2181 Stream redesignations (Class A wild trout waters)

[25 PA. CODE CH. 93]

Stream Redesignations (Class A Wild Trout Waters)

[31 Pa.B. 6678]

   The Environmental Quality Board (Board) proposes to amend Chapter 93 (relating to water quality standards) to read as set forth in Annex A.

   This order was adopted by the Board at its meeting of October 16, 2001.

A.  Effective Date

   These proposed amendments will be effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin as a final-form rulemaking.

B.  Contact Persons

   For further information, contact Edward R. Brezina, Chief, Division of Water Quality Assessment and Standards, Bureau of Water Supply and Wastewater Management, 10th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8467, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8467, [phone]; or Michelle Moses, Assistant Counsel, Bureau of Regulatory Counsel, 9th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8464, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8464, [phone]. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling [phone] (TDD users) or [phone] (voice users). 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

   The proposed amendments are made under the authority of the following acts: sections 5(b)(1) and 402 of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.5(b)(1) and 691.402) and section 1920-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 510-20), which grant to the Board the authority to develop and adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions of The Clean Streams Law. In addition, the Federal regulation in 40 CFR 131.32 (relating to Pennsylvania) sets forth certain requirements for portions of the Commonwealth's antidegradation program.

D.  Background of the Amendments

   The Commonwealth's Water Quality Standards, which are set forth in part in Chapter 93, implement sections 5 and 402 of The Clean Streams Law and section 303 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §  1313). 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 must be maintained at their existing quality. 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 (FBC). In addition, organizations, businesses or individuals may submit a rulemaking petition to the Board.

   These streams were evaluated in response to a submittal from the FBC under § 93.4b (relating to qualifying 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 FBC following public notice and comment qualifies for HQ designation. The FBC 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 FBC 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 FBC 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.

   While preparing Annex A, the Department became aware of two streams that are not listed in Chapter 93. They are Fallentimber Run, a tributary to Clearfield Creek (Drainage List L) and Hungry Run, a tributary to Kishacoquillas Creek (Drainage List N). These streams have been included in Annex A as additions to the appropriate drainage list and have been given the same use designation as the other listed tributaries in the reach into which they flow. In addition, an error was found in the listing of a tributary to Pohopoco Creek (Drainage List D). The drainage list indicated that Dotters Creek is a tributary to Pohopoco Creek, when it is actually a tributary to Middle Creek, which then flows into Pohopoco Creek. Annex A correctly lists Middle Creek as tributary to Pohopoco Creek.

E.  Benefits, Costs and Compliance

   Executive Order 1996-1 requires a cost/benefit analysis of the proposed 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. No costs will be imposed directly upon local governments by this recommendation. Political subdivisions that add a new sewage treatment plant or expand an existing plant in these basins may experience changes in costs as noted in the discussion of impacts on the private sector in this Preamble.

   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 proposed amendments 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 exceptional 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 proposed 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 expanded 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 proposed amendments should have no direct paperwork impact on the Commonwealth, local governments and political subdivisions or the private sector. These proposed amendments 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, may be required for new or expanded discharges to certain HQ Waters.

F.  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 discharges, 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.

G.  Sunset Review

   The proposed amendments will be reviewed in accordance with the sunset review schedule published by the Department to determine whether the regulation effectively fulfills the goals for which it was intended.

H.  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 this proposed rulemaking to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) and the Chairpersons of the Senate and House Environmental Resources and Energy Committees. In addition to submitting the proposed rulemaking, the Department has provided IRRC and the Committees with a copy of a detailed Regulatory Analysis Form prepared by the Department in compliance with Executive Order 1996-1, ''Regulatory Review and Promulgation.'' A copy of this material is available to the public upon request.

   Under section 5(g) of the Regulatory Review Act, if IRRC has objections to any portion of the proposed rulemaking, it will notify the Department within 10 days of the close of the Committees' review period. The notification shall specify the regulatory review criteria that have not been met by the portion of the proposed rulemaking to which an objection is made. The Regulatory Review Act specifies detailed procedures for review, prior to final publication of the rulemaking, by the Department, the General Assembly and the Governor.

I.  Public Comments

   Written Comments--Interested persons are invited to submit comments, suggestions or objections regarding the proposed amendments to the Environmental Quality Board, P. O. Box 8477, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477 (express mail: Rachel Carson State Office Building, 15th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101-2301). Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. The Board must receive comments by January 22, 2002. Interested persons may also submit a summary of their comments to the Board. The summary may not exceed one page in length and must also be received by January 22, 2002. The one page summary will be provided to each member of the Board in the agenda packet distributed prior to the meeting at which the proposed amendments will be considered. If sufficient interest is generated as a result of this publication, a public hearing will be scheduled at an appropriate location to receive additional comments.

   Electronic Comments--Comments may be submitted electronically to the Board at [e-mail]. A subject heading of the proposal and return name and address must be included in each transmission. The Board must also receive comments submitted electronically by January 22, 2002.
