Virginia Creating Opportunities for Medicaid Participants to
Achieve Self-Sufficiency (COMPASS)
On June 7, 2018, Governor Northam signed Chapter 2 of the 2018
Acts of Assembly (2018 Appropriations Act) directing the Department of Medical
Assistance Services (DMAS) to submit a Medicaid § 1115 Demonstration
Waiver seeking federal approval for new Medicaid program features "designed
to empower individuals to improve their health and well-being and gain employer
sponsored coverage or other commercial health insurance coverage, while
simultaneously ensuring the program's long-term fiscal sustainability."
Pursuant to 42 CFR 431.408, DMAS is providing notice of intent
to submit to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services a request
to extend for five years the Medicaid § 1115 Demonstration Waiver, the
Virginia Governor's Access Plan (GAP) and Addiction and Recovery Treatment
Services (ARTS) Delivery System Transformation.
Virginia's current demonstration waiver, which expires on
December 31, 2019, includes the GAP program, the ARTS demonstration, and
Medicaid coverage authority to former foster care youth who have aged out of
foster care in another state but now reside in Virginia. Because the
Commonwealth is in the process of expanding Medicaid on January 1, 2019, to
nondisabled, nonpregnant adults ages 19 to 64 with income up to 138% of the
federal poverty level (FPL), the GAP program is being phased out, and GAP
enrollees will be transitioned to the new adult Medicaid eligibility group.
Through the five-year extension, which will be called the
Virginia Creating Opportunities for Medicaid Participants to Achieve Self
Sufficiency (COMPASS) Waiver, the Commonwealth will continue to provide
essential substance use disorder services to all Medicaid enrollees through
ARTS and maintain authority for Medicaid coverage for former foster care youth.
In addition, as directed by state legislation, the Commonwealth will (i)
implement a work and community engagement program in which participation is a
condition of Medicaid eligibility for certain adults with income up to 138% of
the FPL; (ii) implement premiums and copayments for nonemergency use of the
emergency department and incentivize healthy behaviors through health and
wellness accounts for certain adults with income between 100% and 138% of the
FPL; and (iii) create a new housing and employment supports benefit for
high-need populations.
The DMAS website includes a detailed public notice with more
information about the extension request as well as the draft waiver application
at www.dmas.virginia.gov/#/1115waiver. Public
comments may be submitted until midnight (Eastern Time) on Saturday, October
20, 2018, by email at 1115Implementation@dmas.virginia.gov,
by regular mail to Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services, Attn:
Virginia COMPASS, 600 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23219, or in person at
the public hearings listed below and at Virginia Department of Medical
Assistance Services, 600 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23219.
DMAS will host four public hearings during the public notice
and comment period at the following times and locations:

Public Meeting for Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Russell
Fork River, Hurricane Creek, and Indian Creek Watersheds
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and
oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily
loads (TMDLs) for the Russell Fork River, Hurricane Creek, and Indian Creek
Watersheds. These streams are listed on the 2016 § 303(d) TMDL Priority
List and Report as impaired due to exceedances of the state's water quality
standards for bacteria in Buchanan and Dickenson Counties in Virginia. In
addition, Indian Creek, Sullivan Branch, and Fryingpan Creek are listed as
impaired for failure to support the aquatic life use and are also located in
Buchanan and Dickenson Counties in Virginia.
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of
the State Water Control Law requires DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants
responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) Priority
List and Report.
The impaired segments include: 7.05 miles, including the
Russell Fork mainstem from Hollow Poplar Creek downstream, following the
Buchanan and Dickenson County line, to the confluence of Pawpaw Creek near
Cannady; 9.30 miles of the Russell Fork headwaters, on Big A Mountain,
downstream through Davenport to the confluence of Hollow Poplar Creek; 4.35
miles, including the upper mainstem from the confluence of Pawpaw Creek
downstream to the Fryingpan Creek confluence; 3.83 miles, including the
mainstem from the Pound River confluence near Bartlick upstream through
Splashdam to the McClure River confluence; 2.25 miles from the Kentucky state
line upstream 2.2 miles to protect Elkhorn City, Kentucky raw water intake;
0.86 miles of Hurricane Creek from the confluence of Carver Branch downstream
to the confluence with the Russell Fork in Davenport; 2.7 miles of Indian
Creek, a Russell Fork tributary, from the Cane Creek confluence at Duty
downstream to the Russell Fork confluence at the Buchanan and Dickenson County
line; 1.63 miles of Sullivan Branch, an Indian Creek tributary, from its
headwaters on Long Ridge, north of Duty, and 9.70 miles of Fryingpan Creek from
the headwaters on Sandy Ridge near Carrie downstream to the Priest Fork
confluence, near Sportsman Lake.
The first public meeting on the development of the TMDL to
address the bacteria and aquatic life impairments for these segments will be
held on October 18, 2018, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Haysi Town
Hall, 322 Main Street, Haysi, VA 24256.
The public comment period will begin October 18, 2018, and end
November 19, 2018. An advisory committee to assist in development of this TMDL
will be established. Persons interested in assisting should notify the DEQ
contact person by the end of the comment period and provide their name,
address, phone number, email address, and the organization representing (if
any). Notification of the composition of the panel will be sent to all
applicants.
A component of a TMDL is the wasteload allocations (WLAs);
therefore, this notice is provided pursuant to § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the
Administrative Process Act for any future adoption of the TMDLs associated
WLAs. Information on the development of the TMDLs for these impairments is
available upon request. Questions, information requests, and all written
comments should be addressed to Martha Chapman, Department of Environmental
Quality, Southwest Regional Office, 355-A Deadmore Street, Abingdon, VA 24210,
telephone (276) 676-4800, or email

Public Meeting for Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Plan
for Woods Creek
Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the
development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan for the
Woods Creek watershed in Rockbridge County and the City of Lexington, Virginia.
A public meeting will be held on October 24, 2018, at 6 p.m.
(student research showcase starting at 5:30 p.m.) at Waddell Elementary
School, 100 Pendleton Place, Lexington, VA 24450.
Meeting description: DEQ and its contractor, Virginia Tech's
Biological Systems Engineering Department, will discuss the process that will
be used to complete a water quality improvement plan, known as a TMDL
implementation plan, for Woods Creek and its tributaries. Prior to the meeting,
students from Lexington schools will showcase their recent studies of Woods
Creek water quality. This is an opportunity for local residents to learn about
the condition of the creek, share information about the area, and become
involved in the process of local water quality improvement. Volunteers will be
solicited to assist with TMDL implementation plan development by serving on
working groups. A public comment period will follow the meeting. The public
comment period begins October 25, 2018, and ends November 30, 2018.
In case of inclement weather, the meeting will be held at the
same time and location on October 30, 2018.
Description of study: A TMDL is the total amount of a pollutant
a water body can contain and still meet water quality standards. Section 303(d)
of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia
require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water
contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. Woods
Creek was listed on the § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired
due to violations of Virginia's water quality standards for bacteria for recreational
use. DEQ completed the bacteria TMDL study for Woods Creek in 2017. The Woods
Creek TMDL was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in
February 2018. Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires
expeditious implementation of TMDLs when appropriate. To restore water quality,
bacteria levels need to be reduced to the amount established in the TMDL. The TMDL
implementation plan should provide measurable goals and the date of expected
achievement of water quality objectives. The TMDL implementation plan should
also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs,
benefits, and environmental impacts. DEQ will collaborate with local
stakeholders to develop a TMDL implementation plan that meets these criteria.
How to comment and participate: All meetings in support of TMDL
implementation plan development are open to the public and all interested
parties are welcome. Written comments will be accepted through November 30,
2018, and should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person
submitting the comments. For more information, or to submit written comments, please
contact Sara Bottenfield, Department of Environmental Quality, Valley Regional
Office, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7872, FAX
