STATE WATER CONTROL BOARD
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 11 new total maximum daily load (TMDL) wasteload allocations.
Public comment period: January 20, 2020, through February 19, 2020.
Description of proposed action: DEQ staff will propose amendments of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation for the Potomac-Shenandoah River Basin (9VAC25-720-50 A) and James River Basin (9VAC25-720-60 A). Statutory authority for promulgating these amendments can be found in § 62.1-44.15 of the Code of Virginia.
Staff intends to recommend (i) that the board approve the two TMDL reports as the plan for the pollutant reductions necessary for attainment of water quality goals in the impaired segments, (ii) that the board authorize inclusion of the two TMDL reports in the appropriate water quality management plan, and (iii) that the board adopt 11 new TMDL wasteload allocations (WLAs) as part of the state's Water Quality Management Planning Regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4006 A 14 and 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 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval due to amendments outlined in § 2.2-4006 A 14 of the Code of Virginia. The two TMDL reports in this public notice have been reviewed by the 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.
