STATE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
Proposed Section 111(d)/129 Plan
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed Commonwealth of Virginia § 111(d)/129 plan. Section 111(d)/129 plans are developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to meet the ambient air quality standards for designated pollutants promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. The Commonwealth intends to submit the plan to EPA in accordance with the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act.
Regulations affected: The regulations of the board affected by this action are as follows: Documents incorporated by reference (9VAC5-20-21 of 9VAC5-20 (General Provisions)); and Emission Standards for Sewage Sludge Incineration Units, Article 55 (9VAC5-40-8200 et seq.) of 9VAC5-40 (Existing Stationary Sources).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the overall plan and on the issue of whether any regulations included in the plan should be submitted to EPA as part of the plan.
Public comment period: November 5, 2012, to December 6, 2012.
Public hearing: A public hearing will be held in Seventh Floor Conference Room, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, VA, at 9 a.m. on December 5, 2012, to accept comments concerning the proposed plan. Using the procedures explained below, DEQ will also accept written comments through December 6, 2012.
Public comment stage: The public comment period and hearing are being conducted to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations of 40 CFR 60.23(c) and (d). The regulations included in this plan have been adopted by the State Air Pollution Control Board in accordance with the Code of Virginia and with public participation as required by the Code of Virginia, the federal Clean Air Act, and the Code of Federal Regulations. Because the regulations have been adopted, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issues cited above and not on the content of the regulations.
Description of proposal: EPA established designated pollutant emission guidelines for sewage sludge incinerators in the Federal Register of March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15372). In order to implement the guidelines, it was necessary for Virginia to develop and adopt a state regulation containing those limits. In addition to the regulations, the proposed plan contains an inventory of emissions from the affected facilities, a list of authorities being retained by EPA, and other supporting documentation.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations and not any provision of state law. The proposal will be submitted as § 111(d)/129 plan under §§ 111(d) and 129 of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 60.23(c) and (d). It is planned to submit all provisions of the proposal as a Commonwealth of Virginia § 111(d)/129 plan with the exception of state-only enforceable provisions, which are specifically identified in the plan.
How to comment: DEQ 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 DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Both oral and written comments are accepted at the public hearing. DEQ prefers that comments be provided in writing, along with any supporting documents or exhibits. All materials received are part of the public record.
To review plan documents: The proposal is available on the DEQ Air Public Notices for Plans website: http://www.deq.state.va.us/Programs/Air/PublicNotices/airplansandprograms.aspx.
The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ representative named below. The public may review the documents between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. of each business day until the close of the public comment period at the following DEQ locations:

STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD
General Notice of Intent to Provide Section 401 Water Quality Certification of Norfolk District Corps of Engineers Regional Permit 22
Pursuant to Virginia Water Protection Permit Regulation (9VAC25-210-130 H), the State Water Control Board (Board) is giving notice of its intent to provide § 401 Water Quality Certification for activities authorized by the above referenced U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District Regional Permit after considering public comment for a 30-day period starting October 16, 2012.
On September 26, 2012, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District published a notice of its proposed reissuance and modification of the Regional Permit 22 (08-RP-22) that is scheduled to expire on August 14, 2013. RP-22 authorizes certain activities within the Virginia portion of Lake Gaston. These activities include construction and other actions on piers, docks, boathouses, bulkheads, riprap, boat slips, channels, aerial power lines, and utility lines. The notice and proposed 12-RP-22 can be found at: http://www.nao.usace.army.mil/Media/PublicNotices/tabid/3060/Article/4441/proposed-reissuance-and-modification-of-the-norfolk-district-regional-permit-22.aspx.
The proposed modification to the RP-22 is intended to better streamline the process for applicants. Whereas all activities in 08-RP-22 required notification to the USACE, 12-RP-22 allows certain activities to be non-reporting to the USACE so long as Dominion North Carolina Power has issued a permit.
The State Water Control Board hereby proposes unconditional § 401 Water Quality Certification for 12-RP-22.
The Board can only issue final § 401 Certification of a nationwide or regional USACE permit if the permit meets the requirements of the VWP regulation and after advertising and accepting public comment for 30 days on its intent to provide certification.
The State Water Control Board will issue its final § 401 Water Quality Certification for activities authorized by the above referenced U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Norfolk District permits at the end of the 30 day comment period and after any comments received are considered. Written comments, including those by email, must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. on November 15, 2012, and should be submitted to David L. Davis at the address given below. Only those comments received within this period will be considered by the Board.
