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.

Description of proposal: EPA amended the designated pollutant emission guidelines for MSWLs on August 29, 2016 (81 FR 59276).

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.

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.
