DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION

Total Maximum Daily Loads - Ash Camp Creek and Twittys Creek

The Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of an implementation plan (IP) for benthic total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) on the following impaired stream segments - 2.36 miles of Ash Camp Creek and 7.25 miles of Twittys Creek. The impaired stream segments are located in the south central region of Virginia in Charlotte County. The impaired water bodies are tributaries to the Roanoke Creek in the Roanoke River Basin.

TMDLs of impaired segments of the Ash Camp Creek and Twittys Creek were approved by the EPA on April 26, 2004, and on September 30, 2004, respectively. Approved reports can be found on DEQ's websites at:

http://www.deq.virginia.gov/tmdl/apptmdls/roankrvr/twittybc.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 first public meeting on the development of the IP for the above impaired segments will be held on Monday, August 17, 2009, at 7 p.m. in the Charlotte County Board Room at the Charlotte County Administration Office Building located at 250 LeGrande Ave, Suite A, Charlotte Courthouse, VA 23923. After a one-hour public meeting, stakeholders will break into working group sessions to discuss agricultural and residential sources of pollutant, sediment, and begin the public participation input process for the implementation plan.

The public comment period will end on September 16, 2009. The fact sheets on the development of an IP for the above impaired segments are available upon request. Written comments and inquiries should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Dr. Ram Gupta, Department of Conservation and Recreation, 101 North 14th St., 11th Floor, James Monroe Building, Richmond, VA 23219, email address ram.gupta@dcr.virginia.gov, telephone (804) 371-0991.

Nutrient Waste Load Allocations - Petitions for Extension of Deadline for Public Comment Opportunity

Notice of action: The State Water Control Board (the board) is considering action on petitions to extend the deadline for securing a certificate to operate for footnoted nutrient waste load allocations in the Water Quality Management Planning Regulation (WQMP).

Purpose of notice: The board seeks comments through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on the petitions and the need for and impact of resulting regulatory action to extend any deadline.

Public comment period: July 24, 2009, to August 28, 2009.

Subject matter and intent of proposal: The 2009 General Assembly passed legislation (HB 1074/SB 1022) authorizing the board to adopt certain regulations relating to wastewater treatment plants. The board was directed to accept petitions through July 10, 2009, for the purpose of conducting an expedited rulemaking process involving plants with "footnoted" nutrient waste load allocations in the WQMP regulation. The footnotes provide conditional allocations that depend on the plant owner securing a Certificate to Operate (CTO) by December 31, 2010, for an expanded design flow. The petitions must be for the sole purpose of extending the deadline to no later than December 31, 2015. Owners submitting a petition are still required to comply with their nutrient allocations as of January 1, 2011, through the Nutrient Credit Exchange Program (§ 62.1-44.19:4 of the Code of Virginia) or by other means. The board must approve or deny these petitions and adopt any resulting regulation amendments within 180 days of the petition deadline. Before making a final decision on the petitions, the board shall provide an opportunity for public comment.

DEQ received petitions for seven plants by the deadline: (i) Cape Charles; (ii) Culpeper Co. - Mountain Run; (iii) Fauquier Co. W&SA - Remington; (iv) Fauquier Co. W&SA - Vint Hill; (v) Harrisonburg-Rockingham SA - North River; (vi) Onancock; and (vii) Shenandoah Co. - North Fork Regional. The petitions are accessible at the web link provided below.

The legislation also exempted the board's adoption of any resulting regulation amendments under this rulemaking from Article 2 (§ 2.2-4006 et seq. of the Code of Virginia) of the Administrative Process Act.

The regulation to be amended is the Water Quality Management Planning Regulation (9VAC25-720).

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email and postal mail. Comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by 5 p.m. on the last day of the comment period. Please include a copy of any supporting documents or exhibits, which become part of the public record.

To review documents: This public notice is available on the Town Hall website at www.townhall.virginia.gov, where interested persons may also submit electronic comments. The legislation and notification letter sent May 8, 2009, to affected plant owners and the petitions received by the July 10, 2009, deadline are available through the Department of Environmental Quality, Chesapeake Bay Program webpage at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/bay/multi.html, or by contacting the Department of Environmental representative named below.

Contact for public comments, document requests, and additional information: John Kennedy, Department of Environmental Quality, Chesapeake Bay Program, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone (804) 698-4312, or email john.kennedy@deq.virginia.gov.

VIRGINIA CODE COMMISSION

Notice to State Agencies

Mailing Address: Virginia Code Commission, 910 Capitol Street, General Assembly Building, 2nd Floor, Richmond, VA 23219.

Filing Material for Publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations

Agencies are required to use the Regulation Information System (RIS) when filing regulations for publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations. The Office of the Virginia Register of Regulations implemented a web-based application called RIS for filing regulations and related items for publication in the Virginia Register. The Registrar's office has worked closely with the Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) to coordinate the system with the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall. RIS and Town Hall complement and enhance one another by sharing pertinent regulatory information.

The Office of the Virginia Register is working toward the eventual elimination of the requirement that agencies file print copies of regulatory packages. Until that time, agencies may file petitions for rulemaking, notices of intended regulatory actions and general notices in electronic form only; however, until further notice, agencies must continue to file print copies of proposed, final, fast-track and emergency regulatory packages.
