DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION

Notice of Public Meeting and Public Comment

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a total maximum daily load implementation plan (TMDL IP) for the Spout Run, Page Brook and Roseville Run watersheds in Clarke County and the Towns of Millwood and Boyce. Spout Run was first listed as impaired on Virginia's 1998 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for fecal coliform and the general standard (benthic) for aquatic life. Page Brook was added to the § 303(d) list for violations of the fecal coliform water quality standard in 2004, while Roseville Run was listed as impaired for violations of the bacteria standard for E. coli in 2010. The impaired segment of Spout Run (bacteria and benthic) extends from the confluence of Page Brook and Roseville Run to its confluence with the Shenandoah River (3.7 miles). The impaired segment of Page Brook begins at the creek's headwaters and extends down to its confluence with Roseville Run (8.78 miles). The impaired segment of Roseville Run extends the length of the stream, from the headwaters downstream to its confluence with Page Brook (3.94 miles).

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. In addition, § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an IP for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. TMDLs were completed for these streams by the DEQ in June 2010 and were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in December 2010. Development of a TMDL implementation plan by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation began in April 2012.

The second and final public meeting on the development of this TMDL implementation plan will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2012, at 6 p.m. at The Powhatan School, located at 49 Powhatan Lane, Boyce, VA 22620. A meal will be provided to meeting participants, so it is requested that interested parties RSVP to Bob Slusser (telephone [phone] or email [e-mail]). The implementation plan will be available on the DEQ website the day after the meeting for public comment: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLDevelopment/DraftTMDLReports.aspx.

The public comment period for the IP will end on January 4, 2013. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Nesha McRae, Department of Conservation and Recreation, P.O. Box 1, Verona, VA 24482, telephone [phone], FAX [phone], or email [e-mail].

Notice of Public Meeting and Public Comment

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of a total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plan for the Linville Creek watershed in Rockingham County and the Town of Broadway. Linville Creek was first listed as impaired on the Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report due to violations of the state's water quality standard for bacteria and the general water quality standard for aquatic life (benthic impairment) in 1998. The creek has remained on the § 303(d) list for these impairments since then. Both impairment designations on Linville Creek begin at the headwaters and extend 13.55 miles to its confluence with the North Fork of the Shenandoah River.

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. In addition, § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an implementation plan (IP) for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. Bacteria and benthic TMDLs were completed by the DEQ for Linville Creek in March 2003 and were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency in September 2003. The TMDL report is available for review on the VADEQ website at: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/portals/0/DEQ/Water/
TMDL/apptmdls/shenrvr/linville.pdf.

The first public meeting on the development of this TMDL Implementation Plan will be held on Tuesday, November 27, 2012, at 7 p.m. at the Linville Edom Ruritan Hall, 3752 Linville Edom Road, Linville, VA 22834.

The public comment period for the first public meeting will end on December 31, 2012. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Nesha McRae, Department of Conservation and Recreation, P.O. Box 1, Verona, VA 24482, telephone [phone], FAX [phone], or email [e-mail].

Environmental Permit - Bedford County, Virginia

Purpose of notice: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a permit to limit air pollution emitted by a facility in Bedford County, Virginia. The Commonwealth intends to submit the permit as a revision to its state implementation plan (SIP) in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP is the plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether the amended permit should be submitted as a revision to the SIP.

Public comment period: November 19, 2012, through December 19, 2012.

State public hearing procedure: Interested persons may request a public hearing. The request must be made in writing to the contact listed below and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and of all people represented by the requester. The request must also include: (i) the reason why a public hearing is requested; (ii) a brief statement setting forth the factual nature and extent of interest in the proposed permit, including how the operation of the facility affects the requester; and (iii) specific references to applicable terms and conditions of concern as well as suggested revisions. A public hearing may be held as required by § 10.1-1322.01 of the Code of Virginia if at least 25 requests are received in accordance with these procedures. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice, and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.

Federal public hearing procedure: Interested persons may request a public hearing. The request must be made in writing to the contact listed below and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and of all people represented by the requester. A public hearing will be held as required by 40 CFR 51.102(a) if a request is received in accordance with these procedures. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.

Permit name: State operating permit issued by DEQ, under the authority of the State Air Pollution Control Board.

Name, address and registration number: GP Big Island, LLC, 9363 Lee Jackson Highway, Big Island, Virginia 24526, Registration No. 30389.

Description of proposal: Virginia's regional haze regulation is found in Article 52 (9VAC5-40-7550 et seq.) of 9VAC5-40, Existing Stationary Sources. This regulation provides guidance for determining Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) as required by 40 CFR 51.302, 40 CFR 51.308 and Appendix Y to 40 CFR Part 51. BART is required for any BART-eligible source which emits any air pollutant which may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute to visibility impairment in any federal Class I area. BART is an emission limitation based on the degree of reduction achievable through application of the best system of continuous emission reduction for each visibility-impairing pollutant emitted by an existing stationary facility established on a case-by-case basis. GP Big Island, LLC is subject to these requirements, has undergone a BART analysis resulting in the application of BART controls, and has obtained a state operating permit containing BART controls which was submitted to EPA as a SIP revision on July 17, 2008. Subsequently, GP Big Island, LLC and the department joined a mutual determination of permanent shutdown of an individual unit consisting of the No. 4 Power Boiler.

The current proposed revision consists of (i) the mutual and final determination between the source and the department, signed on January 5, 2012, that the No. 4 Power Boiler is permanently shut down and (ii) the associated state operating permit revised and issued on October 5, 2012, as the administrative mechanism to ensure continuing compliance with BART requirements. The permit was issued pursuant to Article 52 (9VAC5-40-7550 et seq.) of 9VAC5-40 (Existing Stationary Sources) and Article 5 (9VAC5-80-800 et seq.) of 9VAC5-80 (Permits for Stationary Sources) of state regulations. Because the permit has been issued, DEQ is accepting comment only on whether the amended permit should be submitted as a revision to the SIP and not on the content of the permit.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102). The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, written comments must include the full name, address and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. All materials received are part of the public record.

To review proposal: The proposal and any supporting documents are available on the DEQ Air Public Notices for Plans website: http://www.deq.state.va.us/Programs/Air/PublicNotices/airplansandprograms.aspx. The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ representative named below. The public may review the documents between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. of each business day until the close of the public comment period at the following DEQ locations:

Environmental Permit - Henrico County, Virginia

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed plan regarding air pollution emitted by a facility in Henrico County, Virginia. The Commonwealth intends to submit the plan as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia state implementation plan (SIP) in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP is the plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act.

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments and announcing a public hearing on a proposed permit to limit air pollution emitted by a facility in Henrico County, Virginia.

Public comment period: October 31, 2012, to November 30, 2012.

Public hearing: Conference Room, DEQ Piedmont Regional Office, 4949-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA, at 9 a.m. on November 30, 2012. A question and answer period will be held one half hour prior to the beginning of the public hearing.

Permit name: State Operating Permit issued by DEQ, under the authority of the State Air Pollution Control Board.

Name, address and registration number: Kraft Foods Global, Inc., Richmond Bakery, 6002 South Laburnum Avenue, Richmond, VA 23231, Registration No. 50703.

Description of proposal: The proposed revision consists of a determination of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for the control of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to the atmosphere from the Kraft Foods bakery located in the Henrico County, Virginia portion of the Richmond Ozone Maintenance Area. The RACT determination is being made pursuant to 9VAC5-40-7370 of state regulations. A state operating permit is being issued as an administrative mechanism to enforce the RACT determination. The permit is being issued pursuant to Article 5 (9VAC5-80-800 et seq.) of 9VAC5-80 (Permit for Stationary Sources) of state regulations and is federally enforceable upon issuance.

A permit was issued to Kraft Foods Global by DEQ on September 19, 2007. This permit contained the RACT for the control of VOC emissions and specified certain operating conditions for the facility's Oven #1 and respective catalytic oxidizer. In an application received on August 31, 2012, Kraft Foods Global requested changes to the permit, including changes needed to accommodate replacement of the catalytic oxidizer with a more efficient regenerative thermal oxidizer. While Kraft is requesting a change in the type of control device, VOC emissions will not be affected as a result of the change because the destruction efficiency of the control device will remain the same.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102). The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax and postal mail. In order to be considered, written comments must include the full name, address and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ on the last day of the comment period. Both oral and written comments are accepted at the public hearing. DEQ prefers that comments be provided in writing, along with any supporting documents or exhibits. All information received is part of the public record. Please note the proposed permit is being concurrently reviewed by EPA.

To review proposal: The proposal and any supporting documents are available on the DEQ Air Public Notices for Plans website: http://www.deq.state.va.us/Programs/Air/PublicNotices/airplansandprograms.aspx. The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ representative named below.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Request for Public Comment - Boundaries of Planning Districts

The Regional Cooperation Act, passed by the General Assembly in 1995, places great emphasis on the planning district commissions serving as a forum for discussion of regional issues and identification of ways to promote regional cooperation. Section 36-139.7 of the Code of Virginia requires that the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) conduct a periodic review of the boundaries of planning districts. It requires that DHCD consider, at a minimum, the following criteria:

1. Recognition of communities of interest among the governmental subdivisions;

2. Recognition of common economic and market interests;

3. Ease of communications and commissioner travel time;

4. Federal metropolitan statistical area boundaries;

5. A population base adequate to ensure financial viability;

6. Geographic factors and natural boundaries; and

7. The wishes of the governmental subdivisions within or surrounding the planning district, as expressed by resolution of the governing body.

DHCD will conduct its review in two phases: a period of written public comment and, if warranted, public hearings. 

Written public comment: This notice begins the period for written public comment. Letters should concisely address the need for retaining or modifying the current boundaries of a given planning district using the criteria outlined above or other factors that affect the viability or effectiveness of the planning district commission in carrying out its duties. The deadline for written public comment is December 19, 2012. Comments should either be emailed to [e-mail] or addressed to Susan B. Williams, Local Government Policy Manager, Department of Housing and Community Development, Main Street Centre, 600 East Main Street, Suite 300, Richmond, VA 23219.

In the event that there are sufficient and compelling requests for boundary adjustments, DHCD will conduct public hearings within the affected planning districts. DHCD staff will consider all comments received through written responses and public hearings and, subject to the provisions of the Administrative Process Act, make adjustments to the boundaries of planning districts as it deems advisable.

Any such hearings will be advertised in local newspapers and notices will be sent to local government and planning district offices. The purpose of such hearings will be to gather information from local officials, organizations and residents as to why a boundary adjustment is warranted and the advantages such an adjustment would provide to each affected planning district in order to ensure that all affected parties have had adequate opportunity to share their views and perspectives on any proposed adjustment.

For additional information, please contact Susan Williams by regular mail at the address provided above; by email at [e-mail], or by telephone at [phone].
