DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES

Proposed Variances to the Rules and Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115)

Notice of action: The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS), in accordance with Part VI, Variances (12VAC35-115-220), of the Rules and Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115), hereafter referred to as the "Human Rights Regulations," is announcing an opportunity for public comment on applications for proposed variances to the Human Rights Regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure and protect the legal and human rights of individuals receiving services in facilities or programs operated, licensed or funded by DBHDS.

Each variance application references the specific part of these regulations to which a variance is needed, the proposed wording of the substitute rule or procedure, and the justification for a variance. Such application also describes time limits and other conditions for duration and the circumstances that will end the applicability of the variance. After considering all available information including comments, DBHDS intends to submit a written decision deferring, disapproving, modifying, or approving each variance renewal application. All variances shall be approved for a specific time period. The decision and reasons for variance will be published in a later issue of the Virginia Register of Regulations.

A. DBHDS is seeking comment on the application for new proposed variances to the Human Rights Regulations for DBHDS' Western State Hospital (WSH).

1. Variance to procedures for behavioral treatment plans, 12VAC35-115-105 H: Providers shall not use seclusion in a behavioral treatment plan.

2. Variance to procedures for behavioral treatment plans and use of seclusion, restraint, and time out, 12VAC35-115-110 C 3: Only residential facilities for children that are licensed under the Regulations for Children's Residential Facilities (12VAC35-46) and inpatient hospitals may use seclusion and only in an emergency.

Explanation: The requested variances will allow WSH to place an individual in an environment of seclusion, at the individual's request, and not as related to an emergency, in order to prevent self-injurious harm to the individual and to the staff members responsible for the individual's care.

B. DBHDS is seeking comment on this existing variance to the Human Rights Regulations (approved March 4, 2016) at DBHDS' Central State Hospital (CSH). The proposed revisions consist of updated regulatory references due to permanent revisions to the Human Rights Regulations (effective February 9, 2017), and administrative updates to the composition of the Maximum Security Appeals Committee.

1. Update regulatory references. The application clarifies that the following sections have been repealed from the Human Rights Regulations and replaced by new 12VAC35-115-175:

• 12VAC35-115-50 D 3 e (5): Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation

• 12VAC35-115-60 B 1 d

• 12VAC35-115-140 A 2, A 4

• 12VAC35-115-170: Formal Complaint Process.

Change of membership of the appeals committee. 12VAC35-115-150: General Provisions: The two proposed changes to the membership of the committee are the addition of the Vice Chair of the State Human Rights Committee (SHRC), and the removal of the DBHDS Assistant Commissioner for Forensic Services.

Explanation: This existing variance bypasses the formal fact-finding process before the local human rights committee and instead, funnels the formal complaint resolution process for patients in the maximum security forensic units only, to review by a Maximum Security Appeals Committee. Specifically, due to an administrative decision to increase the objectivity of the committee, the proposed amendments are:

• A resident who has followed the procedures of CSH RTS-01d Patient and Family Complaint Resolution, and is not satisfied with the CSH Director's response may appeal the decision to the CSH Maximum Security Appeals Committee.

• The CSH Maximum Security Appeals Committee consists of the Chairperson and Vice Chair of the State Human Rights Committee, and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) Director of Human Rights, and the DBHDS Assistant Commissioner for Forensic Services.

• The CSH Maximum Security Appeals Committee shall review the appeal and provide a written response within 21 days. If the complaint is determined by the Appeals Committee to be a founded complaint, the response, which includes recommendations outlining how the complaint should be resolved, shall be forwarded to the director for resolution. A copy shall be sent to the human rights advocate. This is the final level of appeal.

Variances to these regulations by the state facilities listed above are reviewed by the SHRC at least annually, with reports to the SHRC regarding the variances as requested.

Public comment period: August 21, 2017, through September 21, 2017.

Description of proposal: The proposed variance applications for renewal must comply with the general requirements of Part VI, Variances (12VAC35-115-220), of the Human Rights Regulations.

How to comment: DBHDS 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 DBHDS by the last day of the comment period. All information received is part of the public record.

To review a proposal: Variance applications and any supporting documentation may be obtained by contacting the DBHDS representative named below.

STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD

Total Maximum Daily Load for Birch Creek and Dan River Watersheds

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the draft total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan (IP) for the Birch Creek and Dan River watersheds in Halifax and Pittsylvania Counties and the City of Danville. These streams were listed as impaired on the Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria. The following are the names of the bacteria impaired streams and the length of the impaired segments: Cascade Creek, 11.79 miles; Tanyard Creek, 2.85 miles; Sugartree Creek, 6.96 miles; Stewart Creek, 7.34 miles; Pumpkin Creek, 4.28 miles; Cane Creek, 12.25 miles; Lawless Creek, 4.71 miles; Big Toby Creek, 7.56 miles; Powells Creek, 4.63 miles; Sandy Creek, 9.41 miles; upper tributary-Birch Creek, 5.35 miles; Germy Creek, 5.36 miles; Lawsons Creek, 8.26 and 7.27 miles; Miry Creek, 1.11 miles; Stokes Creek, 6.35 miles; Sandy River, 7.22 miles; Sandy Creek, 9.48 miles; Dan River, 35.06 miles; Fall Creek, 11.97 miles; Double Creek, 8.88 miles; Byrds Branch, 3.76 miles.

The Birch Creek TMDL study was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2004 and by the State Water Control Board in 2005, and can be found in the Bacteria TMDL for Birch Creek Watershed, Virginia report (available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/roankrvr/birchfc.pdf.) The Dan River TMDL was approved by EPA in 2008 and approved by the State Water Control Board in 2009, and can be found in the Bacteria TMDL Development for the Dan River, Blackberry Creek, Byrds Branch, Double Creek, Fall Creek, Leatherwood Creek, Marrowbone Creek, North Fork Mayo River, South Fork Mayo River, Smith River, Sandy Creek, and Sandy River Watersheds report (available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/apptmdls/roankrvr/danec.pdf.) The Henry County and Patrick County portions of the Dan River TMDL Watershed were included in the South Mayo River, North Mayo River, Blackberry Creek, Marrowbone Creek, Leatherwood Creek and Smith River Watershed Implementation Plan (2013) (available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Portals/0/DEQ/Water/TMDL/ImplementationPlans/SmithMayo_Technical_Report_FINAL.pdf.)

Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an IP for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. The draft TMDL Implementation Plan and meeting documents are available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLImplementation/TMDLImplementationProgress.aspx.

A public meeting will be held to discuss the draft implementation plan for the Birch Creek and Dan River watersheds. At this meeting, the process by which the implementation plan was developed to restore water quality in the watersheds will be discussed, and citizens will learn how they can be part of the water quality improvement process.

The public meeting will be held from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. on August 29, 2017, at the Danville Regional Airport, East Conference Room, 424 Airport Drive, Danville, VA 24540. In the event of severe weather, the public meeting will occur on August 31, 2017, at the same time and location.
