AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

State Implementation Plan Revision - General Definitions (9VAC5-10, Revision E14)

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. The Commonwealth intends to submit the regulation to the EPA as a revision to the SIP in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act.

Regulations affected: The regulation of the board affected by this action is General Definitions, 9VAC5-10 (Revision E14).

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether the regulation amendments should be submitted as a revision to the SIP.

Public comment period: 30-day comment forum August 10, 2015, through September 9, 2015.

Public hearing: A public hearing may be conducted if a request is made in writing to the contact listed at the end of this notice. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice, and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.

Public comment stage: The regulation amendments are exempt from the state administrative procedures for adoption of regulations contained in Article 2 of the Administrative Process Act by the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 4 c of the Administrative Process Act because they are necessary to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act and do not differ materially from the pertinent EPA regulations. Since the amendments are exempt from administrative procedures for the adoption of regulations, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issue cited above under "purpose of notice" and not on the content of the regulation amendments.

Description of proposal: In essence, the proposed revision will consist of amendments to existing regulation provisions concerning the definition of volatile organic compound (VOC). The list of substances not considered to be VOCs in Virginia has been revised to include 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, which EPA removed from the definition of VOC on March 27, 2014, (79 FR 17037) based on a demonstration that the substance is less reactive and does not affect the formation of ozone.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102) and not any provision of state law. Except as noted below, the proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. It is planned to submit all provisions of the proposal as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP.

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. All comments, exhibits and documents received are part of the public record.

To review regulation documents: The proposal and supporting documents are available on the DEQ Air Public Notices for Plans website at http://www.deq.state.va.us/Programs/Air/PublicNotices/airplansandprograms.aspx. The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ representative named below.

9VAC25-32, Virginia Pollution Abatement (VPA) Permit Regulation (Secondary Action).

Statutory Authority: Subdivisions 6 and 10 of § 62.1-44.15 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Hearing Information: No public hearings are scheduled.

Public Comment Period: July 14, 2015, through August 14, 2015.

Purpose: The purpose of this action is the development of regulatory amendments needed to implement the provisions of Chapters 104 and 677 of the 2015 Acts of Assembly (House Bill 1364 and Senate Bill 1413) related to fees for the land application of industrial wastes and reimbursement for compliance monitoring conducted by local governments. The text of the proposed amendments is available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/programs/water/landapplication
beneficialreuse/publicnotices.aspx
.

Chapters 677 and 104 amended and reenacted §§ 62.1-44.3; 62.1-44.16, and 62.1-44.19:3 of the Code of Virginia and added § 62.1-44.16:1 of the Code of Virginia. The legislation allows localities to adopt ordinances that provide for the testing and monitoring of the land application of solid or semisolid industrial wastes and authorizes DEQ to collect land application fees and use the fees collected to reimburse localities for testing and monitoring of the land application of solid or semisolid industrial waste and training the employees of the localities who will be responsible for testing and monitoring the land application of industrial wastes. The legislation further provides that the fee imposed on each dry ton of solid or semisolid industrial waste that is land applied pursuant to subsection E of § 62.1-44.16 of the Code of Virginia, as created by this act, shall be $5.00 until altered, amended, or rescinded by the State Water Control Board.

The legislation provides that the State Water Control Board shall promulgate regulations to implement the provisions of the act to be effective no later than January 1, 2016.

Participatory Approach: The State Water Control Board's initial adoption of regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this act shall be exempt from the provisions of the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia, except that the Department of Environmental Quality shall use a regulatory advisory panel to assist in the development of necessary regulations and shall provide an opportunity for public comment on the regulations prior to adoption.

A notice was published in the Virginia Register of Regulations on May 12, 2015, identifying the opportunity for stakeholders to express an interest in participating in a regulatory advisory panel to assist in the development of regulatory amendments relating to local monitoring of industrial waste permits and fees for land application of industrial wastes. The notice solicited persons with an interest in the amendments to participate on a regulatory advisory panel for regulation development.

A 10-member regulatory advisory panel (RAP) was selected, and the RAP met on June 19, 2015, and provided input to DEQ regarding the development of regulatory amendments.

DEQ is seeking input from the interested public regarding the substance of the regulatory amendments.

Contact Information: William K. Norris, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main Street, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone (804) 698-4022, FAX (804) 698-4019, or email william.norris@deq.virginia.gov.

Total Maximum Daily Load for Bull Creek and the Tributaries Convict Hollow, Belcher Branch, Deel Fork, and Cove Hollow in Buchanan County

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for Bull Creek and the tributaries Convict Hollow, Belcher Branch, Deel Fork, and Cove Hollow in Buchanan County. These streams are listed on the 2012 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standards for aquatic life.

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the State Water Control Law requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) Priority List and Report.

The impaired segments include: 28.45 miles of the mainstem of Bull Creek and the tributaries of Convict Hollow, Belcher Branch, Deel Fork, and Cove Hollow.

This is a public meeting to discuss the combination of the Phase I TMDL report and Phase II TMDL report into a single document. The Phase I TMDL was completed and approved by EPA in 2011 and is available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/water/TMDL/apptmdls/tenbigrvr/bullcrbc.pdf. The Phase II TMDL was completed in 2013 after additional sampling and water quality modeling refinement and is available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/water/TMDL/drftmdls/bullphase2.pdf. The meeting on the development of the TMDLs to address the impairments for these segments will be held on August 11, 2015, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Riverview Elementary/Middle School at 27382 Riverside Drive, Grundy, VA 24614.

The public comment period will begin August 11, 2015, and ends September 11, 2015.

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the South Fork Holston River, Bishop Branch, Grosses Creek, and Slemp Creek in Washington and Smyth Counties. These streams are listed on the 2012 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standards for bacteria.

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the State Water Control Law requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) Priority List and Report.

The impaired segments include: 36.7 miles of the South Fork Holston River from the headwaters downstream to the backwaters of South Holston; 0.48 miles of Bishop Branch from the confluence with the South Fork Holston River upstream to the confluence with Parker Branch; 4.00 miles of Grosses Creek from the headwaters downstream to the confluence with the South Fork Holston River; 3.85 miles of Slemp Creek from the headwaters downstream to the confluence with the South Fork Holston River.

The final public meeting on the development of the TMDL to address the bacteria impairments for these segments will be held on August 27, 2015, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Chilhowie Town Hall, 325 East Lee Highway, Chilhowie, VA 24319.
