Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Availability of List Decisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s Responsiveness 

Summary Concerning EPA’s March 31, 

2005 Public Notice of Final Decisions to 

Add Waters and Pollutants to 

Louisiana’s 2002 and 2004 Section 

303(d) Lists. 

On April 12, 2005, EPA published a 

notice in the Federal Register at Volume 

70, Number 69, pages 19079–19080 

providing the public the opportunity to 

review its final decisions to add waters 

and pollutants to Louisiana’s 2002 and 

2004 Section 303(d) Lists as required by 

EPA’s Public Participation regulations 

(40 CFR Part 25). Based on the 

Responsiveness Summary, no further 

action is warranted regarding EPA’s 

Final Action on Louisiana’s 2002 and 

2004 Section 303(d) Lists. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of EPA’s 

Responsiveness Summary Concerning 

EPA’s March 31, 2005 Public Notice of 

Final Decisions to Add Waters and 

Pollutants to Louisiana’s 2002 and 2004 

Section 303(d) Lists can be obtained at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 

requires that each state identify those 

waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not 

stringent enough to attain or maintain 

state water quality standards. For those 

waters, states are required to establish 

Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) 

according to a priority ranking. 

EPA’s Water Quality Planning and 

Management regulations include 

requirements related to the 

implementation of Section 303(d) of the 

CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations 

require states to identify water quality 

limited waters still requiring TMDLs 

every two years. The list of waters still 

needing TMDLs must also include 

priority rankings and must identify the 

waters targeted for TMDL development 

during the next two years (40 CFR 

130.7). On March 31, 2000, EPA 

promulgated a revision to this 

regulation that waived the requirement 

for states to submit Section 303(d) Lists 

in 2000 except in cases where a court 

order, consent decree, or settlement 

agreement required EPA to take action 

on a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170). 

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, 

Louisiana submitted to EPA its 2002 

and 2004 listing decisions under 

Section 303(d) on August 21, 2003 and
