee-for-service payments but not to exceed $551,000.

The expected increase in annual aggregate expenditures is $551,000.

Reimbursement Changes Affecting Nursing Facilities (12VAC30-90)

12VAC30-90-264 is being amended to convert the specialized care rate methodology to a fully prospective state fiscal year rate, effective July 1, 2016. This would be accomplished consistent with the existing cost-based methodology by adding inflation to the per diem costs subject to existing ceilings for direct, indirect and ancillary costs from the most recent settled cost report prior to the state fiscal year for which the rates are being established. The same inflation adjustment shall apply to plant costs for specialized care facilities that do not have prospective capital rates that are based on fair rental value. The department shall use the state fiscal year inflation rate recently adopted for regular nursing facilities. Partial year inflation shall be applied to per diem costs if the provider fiscal year end is different than the state fiscal year. Ceilings shall also be maintained by state fiscal year.

The expected increase in annual aggregate expenditures is $0.

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the McClure River, Big Spraddle Branch, Buffalo Creek, and Roaring Fork in Dickenson County. These streams are listed on the 2012 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standards for bacteria.

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the State Water Control Law requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report.

The impaired segments include: 21.76 miles of the McClure River from the headwaters downstream to the Road Branch confluence near Steinman; 2.31 miles of Big Spraddle Branch, a tributary to the McClure River west of Stratton; 3.25 miles of Buffalo Creek, a tributary to the McClure River north of Nora; 1.08 miles of Roaring Fork, a tributary to the McClure River upstream of Nora.

The first public meeting on the development of the TMDL to address the bacteria impairments for these segments will be held on July 14, 2016, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the McClure Kiwanis Building located at the intersection of State Route 63 (Dante Mountain Road) and State Route 773 (Herndon Road) in the McClure Community, Dickenson County, Virginia.

The public comment period will begin July 14, 2016, and end August 15, 2015.

An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL may be established. Any person interested in assisting should notify the DEQ contact person by the end of the comment period and provide name, address, phone number, email address, and the organization being represented (if any). Notification of the composition of the panel will be sent to all applicants.

A component of a TMDL is the wasteload allocations (WLAs); therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Code of Virginia for any future adoption of the TMDLs associated WLAs. Information on the development of the TMDLs for these impairments is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to Martha Chapman. All written comments should include name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to DEQ contact person Martha Chapman, Department of Environmental Quality, Southwest Regional Office, 355-A Deadmore Street, Abingdon, VA 24210, telephone (276) 676-4800, or email martha.chapman@deq.virginia.gov.
