AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
State Implementation Plan Revision -
Commercial/Industrial/Solid Waste Incinerators (Revision F16)
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's § 111(d)/129 plan for commercial/industrial
solid waste incinerators (CISWIs). A § 111(d)/129 plan is developed by the
Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean
Air Act to implement and enforce emissions guidelines for solid waste
incineration units. The Commonwealth intends to submit the plan to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (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: 9VAC5-20-21, Documents incorporated by reference,
of 9VAC5-20 (General Provisions); and Article 45, Emission Standards for
Commercial/Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (Rule 4-45), (9VAC5-40-6250 et
seq.) of 9VAC5-40 Existing Stationary Sources (Revision F16).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the overall plan,
and on the issue of whether any regulations or inventory information included
in the plan should be submitted to EPA as part of the plan.
Public comment period: November 14, 2016 to December 15,
2016.
Public hearing: A public hearing will be held in the eighth
floor conference room, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main
Street, Richmond, Virginia, at 10:00 a.m. on December 14, 2016, to accept
comments concerning the proposed plan. Using the procedures explained below,
DEQ will also accept written comments through December 15, 2016.
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 amended the designated pollutant
emission guidelines for CISWIs on June 23, 2016 (81 FR 40956). In order to
implement the guidelines, it was necessary for Virginia to amend the state
regulation (Rule 4-45) containing the federal provisions, and to update the
most current version of 40 CFR Part 60 listed in 9VAC5-20-21, Documents
incorporated by reference. In addition to affected regulations, the proposed
plan revision contains an updated inventory of affected facilities.
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 a § 111(d)/129 plan
revision 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 must 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 at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/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 Department of Environmental Quality, Main Street
Office, 8th Floor, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, VA, telephone (804)

ORDER FOR NOTICE AND COMMENT
On September 23, 2016, Virginia Electric and Power Company
d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power, Appalachian Power Company, Kentucky Utilities
Company d/b/a Old Dominion Power Company, A&N Electric Cooperative, BARC
Electric Cooperative, Central Virginia Electric Cooperative, Community Electric
Cooperative, Craig-Botetourt Electric Cooperative, Mecklenburg Electric
Cooperative, Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, Northern Virginia Electric
Cooperative, Prince George Electric Cooperative, Rappahannock Electric
Cooperative, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, Southside Electric
Cooperative, and Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric
Cooperatives (collectively, "Petitioners"), filed a Joint Petition
for Rulemaking ("Joint Petition") with the State Corporation
Commission ("Commission").1 The Petitioners request that
the Commission initiate a rulemaking for the limited purpose of modifying the
Serious Medical Condition Certification Form ("Form SMCC"), which was
included in the adoption of 20 VAC 5-330-30 B of the Commission's
regulations titled "Limitations on Disconnection of Electric and Water Service"2
("Rules") in 2011.3
Form SMCC enables the Petitioners to be aware of residential
customers who have a serious medical condition(s) or who reside with a family
member with a serious medical condition(s), as defined by Rule 20 VAC
5-330-20, particularly with regard to emergencies and the termination or
disconnection of electric service for such customers. Form SMCC requires
certification by a licensed physician that the medical condition meets the
definition of a "serious medical condition" in Rule 20 VAC 5-330-20.
The Petitioners utilize the Form SMCC provided on the Commission's website but
request in the Joint Petition that the Commission approve certain
non-substantive modifications to Form SMCC to "make the form more
user-friendly for utility customers and their physician(s) and provide more
useful information to a utility carrying out its service to the public
including customers with serious medical conditions."4
Specifically, the Petitioners propose the following modifications: (1) add a
separate description box specific to the "Required Treatment for
Condition" section of Form SMCC; (2) add a checklist to the description
box for equipment prescribed for the serious medical condition, and change that
description box to state "Equipment prescribed and/or equipment required for
treatment of condition (If any): (Check all that apply)"; and (3) delete
the "Additional Comments" box on the bottom of Form SMCC.5
The Petitioners assert that the proposed modifications to Form SMCC
("Proposed Form SMCC") are "consistent with and continue[ ] to
meet the requirements of the [Rules]."6
NOW UPON CONSIDERATION of the Joint Petition, the Commission
is of the opinion and finds that the Joint Petition should be docketed; that
the Petitioners should give notice to the public of the Joint Petition's
proposed modifications to Form SMCC; and that interested persons should have an
opportunity to comment and/or request a hearing on the Joint Petition's
proposed modifications to Form SMCC. We further find that it is not necessary
to initiate a rulemaking for the limited purpose of modifying Form SMCC since
the Petitioners have not proposed changes to the underlying regulations, but we
will direct that a copy of this Order and the Proposed Form SMCC, attached to
this Order as Attachment A, be sent to the Registrar of Regulations for
publication in the Virginia Register.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) This matter is docketed and assigned Case No.
PUE-2016-00110.
(2) The Commission's Division of Information Resources shall
forward a copy of this Order for Notice and Comment, including a copy of
Proposed Form SMCC, to the Registrar of Regulations for publication in the
Virginia Register.
(3) The Petitioners shall promptly make a copy of the Joint
Petition and Proposed Form SMCC available to the public, who may obtain a copy
of the Joint Petition and Proposed Form SMCC at no charge by requesting a copy
of the same in writing from the coordinating counsel for the Petitioners: Anne
Flampton Andrews, Esquire, McGuireWoods LLP, Gateway Plaza, 800 East Canal
Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Customers of the Petitioners may also request
a copy from their individual electric utility. The Joint Petition and related
documents shall also be available for interested persons to review in the
Commission's Document Control Center, Tyler Building, First Floor, 1300 East
Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and

also download unofficial copies from the Commission's website:
http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.

the following notice to be published as display advertising (not classified) on
one (1) occasion in newspapers of general circulation throughout the
Commonwealth of Virginia:

Total Maximum Daily Load
Implementation Plan for the Clinch River and Cove Creek Watersheds
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and
oral comments from interested persons on the total maximum daily load (TMDL)
implementation plan (IP) for the Clinch River and Cove Creek watersheds. There
are 11 different impaired stream segments in this study area and include the
following streams: Clinch River, Cove Creek, Stock Creek, Moll Creek, Valley
Creek, Blackwater Creek, Copper Creek, and North Fork Clinch River. All
segments are listed as impaired on Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List
and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for
bacteria.
Ten of the segments were first listed as impaired in 2008 and
have remained on the § 303(d) list for bacteria impairments, one segment
was listed in 2010. The Clinch River segment extends 9.69 miles from the Copper
Creek confluence near Speers Ferry downstream to the Tennessee state line near
Shelby. Cove Creek extends 6.94 miles from its confluence with Millstone Branch
to the confluence with the Clinch River north of Starnes Slant. Stock Creek
extends from stream mile 4.56 downstream to the Clinch River confluence at
Clinchport. Moll Creek extends 4.20 miles from Copper Creek upstream, to a
second tributary including Porter Hollow. Valley Creek extends 1.01 miles from
near Farley Chapel to the confluence with Copper Creek. Blackwater Creek
extends 2.11 miles from the East Fork Blackwater Creek confluence downstream to
the Tennessee state line. Copper Creek extends 14 miles from the Grassy Creek
confluence upstream through Dickensonville to stream mile 56.8. The North Fork
Clinch River extends 11.01 miles from the Fraley Branch confluence downstream
to the Cox Branch confluence. An additional segment of the North Fork Clinch
River was listed in 2010 and extends 5.59 miles from the Cox Branch confluence
near Fairview downstream to the Tennessee state line near Dona.
The TMDL studies for these stream impairments were completed in
2014 and can be found in the Bacteria TMDL Development for the Clinch River and
Cove Creek Watershed, Virginia report, which is available on the DEQ website at
http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/ApprovedTMDLReports.aspx.
Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires
expeditious implementation of total maximum daily loads when appropriate. The
IP will provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water
quality objectives. The IP will also include corrective actions needed and
their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will host two
public meetings to present the draft TMDL implementation plan for the Clinch
River and Cove Creek watershed. Both meetings will be held on Thursday,
November 17, 2016, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
One meeting will be held at the Crooked Road Tech Center, 372
Technology Trail Lane, Duffield, VA 24244. An additional meeting will take
place on the same day and time at the Senior and Community Building, Keith
Memorial Park, 163 Spartan Band Avenue, Nickelsville, VA near the Dollar
General Store.
A 30-day public comment period for the meetings begins November
17, 2016, and ends December 19, 2016. Written comments should include the name,
address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should
be sent to Martha Chapman, Department of Environmental Quality, 355A Deadmore
