Effective date: September 16, 2016

Expiration date: October 1, 2016, or until emergency relief is no longer necessary as determined by the Commissioner of Agriculture.

Purpose: The purpose of this order is to provide a waiver to the ASTM Reid Vapor Pressure specifications for ethanol blended gasoline due to an emergency situation involving the Colonial Pipeline.

Background: On September 16, 2016, Governor Terence R. McAuliffe declared a state of emergency for the Commonwealth of Virginia as a measure for uninterrupted gasoline distribution following an incident in Alabama requiring Colonial Pipeline to shut down its Pipeline 1, which routes gasoline to the East Coast.  In Executive Order 59, Governor McAuliffe, pursuant to his authority under § 44-146.17 of the Code of Virginia, authorizes the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to grant a temporary waiver of the maximum vapor pressure requirement prescribed in emergency regulation 2VAC5-425, Vapor Pressure Requirements for Gasoline Ethanol Blends, and to prescribe a vapor pressure limit it deems reasonable. Executive Order 59 (2016) provides that the temporary waiver shall remain in effect until October 1, 2016, or until emergency relief is no longer necessary as determined by the Commissioner of Agriculture.

Definitions: "Volatility class C" means fuel with a vapor pressure and distillation designation of "C" set forth in Table 1 Vapor Pressure and Distillation Class Requirements of ASTM D4814-16d.

"Volatility class D" means fuel with a vapor pressure and distillation designation of "D" set forth in Table 1 Vapor Pressure and Distillation Class Requirements of ASTM D4814-16d.

Required vapor pressure limits for September 16, 2016, through September 30, 2016:

Pursuant to the authority granted in Executive Order 59 (2016), the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services waives the vapor pressure limit for gasoline ethanol blends prescribed by reference to ASTM D4814-16d in emergency regulation 2VAC5-425, Vapor Pressure Requirements for Gasoline Ethanol Blends, for the period of September 16, 2016, through September 30, 2016.

For the period of September 16, 2016, through September 30, 2016, when gasoline is blended with ethanol, the blend's maximum vapor pressure shall not exceed the ASTM D4814-16d limits for volatility class C or volatility class D.

Public Comment Period and Public Meeting - FY 2017 Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund Intended Use Plan and Project Priority List

Introduction: Section 606(c) of the Water Quality Act of 1987 requires the state to develop an Intended Use Plan (IUP) that identifies the uses of its Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund and to prepare a list of projects targeted for financial assistance with those funds. Following public comment and final board action, the list of targeted projects for financial assistance becomes the State's yearly clean water revolving loan project priority list (PPL) in the IUP.

FY 2017 program development: On June 1, 2016, the staff solicited applications from the Commonwealth's localities and wastewater authorities as well as potential stormwater management, living shoreline projects, land conservation and Brownfield remediation clientele. July 15, 2016, was established as the deadline for receiving applications. Based on this solicitation, DEQ received 24 wastewater improvement applications requesting $126,677,274, one application for a stormwater management project for $4,307,361; and one living shorelines application for an additional $250,000, bringing the total amount requested to $131,234,635.

All 24 wastewater applications were evaluated in accordance with the program's funding distribution criteria. In keeping with the program objectives and funding prioritization criteria, the staff reviewed project type and impact on state waters, the locality's compliance history and fiscal stress, and the project's readiness to proceed. The one stormwater application was reviewed in accordance with the board's priority ranking criteria for stormwater projects. Living shoreline projects are not ranked. All wastewater and stormwater applications are considered to be of good quality and should provide significant water quality and environmental improvement.

The list of applications in Attachment A of the document linked below is shown by project type in priority funding order based on the board's prioritization criteria. Note that each project type (wastewater and stormwater) has separate priority ranking point systems that are not intended to be numerically compared from one type to the other. All applications are considered to be of good quality and should provide significant water quality and environmental improvement. Based on these considerations, on September 22 the board approved the staff recommendation to target funding for $131,234,635 for all 26 projects as shown on Attachment B of the document linked below and present the proposed PPL and IUP for public comment.

The list of applications and the target funding list are available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/CleanWaterFinancingAssistance/FY2017AnnualSolicitation.aspx.

Public Participation: The board is presenting its draft list of targeted FY 2017 loan recipients and Intended Use Plan for public review and comment. A public meeting will be held at 2 p.m., Monday, October 24 at the Department of Environmental Quality, 11th Floor Conference Room, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. The public review and comment period will end immediately following the public meeting. Comments or questions should be directed to the DEQ contact person listed below. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the commenter.

Contact Information: Walter Gills, Clean Water Financing and Assistance Program, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone (804) 698-4133, or email walter.gills@deq.virginia.gov.

Public Comment Period - Proposed Revisions to the Stormwater Local Assistance Fund Guidelines

On behalf of the State Water Control Board, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is presenting draft revisions to the Stormwater Local Assistance Fund (SLAF) Guidelines for public review and comment. The public review and comment period ends November 1, 2016.

The fund, which provides matching grants to local governments for the implementation of stormwater best management practices, was created by the General Assembly in 2013, and the board approved the original SLAF Guidelines September 30, 2013. The General Assembly recently amended the Code of Virginia to expand SLAF eligibility to include the acquisition of non-point source nutrient credits, which necessitated revisions to the SLAF Guidelines. DEQ staff determined that additional changes would be beneficial to improve the SLAF program during this revision process.

The draft revisions to the guidelines and the memo to the board highlighting the changes are now available for public review and comment at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/programs/water/cleanwaterFinancingAssistance.aspx.

Public comments may be submitted through November 1, 2016.

All written comments or questions should include the name, address, and telephone number of the commenter and be directed to the contact person below.

Contact Information: Walter Gills, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone (804) 698-4133, or email walter.gills@deq.virginia.gov.

VIRGINIA WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Virginia Waste Management Board conducted a small business impact review of 9VAC20-190, Litter Receptacle Regulations, and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Virginia Waste Management Board is publishing its report of findings dated September 12, 2016, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

This regulation continues to be needed to protect human health and the environment. This regulation requires litter receptacles to be placed and maintained for the public to use. These receptacles are a critical component of the prevention of litter in the Commonwealth. Without these receptacles, the public would have no place to deposit their trash while in public. This would potentially lead to an increase in littering in the Commonwealth and associated negative impacts to human health and the environment.

Comments received during the public comment period for the periodic review of this regulation were only received from the James City Clean County Commission. The commission was concerned with three key issues, cigarette butt disposal containers, the need for additional litter receptacles due to receptacles being full, and additional requirements for litter containers and a portable toilet at construction sites. The regulations address the minimum requirements for litter receptacles, including placement and maintenance of these receptacles. Enforcement of this regulation is conducted by local law enforcement. The Code of Virginia directs the Virginia Waste Management Board to adopt regulations containing guidelines for the use of litter receptacles in public places. Virginia is a diverse state, and this regulation provides minimum standards for the placement of litter receptacles. Some localities may experience more challenges with preventing litter than others. Localities may choose to impose requirements that are more stringent than these requirements to address local issues with litter. Enforcement of this regulation is conducted by local law enforcement, and localities are able to implement additional measures to address specific litter issues in their communities.

This regulation is not complex. It requires placement of litter receptacles at certain places throughout the Commonwealth. In most cases the regulation requires a minimum of one litter receptacle to be placed at locations where litter needs to be deposited to prevent it from being improperly discarded. The regulation allows the entity that is required to provide and maintain litter receptacles the ability to decide the appropriate number of litter receptacles needed to collect the litter and the frequency for them to be emptied.

This regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with any state law or other state regulation.

A periodic review was last conducted on this regulation in 2012. Since that time, changes to technology and economic conditions have not impacted this regulation.

The Director of the Department of Environmental Quality, on behalf of the Virginia Waste Management Board, recommends that this regulation be retained. As currently written, the regulation meets the requirements of state law while minimizing the impacts on small businesses.
