Amendment of Water Quality Management
Planning Regulation
Notice of action: The State Water Control Board is considering
the amendment of the regulation on water quality management planning in
accordance with the public participation procedures for water quality
management planning. A regulation is a general rule governing people's rights
or conduct that is upheld by a state agency.
Purpose of notice: The board is seeking comments through the
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on the proposed amendment. The
purpose of the amendment to the state's Water Quality Management Planning
Regulation (9VAC25-720) is to adopt 12 new and three revised total maximum
daily load (TMDL) wasteload allocations.
Public comment period: August 7, 2017, through September 6,
2017.
Description of proposed action: DEQ staff will propose
amendments of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation for the
James River Basin (9VAC25-720-60 A), the Roanoke River Basin (9VAC25-720-80 A),
the Tennessee-Big Sandy River Basin (9VAC25-720-90 A), and the Chesapeake
Bay-Small Coastal-Eastern Shore River Basin (9VAC25-720-110 A). Statutory
authority for promulgating these amendments can be found in § 62.1-
44.15(10) of the Code of Virginia.
Staff intends to recommend (1) that the board approve the five
TMDL reports as the plan for the pollutant reductions necessary for attainment
of water quality goals in the impaired segments, (2) that the board authorize
inclusion of the five TMDL reports in the appropriate Water Quality Management
Plan, and (3) that the board adopt 12 new and three revised TMDL wasteload
allocations (WLAs) as part of the state's Water Quality Management Planning
Regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4006 A 14 and § 2.2-4006 B of the
Code of Virginia.
The TMDL reports were developed in accordance with federal
regulations (40 CFR 130.7) and are exempt from the provisions of Article 2 (§
2.2-4006 et seq.) of the Virginia Administrative Process Act. The reports were
subject to the TMDL public participation process contained in DEQ's Public
Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning. The public
comment process provides the affected stakeholders an opportunity for public
appeal of the TMDL.
As of July 1, 2014, TMDL WLAs can receive State Water Control
Board approval prior to EPA approval due to amendments outlined in
§ 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Code of Virginia. The five TMDL reports in this
public notice have been reviewed by EPA for required TMDL elements but remain
in draft form awaiting State Water Control Board approval. The draft reports
can be found at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.
