Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Department of Environmental Quality intends to consider promulgating the following regulation: 9VAC15-70, Small Renewable Energy Projects (Combustion) Permit by Rule Regulation.

In this regulatory action, DEQ will determine what requirements, if any, must be met for small combustion renewable energy projects; that is, projects generating electricity from biomass, energy from waste, or municipal solid waste.

Regulatory Panel: The department plans to use a Regulatory Advisory Panel (RAP) to help develop a proposal. Persons interested in assisting in the development of a proposal should notify the agency contact by March 15, 2011, and provide their name, address, phone number, email address, and the organization they represent (if any). The primary function of the panel will be to develop recommended regulation provisions for DEQ consideration through the collaborative approach of regulatory negotiation and consensus. The Director of DEQ will select RAP members from the list of persons who have expressed interest in serving. Multiple applications from a single company, organization, group, or other entity count as one for purposes of making the decision specified in the preceding sentence. Notification of the composition of the panel will be sent to all applicants.

Note: The first meeting of the Combustion Regulatory Advisory Panel will be held on Tuesday, April 12, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. at DEQ's Piedmont Regional Office, 4949-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060.

Notice is hereby given that the Virginia Waste Management Board has WITHDRAWN the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action for 9VAC20-85, Coal Combustion Byproduct Regulations, that was published in 25:20 VA.R. 3474 June 8, 2009.

Notice is hereby given that the State Board of Health has WITHDRAWN the Notice of Intended Regulatory Action for 12VAC5-160, Regulations for the Sanitary Control of the Picking, Packing and Marketing of Crab Meat for Human Consumption, and 12VAC5-165, Regulations for the Repacking of Crab Meat, which was published in 24:20 VA.R. 2835 June 9, 2008.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Board of Health intends to consider amending the following regulation: 12VAC5-165, Regulations for the Repacking of Crabmeat. The regulations pertain to the practice of transferring crab meat from the container of one establishment, as the term is defined in § 28.2-800 in the Code of Virginia, into the container of an establishment certified by the Division of Shellfish Sanitation to repack crab meat. These regulations were developed in 2000 to address a situation where one Virginia-certified crab meat dealer would purchase crab meat packed by another certified crab meat dealer, whether of a domestic or foreign origin, and repack the meat into a container. Most crab meat shipped into the United States now originates from a multitude of different processing facilities but is shipped in one cargo container by one exporter to the U.S. The one-on-one relationship between the original processing plant and the Virginia-certified dealer no longer exists in most instances. Several of the requirements that depended upon this relationship cannot be reliably met. The State Board of Health seeks to revise the regulations to reflect this change in order to assure the safety of crab meat repacked in Virginia.

The agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Board of Health intends to consider amending the following regulation: 12VAC5-460, Regulations Governing Tourist Establishment Swimming Pools and Other Public Pools. The purpose of the proposed action is to revise the regulations, which have not been amended since 1962, to bring them up to date with technology and accepted swimming pool design. Several of the sections of the regulations are likely in conflict with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code and, as such, the board intends to delete them. The board seeks to thoroughly amend and eliminate unnecessary provisions of the regulations; in doing so, the board will seek participation from the swimming pool industry and the Department of Housing and Community Development.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Board of Health intends to consider amending the following regulation: 12VAC5-462, Swimming Pool Regulations Governing the Posting of Water Quality Results.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the State Board of Health intends to consider amending the following regulation: 12VAC5-640, Alternative Discharging Sewage Treatment Regulations for Individual Single Family Dwellings.

These regulations operate in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality's (DEQ) General Permit for Sewage Discharges Less Than or Equal to 1,000 Gallons Per Day (9VAC25-110). The State Board of Health's regulations provide details on applications, construction standards and monitoring requirements, as well as administrative procedures for hearings, variances, etc. The board has not updated these regulations since July 30, 1992. The technological and regulatory landscape has changed considerably since that time.
