Availability of and Public Comment on Virginia's Draft Phase III Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan

The Office of the Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources, through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), announces the release of Virginia's Draft Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan for meeting the Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load (the Draft Phase III WIP) for public review and comment.

The public comment period is now open and will end June 7, 2019. The draft can be found on DEQ's Phase III WIP website at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/ChesapeakeBay/ChesapeakeBayTMDL/PhaseIIIWatershedImplementationPlanning.aspx.

The department invites review and recommendations during the comment period by all stakeholders and the general public. Through the public's collective input, the department anticipates building an even stronger final Phase III WIP. All comments received on or before June 7, 2019, will be considered. A comment-response document summarizing all comments and responses will be compiled by DEQ, on behalf of the Office of the Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources, and will be available on DEQ's Phase III WIP website at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/ChesapeakeBay/ChesapeakeBayTMDL/PhaseIIIWatershedImplementationPlanning.aspx.

Development of Virginia's Draft Phase III WIP has been guided by Governor Northam's goals for his administration:

• To achieve the state basin planning targets while accounting for future growth and the impacts of climate change and to do so no later than December 31, 2025;

• To engage and seek guidance from partners, including local governments, planning district or regional commissions (PDCs), and soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) through a local area planning effort;

• To develop a plan that is resilient, practical, cost-effective, and provides for multiple benefits; and

• To adhere to expectations established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Chesapeake Bay Program Partners, particularly those regarding reasonable assurance.

Achieving Virginia's 2017 reduction targets for nitrogen and phosphorus through successful implementation of the Phase I and Phase II WIPs demonstrates clearly that the goal of fully achieving Virginia's state basin planning targets is within reach. Yet, restoring the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries will require significant action by federal, state, and local governments; wastewater utilities; farmers and the agriculture and forestry industries; landowners and homeowners; lawn care companies; the general public; and many more.

The building blocks of the department's Draft Phase III WIP include new state initiatives as well as existing federal, state, and local programs and detailed local area plans provided by planning district commissions and soil and water conservation districts.

WIP Webinar: A webinar will be held on May 13, 2019, at 9 a.m., and repeated at 6 p.m., to share information about the Draft Phase III WIP. The webinar will provide an overview of the plan and provide information about the comment submittal process. During the webinar, the public is invited to ask questions, which will be answered in the order they are received as time allows. All questions will be compiled and addressed in a frequently asked questions document that will be available with the final WIP. The webinar will be recorded and available for future viewing on DEQ's Phase III WIP website at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/ChesapeakeBay/
ChesapeakeBayTMDL/PhaseIIIWatershedImplementationPlanning.aspx.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Department of Environmental Quality conducted a small business impact review of 9VAC15-40, Small Renewable Energy Projects (Wind) Permit by Rule, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Department of Environmental Quality is publishing its report of findings dated March 12, 2019, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

The regulation is needed to provide a permitting process for wind energy projects that is also protective of human health and the environment. Comments were received during the public comment period. None of the comments submitted indicated the regulation is burdensome on small businesses. The regulation details the permitting process, and a wind energy project is deemed to operate under the permit by rule provision if it meets the requirements of the regulation. Other permits may be required for the wind energy project. This regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or regulations.

This regulation was adopted in 2010 and amended in 2013, 2015, and 2017. Since initial adoption, the regulation has been amended to maintain consistency with other regulations pertaining to permits by rule developed for solar and combustion projects designed with a rated capacity not exceeding 150 megawatts. The regulation was also amended in 2017 to increase the size of a small renewable wind energy project from 100 megawatts to 150 megawatts allowing potentially more projects to be permitted by a permit by rule.

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the State Water Control Board conducted a small business impact review of 9VAC25-91, Facility and Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) Regulation, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The State Water Control Board is publishing its report of findings dated February 27, 2019, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

This regulation is required by § 62.1-44.34:15.1 of the Code of Virginia, and the regulation continues to be needed. The regulation establishes requirements for registration of facilities and individual ASTs, includes standards and procedures for operators of certain facilities relating to pollution prevention, and provides requirements for oil discharge contingency plans. No public comments were received during the public comment period. The regulation contains industry practices and standards that are technical in nature; however the regulated community is familiar with the requirements.

There is no direct mandate for aboveground storage tank regulations in federal law; however, federal regulations (such as 40 CFR Part 112 (Oil Pollution Prevention) and 29 CFR 1910.106 (Occupational Safety and Health Regulations) and industry standards (such as API 653 and API 570) contain a number of requirements related to AST construction and operation. Many of those federal requirements are similar in their purpose or effect to the requirements envisioned by the state's Pollution Prevention Law and Oil Discharge Contingency Plan mandates. Every attempt has been made to make the requirements of the state's aboveground storage tank regulations consistent with requirements already contained in those federal regulations and industry standards. This regulation was last adopted in 2015. This regulation is necessary for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare, and the regulation will be retained.

Public Meeting and Public Comment Opportunity for a Watershed Plan for North Fork Catoctin Creek in Loudoun County

Public meeting: A public meeting to present the draft total maximum daily load (TMDL) and watershed management plan will be held on Monday, May 13, 2019, from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the Robey Meeting Room at the Purcellville Library, 220 East Main Street, Purcellville, VA 20132. The plan contains a sediment TMDL and implementation strategies to address the general standard (benthics) impairment on North Fork Catoctin Creek.

Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will present and discuss with community members the draft TMDL and watershed management plan. The plan contains a sediment TMDL and implementation strategies with the goal of restoring the aquatic community of the stream. Identified in the plan are (i) sources of sediment, (ii) reductions to meet the TMDL for the impaired water, and (iii) strategies to meet those reductions. There will be a 30-day public comment period for interested stakeholders to comment on the draft plan. Written comments will be accepted from May 14, 2019, to June 14, 2019. Directions for how to submit a comment are listed. Throughout the 30-day public comment period, the draft plan can be found at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

Description of study: Portions of the North Fork Catoctin Creek, in Loudoun County, do not have a healthy and diverse community of macroinvertebrates and subsequently do not meet the "aquatic life" water quality standard. The two stream segments, identified in the table, are listed on the § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of Virginia's water quality standards for the general standard (benthics). 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. A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant a waterbody can contain and still meet water quality standards.

How to comment and participate: This meeting is open to the public and all interested parties are welcome. A public comment period on the TMDL and watershed management plan will begin on May 14, 2019, and end June 14, 2019. All comments must be written and submitted via email or postal mail by 11:59 p.m. on June 14, 2019. Comments must include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. Please submit written comments to Sarah Sivers, Department of Environmental Quality, Northern Regional Office, 13901 Crown Court, Woodbridge, VA 22193, telephone (703) 583-3898, or email sarah.sivers@deq.virginia.gov.

For more information on this study, please contact Sarah Sivers via phone, email, or postal mail using the listed information. All materials related to this project have been posted on the DEQ website under the "North Fork Catoctin Creek" section of the webpage located at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DocumentationforSelectTMDLs.aspx.

Public Meeting and Public Comment Opportunity for a Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plan for Woods Creek

Public meeting: A public meeting will be held May 8, 2019, at 6 p.m. at the Rockbridge Regional Library, Piovano Room, 138 South Main Street, Lexington, VA 24450.

Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan for the Woods Creek watershed in Rockbridge County and the City of Lexington.

Meeting description: DEQ and its contractor, Virginia Tech's Biological Systems Engineering Department, will present a draft water quality improvement plan, known as a TMDL implementation plan, for Woods Creek and its tributaries. This is an opportunity for local residents to learn about the condition of the creek and provide input on the draft plan. A public comment period will follow the meeting from May 9, 2019, through June 10, 2019.

In case of inclement weather, the meeting will be held at the same time and location on May 14, 2019, and the public comment period will be extended accordingly.

Background information: A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant a waterbody can contain and still meet water quality standards. 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. Woods Creek was listed on the § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of Virginia's water quality standards for bacteria for recreational use. DEQ completed the bacteria TMDL study for Woods Creek in 2017. The Woods Creek TMDL was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in February 2018. Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires expeditious implementation of TMDLs when appropriate. To restore water quality, bacteria levels need to be reduced to the amount established in the TMDL. The TMDL implementation plan should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The TMDL implementation plan should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. Over the last eight months, DEQ has collaborated with local stakeholders to develop a draft TMDL implementation plan that meets these criteria.

How to comment and participate: All meetings in support of TMDL implementation plan development are open to the public and all interested parties are welcome. Written comments will be accepted through June 10, 2019, and should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.  For more information, or to submit written comments, please contact Sara Bottenfield, Department of Environmental Quality, Valley Regional Office, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonbug, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7872, FAX (540) 574-7878, or email sara.bottenfield@deq.virginia.gov.
