ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9909–06–Region 10] 

Proposed Reissuance of NPDES 

General Permit for Groundwater 

Remediation Discharge Facilities in 

Idaho (Permit Number IDG911000) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed reissuance of 

NPDES General Permit and request for 

public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 10 proposes to 

reissue a National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) General 

Permit for Groundwater Remediation 

Discharge Facilities in Idaho (GWGP). 

As proposed, the GWGP authorizes the 

discharge of groundwater from 

remediation sites to Waters of the U.S. 

within the State of Idaho from both 

facilities with existing coverage and 

new facilities interested in seeking 

coverage. The draft GWGP contains 

technology-based and water qualitybased effluent limitations for 

conventional and toxic water quality 

pollutants, along with administrative 

reporting and monitoring requirements, 

as well as standard conditions, 

prohibitions, and management 

practices. A fact sheet is available that 

explains the draft GWGP in detail. 

Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, 

33 U.S.C. 1341, requires EPA to seek a 

certification from the State of Idaho that 

the conditions of the GWGP are 

stringent enough to comply with State 

water quality standards. The Idaho 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(IDEQ) has provided a draft certification 

that the draft GWGP complies with State 

of Idaho Water Quality Standards 

(IDAPA 58.01.02), including the State’s 

antidegradation policy. EPA intends to 

seek a final certification from IDEQ 

prior to issuing the final GWGP. This is 

also notice of the draft § 401 

certification provided by IDEQ. Persons 

wishing to comment on the draft State 

certification should send written 

comments to Ms. Miranda Adams; Idaho 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

State Office, Surface Water Program; 

1410 North Hilton Street; Boise, Idaho 

83706 or via email to Miranda.Adams@

deq.idaho.gov 

DATES: The public comment period for 

the draft GWGP will be from the date of 

publication of this Notice until May 19, 

2014. Comments must be received or 

postmarked by no later than midnight 

Pacific Standard Time on May 19, 2014. 

All comments related to the draft GWGP 

and Fact Sheet received by EPA Region 

10 by the comment deadline will be 

considered prior to issuing the final 

GWGP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

currently expired Groundwater General 

Permit NPDES General Permit, No. 

IDG910000 (2007 Permit), was issued by 

EPA on July 1, 2007. The 2007 Permit 

expired on June 30, 2012. The 2007 

Permit remains in effect for those 

Permittees who obtained an 

administrative extension of the 

authorization to discharge before the 

permit expired. The current draft GWGP 

does not provide coverage for the 

discharge from mining operations. 

Those existing mining operations with 

an EPA administrative extension of 

coverage under the 2007 Permit may 

continue to operate under the 

limitations and conditions of the 2007 

Permit until such time as a new permit 

is issued for those facilities. 

In addition, EPA proposes to make the 

following major changes with the 

reissued permit: 

• Revised effluent limitations based 

on: 

1. Idaho’s newer (2006) WQS. (The 

2007 GWGP used Idaho’s 2005 WQS.) 

EPA calculated different water-quality 

based effluent limits (WQBELs) for 

receiving waters designated as a 

Domestic Water Supply (DWS) in 

accordance with the State of Idaho 

Surface Water Quality Standards at 

IDAPA 58.01.02; 

2. Minimum hardness values for 

hardness-dependent metals of 25 mg/L 

and 10 mg/L for cadmium; and, 

3. Requiring average monthly and 

maximum daily effluent limits for 

continuous dischargers, and daily 

maximum effluent limits for noncontinuous dischargers. 

• A provision requiring a BMP Plan, 

which is standard for industrial 

permittees. The last GWGP required an 

Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Plan. 

Those requirements have now been 

incorporated into the BMP Plan 

provision; 

• Requirements for more frequent 

monitoring and an expanded list of 

COCs to monitor; 

• A requirement to use NetDMR, 

which enables the electronic submission 

of monitoring data and monthly 

discharge monitoring reports to EPA 

and IDEQ. 

Other Legal Requirements 

Endangered Species Act [16 U.S.C. 

1531 et al.]. Section 7 of the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA) requires Federal 

agencies to consult with NOAA 

Fisheries (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) (the Services) 

if their actions have the potential to 

either beneficially or adversely affect 

any threatened or endangered species. 

The Draft GWGP does not authorize 

discharges from groundwater 

remediation facilities in Idaho to any 

receiving waters where federally listed 

threatened, endangered, or candidate 

species, or designated or proposed 

critical habitat, pursuant to the ESA, are 

present. ESA consultation will be 

required for individual situations where 

an applicant requests a waiver to 

discharge to a receiving water excluded 

from coverage for ESA reasons. 

Therefore, the EPA has evaluated the 

Draft GWGP and has made the 

determination that issuance of the 

GWGP will have no effect on any 

threatened, endangered, or candidate 

species; designated critical habitat, or 

essential fish habitat; and therefore, ESA 

consultation is not required. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] and 

Other Federal Requirements. 

Regulations at 40 CFR 122.49, list the 

federal laws that may apply to the 

issuance of permits i.e., ESA, National 

Historic Preservation Act, the Coastal 

Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments 

(CZARA), NEPA, and Executive Orders, 

among others. 

The NEPA compliance program 

requires analysis of information 

regarding potential impacts, 

development and analysis of options to 

avoid or minimize impacts; and 

development and analysis of measures 

to mitigate adverse impacts. 

Due to the fact that groundwater 

remediation facilities do not have any 

EPA-promulgated effluent limitation 

guidelines (ELGs) under CWA section 

304 or new source performance 

standards (NSPS) specific to their 

operation, EPA determined that no 

Environmental Assessments (EAs) or 

Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) 

are required under NEPA. Idaho is not 

located in the U.S. coastal zone, so 

CZARA does not apply. In addition, the 

GWGP will not authorize the 

construction of any water resources 

facility or the impoundment of any 

water body or have any effect on 

historical property, and does exclude 

receiving waters with ESA species 

present or with Wild and Scenic River 

designations. Therefore, EPA has 

determined that the Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act, 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq., 

and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, 16 

U.S.C. 470 et seq., also do not apply to 

the issuance of the GWGP. 

Essential Fish Habitat (EFH). The 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management 

and Conservation Act requires EPA to 

consult with NOAA–NMFS when a 

proposed discharge has the potential to 

adversely affect a designated EFH. The 

EFH regulations define an adverse effect 

as ‘‘any impact which reduces quality 

and/or quantity of EFH . . . [and] may 

include direct (e.g. contamination or 

physical disruption), indirect (e.g. loss 

of prey, reduction in species’ fecundity), 

site-specific or habitat-wide impacts, 

including individual, cumulative, or 

synergistic consequences of actions.’’ 

NMFS may recommend measures for 

attachment to the federal action to 

protect EFH; however, such 

recommendations are advisory, and not 

prescriptive in nature. 

EPA has determined that the issuance 

of this Draft GWGP has no effect on 

EFH. The Draft GWGP does not 

authorize discharges from groundwater 

remediation facilities in Idaho to any 

receiving waters where EFH has been 

designated. Coordination with NMFS 

will be required for individual 

situations where an applicant requests a 

waiver to discharge to a receiving water 

excluded from coverage for EFH 

reasons. Therefore, the EPA has 

evaluated the Draft GWGP and has made 

the determination that issuance of the 

GWGP will have no effect on EFH. If, 

during the course of the process it is 

determined that the discharge may need

552b(c)(8) and (9). 

‘‘extensive conservation requirements 

necessary to protect’’ EFH, the facility 

may need to apply for an individual 

permit. 

Executive Order 12866: The Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

exempts this action from the review 

requirements of Executive Order 12866 

pursuant to Section 6 of that order. 

Economic Impact [Executive Order 

12291]: The EPA has reviewed the effect 

of Executive Order 12291 on this Draft 

GWGP and has determined that it is not 

a major rule pursuant to that Order. 

Paperwork Reduction Act [44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.] The EPA has reviewed the 

requirements imposed on regulated 

facilities in the Draft GWGP and finds 

them consistent with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act [5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.] The Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (RFA) requires that EPA prepare an 

initial regulatory flexibility analysis for 

rules subject to the requirements of the 

Administrative Procedures Act [APA, 5 

U.S.C. 553] that have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. However, EPA has concluded 

that NPDES General Permits are not 

rulemakings under the APA, and thus 

not subject to APA rulemaking 

requirements or the RFA. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act: 

Section 201 of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act (UMRA), Public Law 104–4, 

generally requires Federal agencies to 

assess the effects of their regulatory 

actions (defined to be the same as rules 

subject to the RFA) on tribal, state, and 

local governments, and the private 

sector. However, General NPDES 

Permits are not rules subject to the 

requirements of the APA, and are, 

therefore, not subject to the UMRA. 

Authority: This action is taken under the 

authority of Section 402 of the Clean Water 

Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1342. I hereby 

provide public notice of the Draft Idaho 

GWGP in accordance with 40 CFR 124.10.
