    CEMETERY BOARD

    Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

    Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Cemetery Board conducted a small business impact review of 18VAC47-11, Public Participation Guidelines and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Cemetery Board is publishing its report of findings dated October 21, 2015, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

    Code of Virginia § 2.2-4007.02 mandates the agency to solicit the input of interested parties in the formation and development of its regulations. Therefore, the continued need for the regulation is established in statute. The regulation is necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare by establishing Public Participation Guidelines that promote public involvement in the development, amendment, or repeal of an agency's regulation. By soliciting the input of interested parties, the agency is better equipped to effectively regulate the occupation or profession. Since no complaints or comments were received during the public comment period, there does not appear to be a reason to amend or repeal the regulation. The regulation is clearly written and easily understandable. The regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or contravene federal or state law or regulation. The most recent periodic review of the regulation occurred in 2012. On October 21, 2015, the board discussed the regulation and, for the reasons stated in this section, determined that the regulation should not be amended or repealed, but should be retained in its current form.

    Small Business Impact Review - Report of Findings

    Pursuant to § 2.2-4007.1 of the Code of Virginia, the Cemetery Board conducted a small business impact review of 18VAC47-20, Cemetery Board Rules and Regulations and determined that this regulation should be retained in its current form. The Cemetery Board is publishing its report of findings dated October 21, 2015, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

    Section 54.1-201.5 of the Code of Virginia mandates the Cemetery Board to promulgate regulations. The continued need for the regulation is established in statute. Repeal of the regulation would remove the current public protections provided by the regulation. The Cemetery Board provides protection to the safety and welfare of the citizens of the Commonwealth by ensuring that only those individuals who meet specific criteria set forth in the statutes and regulations are eligible to receive a cemetery company license and sales personnel registration. The board is also tasked with ensuring that its regulants meet standards of practice that are set forth in the regulations. No comments or complaints were received during the public comment period. The regulation is clearly written, easily understandable, and does not overlap, duplicate, or conflict with federal or state law or regulation. The most recent evaluation occurred in 2012. The board discussed the regulation and, for the reasons stated in this section, determined that the regulation should not be amended or repealed, but should be retained in its current form.

    DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

    Opportunity for Public Comment - Draft Coastal Enhancement Strategies

    The Virginia Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program has prepared Draft Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program Coastal Enhancement Strategies. The strategies were developed using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's  Section 309 Guidance issued in January 2013.

    The Virginia CZM Program began its 2016-2020 Coastal Zone Enhancement Process in fall of 2014 by distributing to its partners a Virginia Coastal Needs Assessment and Prioritization Survey. The results of this survey were shared at the December 2014 Virginia Coastal Partners Workshop, which included attendees from regional, local, and state agencies; academic institutions; nongovernmental organizations; marine-related businesses; and individuals who help manage and protect Virginia's coastal resources. During the course of the workshop, attendees heard presentations on critical or evolving coastal resource management issues and helped prioritize which areas should be considered the highest priorities for the Virginia CZM Program and the focus of Coastal Enhancement (Section 309) strategies for the coming 2016-2020 cycle.

    Virginia CZM Program staff then presented recommendations to the Virginia Coastal Policy Team (CPT) in February 2015. The CPT approved staff recommendations to develop strategies in the following three "High Priority" areas:

    • Ocean management

    • Coastal hazards

    • Cumulative and seconday impacts of coastal development

    The department is now seeking comment on the draft strategies. The draft strategies can be reviewed in the Section 309 Coastal Needs Assessment & Strategy document on the department's website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Portals/0/DEQ/CoastalZoneManagement/FundsInitiativesProjects/section309VACZM2016-2020needsassessandstrategies.pdf.

    Total Maximum Daily Loads for Walker Creek, Town Creek, East Wilderness Creek, Nobusiness Creek, Kimberling Creek, and Little Walker Creek

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for Walker Creek, Town Creek, East Wilderness Creek, Nobusiness Creek, Kimberling Creek, and Little Walker Creek in Bland and Giles Counties. These streams are listed on the 2012 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's water quality standards for bacteria. 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: 33.53 miles of Walker Creek from the Route 52 crossing to the confluence with Kimberling Creek; 4.40 miles of Town Creek from the headwaters downstream to the confluence with Crab Orchard Creek; 3.35 miles of East Wilderness Creek from the confluence with Wolf Pen Branch upstream 3.2 miles; 4.88 miles of Kimberling Creek from the Hiram Thompson Branch confluence upstream to Hazel Branch; 6.72 miles of Nobusiness Creek from the confluence with Kimberling Creek upstream 6.4 miles.

    The final public meeting on the development of the TMDL to address the bacteria impairments for these segments will be held on November 19, 2015, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Bland County Public Library located at 697 Main Street, Bland, VA 24315.

    The public comment period will begin November 19, 2015, and end December 21, 2015.

    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 or information requests 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 martha.chapman@deq.virginia.gov.
