Availability of Final Modifications to 

NPDES General Permits for 

Stormwater Discharges From Small 

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer 

Systems in Massachusetts and New

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of final 

permit modifications. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is providing a notice of 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Notices 81465 

availability (NOA) of final limited 

modifications to the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

general permits for discharges of 

stormwater from small Municipal 

Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) 

in Massachusetts and New Hampshire 

under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The 

final modifications represent the results 

of mediation supervised by the U.S. 

Court of Appeals for the District of 

Columbia Circuit Mediation Program 

between EPA and petitioners the 

National Association of Homebuilders 

(NAHB), the Home Builders and 

Remodelers Association of 

Massachusetts, Inc. (HBRAMA), the 

New Hampshire Home Builders 

Association (NHHBA), the Center for 

Regulatory Reasonableness (CRR), the 

Massachusetts Coalition for Water 

Resources Stewardship (MCWRS), the 

Town of Franklin, Massachusetts, 

(Franklin), the City of Lowell, 

Massachusetts (Lowell), the 

Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), 

and the Charles River Watershed 

Association (CRWA). In April 2020, 

EPA and the petitioners entered into 

settlement agreements that included 

commitments for EPA to propose certain 

modifications to the 2016 Massachusetts 

Small MS4 General Permit and the 2017 

New Hampshire Small MS4 General 

Permit, and then to take final action on 

each proposal. 

DATES: These final permit modifications 

are effective 30 days after signature. In 

accordance with 40 CFR part 23, this 

permit shall be considered issued for 

the purpose of judicial review at 1:00 

p.m. Eastern daylight time on December 

30, 2020. Under section 509(b) of the 

Clean Water Act, judicial review of 

these general permit modifications can 

be requested by filing a petition for 

review in the United States Court of 

Appeals within 120 days after the 

permit modifications are considered 

issued. Under section 509(b)(2) of the 

Clean Water Act, these permit 

modifications may not be challenged 

later in civil or criminal proceedings to 

enforce these requirements. In addition, 

these permit modifications may not be 

challenged in other agency proceedings. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R01–OW–2020–0216. All 

documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Final Permit Modifications 

A. Background on Litigation and 

Settlement Agreements 

On April 4, 2016, EPA issued a final 

NPDES general permit for discharges of 

stormwater from small MS4s in 

Massachusetts (the MA MS4 Permit) 

under CWA section 402(p). 33 U.S.C. 

1342(p). On July 18, 2016, CRR filed a 

petition for review of the permit in the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. 

Circuit. CLF, CRWA, MCWRS, Franklin, 

NAHB, HBRAMA, and the City of 

Lowell also filed petitions for review of 

the permit, all of which were 

consolidated with CRR’s petition in the 

D.C. Circuit. Center for Regulatory 

Reasonableness, et al. v. EPA, No. 16– 

1246 (D.C. Cir.) (2016 Massachusetts 

Small MS4 General Permit consolidated 

cases). On January 18, 2017, EPA issued 

a final NPDES general permit for 

discharges of stormwater from small 

MS4s in New Hampshire (the NH MS4 

Permit). On February 1, 2017, CLF filed 

a petition for review of the permit in the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the First 

Circuit. CRR, NAHB, and NHHBA later 

filed petitions for review in the D.C. 

Circuit. The First Circuit then 

transferred the CLF petition to the D.C. 

Circuit, where the D.C. Circuit 

consolidated it with the CRR, NAHB, 

and NHHBA petitions. Center for 

Regulatory Reasonableness et al. v. EPA, 

Conservation Law Foundation, 

Intervenor No. 17–1060 (D.C. Cir.) (2017 

New Hampshire Small MS4 General 

Permit consolidated cases). The parties 

to both cases entered mediation in 2017, 

and the D.C. Circuit held the cases in 

abeyance. On December 27, 2019, EPA 

published three proposed settlement 

agreements in the Federal Register for a 

30-day public comment period. See 

‘‘Proposed Settlement Agreements, 

Clean Water Act Claims,’’ 84 FR 71407 

(Dec. 27, 2019). EPA’s planned 

proposed permit modifications to the 

Massachusetts and New Hampshire 

permits and statements of basis 

describing those proposed modifications 

were attached as Exhibits A and B to the 

Massachusetts and New Hampshire 

proposed settlement agreements. EPA 

and the petitioners executed the 

Massachusetts and New Hampshire 

settlement agreements on April 15, 

2020. The first two settlement 

agreements describe the modifications 

that EPA proposed to the MA MS4 

Permit and NH MS4 Permit. 

Pursuant to the settlement 

agreements, the proposed permit 

modifications reflected the substantive 

agreements that parties reached during 

mediation. In the settlement agreements, 

the petitioners agreed not to submit 

adverse public comments on the Draft 

Permit Modifications, except that the 

Petitioners reserved their rights to 

submit any form of comment on EPA’s 

proposed modification to Part 2.3.6.a of 

the NH MS4 permit and on the 

definitions of ‘‘new development’’ and 

‘‘redevelopment’’ in NH MS4 permit 

Appendix A. The agreements specified 

that EPA would take final action on 

each proposed modification within nine 

months of posting the NOA of the Draft 

Permit Modifications on its website and 

in the Federal Register (that is, by 

January 23, 2021); that petitioners 

would then dismiss their current 

petitions for review with prejudice; and 

that petitioners agreed not to challenge 

EPA’s respective final actions if they 

modify the permits in a manner 

substantially similar to the proposed 

modifications (with one exception, 

discussed in the New Hampshire 

settlement agreement). The third 

settlement agreement commits Lowell, 

Massachusetts, to voluntarily dismiss its 

petition without prejudice and commits 

EPA to process Lowell’s individual 

permit application and then to take final 

action on Lowell’s individual permit 

application. Today’s notice includes the 

final MA MS4 and NH MS4 permit 

modifications. Lowell filed a joint 

stipulation to voluntarily dismiss its 

petition on July 15, 2020. EPA will 

propose an individual permit for Lowell 

in a separate action. 

B. Final Permit Modifications 

EPA published the proposed permit 

modifications on April 23, 2020. See 85 

FR 22735 (Apr. 23, 2020). The public 

comment period for these proposals 

closed on June 8, 2020. EPA received 21 

public comments. EPA reopened, 

reexamined, and accepted comments on 

only the parts of the MA MS4 and NH 

MS4 permits that the proposed 

modifications specified. In the MA MS4 

permit, the following permit parts were 

the only parts open for modification and 

comment: Parts 2.0; 2.1; 2.1.1; 2.1.2.a; 

2.2.; 2.2.2; 2.3.3; 2.3.5; 2.3.6; 2.3.7.a; 

2.3.7.b; 4.1; 4.4; Appendix F part A.I; 

Appendix F part A.II; Appendix F 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
81466 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Notices 

Attachments 2 and 3; and Appendix H. 

In the NH MS4 permit, the following 

permit parts were the only parts open 

for modification and comment: 2.0; 2.1; 

2.1.1; 2.1.2.a; 2.2.; 2.2.2 (paragraphs 2 

and 3); 2.3.3.1; 2.3.5; 2.3.5.3; 2.3.6.a; 

2.3.7.2.b.iii; 3.1.3; 4.1.4; 4.4.2.3; 

Appendix A; Appendix F part III and 

Attachment 3; and Appendix H. The 

modifications provide either enhanced 

clarity regarding permit terms or greater 

flexibility in permit implementation. 

EPA prepared Statements of Basis that 

fully explained the proposed 

modifications. See www.regulations.gov 

Docket document EPA–R01–OW–2020– 

0216–0002, ‘‘Statement of Basis for 

Massachusetts Small MS4 General 

Permit 2020 Modifications,’’ and 

document EPA–R01–OW–2020–0216– 

0005, ‘‘Statement of Basis for New 

Hampshire Small MS4 General Permit 

2020 Modifications.’’ EPA has 

considered all significant public 

comments on the permit sections that 

were open for proposed modification. 

The docket also contains a 

Memorandum to the Record discussing 

the potential impacts of the permit 

modifications and the Response to 

Comments documents for the 

Massachusetts and New Hampshire 

permits. Based on public comments, 

EPA plans to finalize the permits as 

proposed, except for the following 

changes: 

Massachusetts Small MS4 General 

Permit 

• EPA updated the typographical 

error in Appendix F, Table F–6. Grafton 

and Shrewsbury have the same required 

percent reduction of 49% for 

phosphorus from urban stormwater 

sources for Flint Pond and Lake 

Quinsigamond. 

• EPA updated the permit language to 

clarify that Part 6.5 is not applicable to 

the MA Department of Conservation and 

Recreation, which has its own 

phosphorus reduction requirements, as 

indicated in Appendix F Part A.I of the 

permit. 

New Hampshire Small MS4 General 

Permit 

• The proposed modifications to Part 

2.3.6 (post-construction stormwater 

minimum control measures) attempted 

to rely on the Southeast Watershed 

Alliance (SWA) model ordinances, a 

successful local program as described in 

the Statement of Basis, but erred in 

requiring some pieces of the SWA 

Model Ordinance to be adopted by SWA 

communities and others to be adopted 

by non-SWA communities. In response 

to comments noting confusion as to 

which requirements applied to which 

communities, EPA has updated the 

language in Part 2.3.6 to remove the 

different requirements for those 

communities in and out of the SWA. 

Consistent with the option in the 2017 

NH MS4 Permit, the final permit 

modification requires that all New 

Hampshire permittees—those in the 

SWA and those outside the SWA— 

adopt a regulatory mechanism that is at 

least as stringent as SWA Model 

Standards Section 4 Element C and 

Element D in their entirety. 

EPA has emailed notifications of the 

Final Permit Modifications to regulated 

parties, parties to this mediation, and 

other interested parties on EPA Region 

1’s NPDES permit mailing list. The 

official public docket for this action, 

EPA–R01–OW–2020–0216, contains 

copies of the final permits, response to 

comments documents, a memorandum 

describing economic impacts of the 

modifications, and other supporting 

material. An electronic version of the 

public docket is available through 

www.regulations.gov. These documents 

are also posted on EPA Region 1’s 

website at https://www.epa.gov/npdespermits/npdes-stormwater-permitprogram-newengland#smallms4program. The official
