CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES BOARD
Dispatcher Curriculum Review
Committee: Proposed Performance Outcomes for Dispatchers
The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is seeking
public comment. The public comment period opens March 19, 2018, and closes May
21, 2018. Public comment is accepted through the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall
website. The agenda for the June 14, 2018, meeting of the Committee on Training
will include an opportunity for public comment.
The members of the Dispatcher Curriculum Review Committee (CRC)
have spent more than two years conducting a comprehensive review of the minimum
training standards for dispatchers. The members have reviewed, discussed,
revised, and repealed existing performance outcomes; reviewed, discussed, and
revised proposed performance outcomes submitted by stakeholders; and discussed
and developed new performance outcomes.
The CRC worked diligently to address first responder and public
safety while identifying the knowledge and skills essential for the dispatch
profession. The CRC worked to streamline the performance outcomes, remove
redundant and antiquated language, and clarify confusing and ambiguous training
objectives, testing criteria, and terminology. The CRC approved a comprehensive
rewrite of the dispatcher performance outcomes and intends to recommend that the
Committee on Training approve the package as submitted.
The comprehensive rewrite of the dispatcher performance
outcomes can be viewed on the DCJS website on the Law Enforcement page at https://www.dcjs.virginia.gov/law-enforcement by clicking on the tab labeled "Proposed Performance Outcomes for Dispatchers."

Notice
of 30-Day Public Comment Period on Revisions to the List of Impaired Waters
Prioritized for TMDL or TMDL Alternative Development for 2016–2022
Public comment process: The
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written or electronic comments
from interested persons on the adjusted list of impaired waters prioritized for
total maximum daily load
(TMDL) or TMDL alternative development throughout 2016–2022. The public comment period begins April 2, 2018,
and ends May 2, 2018. Please note that all written comments should include the
name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments. DEQ
will hold a public meeting to address and discuss the revised list of impaired
waters prioritized for TMDL or TMDL alternative development if there is
sufficient interest from the public. For more information or to submit written
or electronic comments, please contact Will Isenberg, Department of
Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone (804)
698-4228, or email william.isenberg@deq.virginia.gov.
Background: DEQ is
implementing the national § 303(d) Program Vision, which facilitates the prioritization of
impaired waters for TMDL or TMDL alternative development 2016–2022. While the
national § 303(d) Program
Vision involves prioritizing impaired waters for TMDL or TMDL alternative
development, DEQ took this opportunity to also prioritize impaired waters that
require a stressor analysis report or a natural conditions report. TMDLs or
TMDL alternatives are reports that outline necessary reductions in pollutant or
pollution loads in order to restore water quality. In some cases, stressor
analyses must be conducted prior to any restoration plan development due to the
uncertain causes of water quality impairment. These reports analyze water
quality data to determine what the most probable stressors are that contribute
to the impaired status of the water. In other cases where either a stressor
analysis or a watershed characteristic suggests that the impaired status of the
water is due more to natural conditions than human activity, a natural
conditions report is conducted.
In the late summer of 2015,
DEQ assembled a draft list of prioritized impaired waters and public noticed
that list for public comment on July 27, 2015. The 30-day public comment period
lasted until August 26, 2015. Only one comment was received and addressed by
DEQ. It did not result in any changes to the priorities list, which was then
finalized following the close of the comment period and submitted to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with the new § 303(d) Program Vision. Soon thereafter in the
early winter of 2015–2016, EPA announced that these priorities lists could be
revised. This opportunity to revise the priorities list was due to challenges
incurred by states throughout this first submittal of priority waters as part
of the new § 303(d) Program
Vision, in addition to the fact that EPA was allowing TMDL revisions to be
included as priorities for the first time. Accordingly, DEQ assembled a revised
list of prioritized impaired waters and public noticed that list for public
comment from April 2, 2016, to May 2, 2016. No comments were received, and the
revised priorities list was finalized and submitted to EPA.
EPA is now providing states
another opportunity to adjust their priorities lists to adapt to changes in
program resources. Therefore, DEQ is taking this opportunity to move additional
waters to the list of prioritized waters that will be submitted to EPA. Before
finalizing this revision of prioritized impaired waters, DEQ is providing a
30-day public comment period to seek comments from the public. Once all of the
comments have been addressed following this public comment period, DEQ will
finalize the revised 2016–2022 priorities list and post it on DEQ TMDL program webpage. The final list will also be published in the
2018 and 2020 biennial § 305(b)/303(d) Integrated
Reports, where it will be
available for additional public comment under the comment period for the entire
Integrated Report.
