Proposed Renewal of Variances to 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 IV Variances (12VAC35-115-220) of the 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 the following application for renewal of existing variances to the Human Rights Regulations that are presently before the State Human Rights Committee (SHRC) for consideration. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure and protect the legal and human rights of individuals receiving services in facilities or programs licensed, funded, or operated by DBHDS.

After considering all available information, including comments, the SHRC will issue a written decision deferring, disapproving, modifying, or approving each renewal application. The decision and reasons behind it will be published in a later issue of the Virginia Register of Regulations.

Purpose of notice: DBHDS is seeking comment on the applications for renewal of the following existing variances to the Human Rights Regulations at the DBHDS Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation (VCBR). The variance applications for renewal demonstrate compliance with the general requirements of Part IV Variances (12VAC35-115-220) of the Human Rights Regulations.

Variance to complaint procedure:

The Human Rights Regulations provide a comprehensive complaint resolution process that includes access to a local human rights committee (LHRC) and the SHRC, articulated in the regulation sections specified below:

• 12VAC35-115-150: General Provisions

• 12VAC35-115-170: Formal Complaint Process

• 12VAC35-115-180: Local Human Rights Committee Hearing and Review Procedures

• 12VAC35-115-190: Special Procedures for Emergency Hearing by LHRC

• 12VAC35-115-200: Special Procedures for LHRC Reviews Involving Consent and Authorization

• 12VAC35-115-210: State Human Rights Committee Appeals Procedure

VCBR Facility Instruction No. 202, Resident Complaint Resolution, provides alternative procedures for addressing resident complaints to be followed in lieu of those specified in the above regulatory sections. VCBR's variances to these regulations are reviewed by the SHRC at least annually, with VCBR providing reports to the SHRC regarding the variances as requested.

Variance for rooms within medical unit with no windows:

VCBR has four bedrooms in its medical unit that do not meet the requirement of the italicized portion of the following regulation:

• 12VAC35-115-50 C 3 (d): Live in a humane, safe, sanitary environment that gives each individual, at a minimum, windows or skylights in all major areas used by individuals.

VCBR requests a variance to this regulation to enable it to utilize these bedrooms if a bedroom that meets the requirement is not available on a unit that meets an individual's needs. VCBR currently provides a monthly report to the SHRC on how many times rooms with no windows within the medical unit of VCBR are used during the previous month and will continue to do so.

Variance for double-bunking:

Following the mandate by the General Assembly (Chapter 806 of the 2011 Acts of Assembly), VCBR implemented double-bunking (two individuals residing in a single room). Although VCBR has attempted to maintain residents' privacy and a physical environment free from bad odors, this is not always possible. For this reason, VCBR requests a variance to the regulations listed below:

12VAC35-115-50 C 3 (a) and (e):

a) Reasonable privacy and private storage space

e) Clean air, free of bad odors

VCBR Facility Instruction No. 124, Resident Housing Assignment, describes how residents' housing assignments are determined and shall substitute for these regulations. VCBR provides a monthly report to the SHRC on how many residents are double-bunked, complaints received by residents regarding double-bunking, and any medication sessions treatment staff hold with roommates to resolve concerns related to double-bunking.

Public comment period: December 25, 2017, through January 25, 2018.

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.

For more information, please contact Rachel Hamm, telephone (757) 518-2024 or email rachel.hamm@deq.virginia.gov.

Purpose of meeting: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and its contractors, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, have developed a draft water quality report on the bacteria impairments in the Rudee Inlet watershed located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A public meeting will be held to introduce the local community to the total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for bacteria and gather public comment on the draft report. A public comment period on the draft TMDL report will follow the meeting (January 11, 2018, through February 9, 2018).

Description of study: Portions of the Rudee Inlet watershed including Lake Rudee, Lake Wesley, and Owl Creek were identified in Virginia's 2014 Water Quality Assessment and Integrated Report as impaired due to violations of the State's water quality standards for Enterococci and Fecal Coliform and do not support the Designated Uses of "Primary Contact (recreational or swimming)" and "Shellfishing." Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. Reductions and TMDLs for the causes of the impairments have been developed and are available for community review in the TMDL report located online at the following link on January 10, 2018: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

How to comment and participate: The meetings of the TMDL process are open to the public and all interested parties are welcome. Written comments will be accepted through February 9, 2018, and should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.

Total Maximum Daily Load for Salt Management Strategy

Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and its contractors, the Interstate Commission for the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB), will announce the development of a Salt Management Strategy (SaMS) for the Northern Virginia region, which includes Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties and the Cities of Alexandria, Manassas, Manassas Park, Falls Church, and Fairfax. This is an opportunity for local residents to learn about the impacts and challenges of snow and ice management, share information and thoughts on snow and ice management, and get involved in the process of developing a SaMS.

Public Meeting: A public meeting will be held Wednesday, January 17, 2018, beginning at 6:30 pm at the Auditorium of the Arlington County Central Library, located at 1015 N. Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22201. In case of inclement weather, the alternate meeting date will be Wednesday, January 31, 2018, and will also be held at the Auditorium of the Arlington County Central Library. Please note that if Arlington County schools or the library are closed on January 17, 2018, due to inclement weather, the meeting will be postponed to this alternate date.

Meeting description: This meeting will be open to the public and all are welcome to attend. The first 30 minutes of the meeting will be an informal informational session where members of the public are invited to visit the various displays to learn more and ask questions of the experts staffing the displays. At 7 p.m. the formal portion of the meeting will begin. During the formal portion of the meeting a guest speaker will speak about challenges related to snow and ice management, and ICPRB will speak about a report they have prepared on the impacts of salts on infrastructure, drinking water, and aquatic life. The meeting will conclude with DEQ describing the development process for the SaMS, and by informing the public how to participate in the development process. For more information, please contact Dave Evans at (703) 583-3835 or david.evans@deq.virginia.gov.

Description of study: In July 2017, DEQ completed a total maximum daily load (TMDL) study for the Accotink Creek watershed that identified chloride (salt) from snow and ice management as a contributing cause of a water quality impairment. To bring chloride loads down to acceptable levels that were identified in the TMDL report, DEQ is initiating the development of a SaMS that will among many things prescribe best management practices for more efficient and effective salt application. While the Accotink Creek watershed is located in Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax, snow and ice management practices are not confined to watershed boundaries. Therefore, the project area will include all of Northern Virginia as defined by Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties and the Cities of Alexandria, Manassas, Manassas Park, Falls Church, and Fairfax. For more information on the SaMS, visit http://www.deq.virginia.gov/SaMS.aspx.

How to comment and participate: This meeting is open to the public and all interested parties are welcome. A public comment period will begin on January 17, 2018, and end on February 16, 2018. Comments will be accepted on the SaMS project in general, on participating in the Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) to help develop the SaMS, and on the report prepared by ICPRB on the impacts of salts on infrastructure, drinking water, and aquatic life. Persons interested in participating in the SAC that will help develop the SaMS should notify the DEQ contact person, Dave Evans, by the end of the comment period and provide their names, phone numbers, email addresses and the organizations they represent (if any). All comments must be written and submitted via e-mail or traditional mail by the end of February 16, 2018. They must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. DEQ will notify all applicants of the composition of the SAC after the close of the comment period. For more information or to submit written comments, please contact Dave Evans, Department of Environmental Quality, Northern Regional Office, 13901 Crown Court Woodbridge, VA 22193, telephone (703) 583-3835, or email david.evans@deq.virginia.gov.
