State Implementation Plan Revision -
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
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) plan for municipal solid waste
landfills (MSWLs). A § 111(d) 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 MSWLs. 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: Documents Incorporated by Reference, 9VAC5-20-21,
of 9VAC5-20 (General Provisions) and Emission Standards for Municipal Solid
Waste Landfills for which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification was
Commenced on or before July 17, 2014, Article 4-43.1 (9VAC5-40-5925 et seq.),
of 9VAC5-40 (Existing Stationary Sources), Revision H16.
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: March 20, 2017, to May 1, 2017.
Public hearing: A public hearing will be held in Second Floor
Conference Room A, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main Street,
Richmond, Virginia, at 10 a.m. on April 19, 2017, to accept comments
concerning the proposed plan. Using the procedures explained in this notice,
DEQ will also accept written comments through May 1, 2017.
Public comment stage: The public comment period and hearing are
being conducted to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal
regulations at 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 in this notice and not on the content of the regulations.
Description of proposal: EPA amended the designated pollutant
emission guidelines for MSWLs on August 29, 2016 (81 FR 59276). In order to
implement the guidelines, it was necessary for Virginia to adopt a new Article
43.1 containing the federal provisions and update the most current version of
40 CFR Part 60 listed in 9VAC5-20-21, Documents incorporated by reference.
In addition to relevant regulations, the proposed plan revision contains an
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) plan revision
under §§ 111(d) 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) plan with the exception of state-only
enforceable provisions and provisions relevant to § 110 ozone controls. These
affected provisions 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

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.
Description of proposal: The proposed revision consists of a
certification that Virginia's existing Nonattainment New Source Review Program,
covering the Washington, DC-MD-VA nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS,
is at least as stringent as the requirements at 40 CFR 51.165 for ozone
and its precursors, as amended by the March 6, 2015 final rule,

Ozone: State Implementation Plan Requirements" (80 FR 12264). The

How fees are calculated: DCLS calculates a laboratory's total
fee by adding the fees for the number of test methods in each category in the
fee table for which the laboratory is certified or applies to be certified.
Contact Lab_Cert@dgs.virginia.gov for more information about the fee
category for a specific method.
Additional fees apply when a laboratory:
• Applies for modification of certification under
1VAC30-41-110,
• Is moving its location when the move requires DCLS to perform
an onsite assessment,
• Requests reinstatement of certification when DCLS requires an
onsite assessment, or
Hourly fee for reviewers and calculation of total fee. The fee
to be charged is the sum of the total hourly charges for all reviewers plus any
onsite assessment costs incurred. The hourly charge per reviewer is $63. The
charge per reviewer is determined by multiplying the number of hours expended
in the review by $63.
Onsite review and travel expenses. If an onsite review is
required, travel time and onsite review time will be charged at the same hourly
rate of $63 and any travel expenses will be added.
When to pay: Payment is due at the time the application is made
or annually thereafter upon receipt of the invoice from DCLS. Annual billing
precedes the expiration of the current certificate.
How to pay: Pay fees by check, draft, or postal money order
payable to the Treasurer, Commonwealth of Virginia, or submit electronically,
if available. Payment must be in United States currency, with the exception
that agencies and institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia may submit
interagency transfers for the amount of the fee. Laboratories may also pay
fees using credit cards. All fees must be sent to the following address, or
submitted electronically, if available: DCLS, Attn: Lab Certification, 600
North 5th Street, Richmond, VA 23219. A fee payment form is available on the
Drinking Water page of the DCLS website at www.dgs.virginia.gov/dcls.
