This proposal is available electronically through the Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) website (http://www.dep.state.pa.us).
C. Statutory and Regulatory Authority
This final-form rulemaking is being made under the authority of sections 5(b)(1) and 402 of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.5(b)(1) and 691.402), which authorize the Board to develop and adopt rules and regulations to implement The Clean Streams Law and section 1920-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 510-20), which grants to the Board the power and duty to formulate, adopt and promulgate rules and regulations for the proper performance of the work of the Department. In addition, section 303 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1313) sets forth requirements for water quality standards and 40 CFR 131.32 (relating to Pennsylvania) which sets forth certain requirements for portions of the Commonwealth's antidegradation program.
D. Background of the Amendments
Water quality standards are in-stream water quality goals that are implemented by imposing specific regulatory requirements (such as treatment requirements and effluent limits) on individual sources of pollution.
The Department considers candidates for High Quality (HQ) or Exceptional Value (EV) Waters designation in its ongoing review of water quality standards. In general, HQ and EV waters shall be maintained at their existing quality, and wastewater treatment requirements shall ensure the attainment of designated and existing uses. The Department may identify candidates during routine waterbody investigations. Requests for consideration may also be initiated by other agencies, such as the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission). Organizations, businesses or individuals may submit a rulemaking petition to the Board. These streams were evaluated in response to a submittal from the Commission under § 93.4b (relating to qualifiying as High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters). Section 93.4b(a)(2)(ii) is the Class A wild trout stream qualifier. It states that a surface water that has been designated a Class A wild trout stream by the Commission following public notice and comment qualifies for HQ designation. The Commission published notice and requested comments on the Class A designation of these streams at 29 Pa.B. 4624 (August 28, 1999) and 29 Pa.B. 4831 (September 11, 1999). The Commissioners approved these waters on September 27, 1999, and this action was announced at 29 Pa.B. 6202 (December 4, 1999).
Department staff conducted an independent review of the trout biomass data in the fisheries management reports for these streams. This review was conducted to ensure that the Class A criteria were met.
Copies of the Commission's fisheries management reports for these waterbodies are available from Edward R. Brezina whose address and telephone number are listed in Section B of this Preamble.
E. Summary of Comments and Responses on the Proposed Rulemaking
A total of 145 form letters were received by e-mail in support of the redesignations. The letters read, in part, ''I am writing to show my support for your current proposal to add over 100 segments of waterways to the state's Special Protection Waters Program. Working to protect the state's waterways is an important part of protecting Pennsylvania's natural heritage and safeguarding our streams from potential pollution and degradation.'' The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 submitted a letter indicating that they had no comments on the proposed rulemaking and they commended the Department for its continuing efforts to upgrade streams.
F. Summary of Changes to the Proposed Rulemaking
No changes were made to the proposed rulemaking.
G. Benefits, Costs and Compliance
Executive Order 1996-1 requires a cost /benefit analysis of the amendments.
1. Benefits. Overall, the citizens of this Commonwealth will benefit from these recommended changes because they will reflect the appropriate designated use and maintain the most appropriate degree of protection for each stream in accordance with the existing use of the stream.
2. Compliance Costs. Generally, the changes should have no fiscal impact on, or create additional compliance costs for the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions. The streams are already protected at their existing use, and therefore the designated use changes will have no impact on treatment requirements. Costs will not be imposed directly upon local governments by this recom-mendation. Political subdivisions that add a new sewage treatment plant or expand an existing plant in these basins may experience changes in cost as noted in this Preamble in the discussion of impacts on the private sector.
Persons conducting or proposing activities or projects that result in new or expanded discharges to streams must comply with the regulatory requirements relating to designated and existing uses. These persons could be adversely affected if they expand a discharge or add a new discharge point since they may need to provide a higher level of treatment to meet the designated and existing uses of the stream. These increased costs may take the form of higher engineering, construction or operating costs for wastewater treatment facilities. Treatment costs are site-specific and depend upon the size of the discharge in relation to the size of the stream and many other factors. It is therefore not possible to precisely predict the actual change in costs.
3. Compliance Assistance Plan. The regulatory revisions have been developed as part of an established program that has been implemented by the Department since the early 1980s. The revisions are consistent with and based on existing Department regulations. The revisions extend additional protection to selected waterbodies that exhibit high water quality and are consistent with antidegradation requirements established by the Federal Clean Water Act and The Clean Streams Law. Surface waters in this Commonwealth are afforded a minimum level of protection through compliance with the water quality standards, which prevent pollution and protect existing water uses.
The amendments will be implemented through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program since the stream use designation is a major basis for determining allowable stream discharge effluent limitations. These permit conditions are established to assure water quality criteria are achieved and designated and existing uses are protected. New and expanding dischargers with water quality based effluent limitations are required to provide effluent treatment according to the water quality criteria associated with existing uses and revised designated water uses.
4. Paperwork Requirements. The regulatory revisions should have no direct paperwork impact on the Commonwealth, local governments and political subdivisions or the private sector. These regulatory revisions are based on existing Department regulations and simply mirror the existing use protection that is already in place for these streams. There may be some indirect paperwork requirements for new or expanding dischargers to streams upgraded to HQ. For example, NPDES general permits are not currently available for new or expanded discharges to these streams. Thus an individual permit, and its associated paperwork, would be required. Additionally, paperwork associated with demonstrating social and economic justification, and the nonfeasibility of nondischarge alternatives, will be required for new or expanded discharges to certain HQ Waters.
H. Pollution Prevention
The antidegradation program is a major pollution prevention tool because its objective is to prevent degradation by maintaining and protecting existing water quality and existing uses. Although the antidegradation program does not prohibit new or expanded wastewater dis-charges, nondischarge alternatives are encouraged, and required when environmentally sound and cost effective. Nondischarge alternatives, when implemented, remove impacts to surface water and reduce the overall level of pollution to the environment by remediation of the effluent through the soil.
I. Sunset Review
This final-form rulemaking will be reviewed in accordance with the sunset review schedule published by the Department to determine whether the regulations effectively fulfill the goals for which they were intended.
J. Regulatory Review
Under section 5(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5(a)), on November 27, 2001, the Department submitted a copy of the proposed rulemaking to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) and to the Chairpersons of the Senate and House Environmental Resources and Energy Committees for review and comment.
Under section 5(c) of the Regulatory Review Act, the Department also provided IRRC and the Committees with copies of the comments received, as well as other documentation. In preparing this final-form rulemaking, the Department has considered all comments received from the public. IRRC and the Committees did not provide comments on the proposed rulemaking.
Under section 5.1(d) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5(d)), the final-form rulemaking was deemed approved by the House and Senate Committees on August 13, 2002. IRRC met on August 22, 2002, and approved the final-form rulemaking in accordance with section 5.1(e) of the Regulatory Review Act.
K. Findings
The Board finds that:
(1) Public notice of proposed rulemaking was given under sections 201 and 202 of the act of July 31, 1968 (P. L. 769, No. 240) (45 P. S. §§ 1201 and 1202) and regulations promulgated thereunder, 1 Pa. Code §§ 7.1 and 7.2.
(2) A public comment period was provided as required by law, and all comments were considered.
(3) This final-form rulemaking does not enlarge the purpose of the proposal published at 31 Pa.B 6678 (December 8, 2001).
(4) This final-form rulemaking is necessary and appropriate for administration and enforcement of the authorizing acts identified in Section C of this Preamble.
(5) This final-form rulemaking does not contain standards or requirements that exceed requirements of the companion Federal regulations.
