Public Water System Supervision 

Program Approval for the State of 

Minnesota 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Minnesota is revising its 

approved public water system 

supervision program for four major 

rules. EPA has determined that these 

revisions are no less stringent than the 

corresponding Federal regulations. 

Therefore, EPA intends to approve these 

revisions. This approval action does not 

extend to public water systems in 

Indian Country, as the term is defined 

in 18 U.S.C. 1151. By approving these 

rules, EPA does not intend to affect the 

rights of federally recognized Indian 

Tribes in Minnesota, nor does it intend 

to limit existing rights of the State of 

Minnesota. 

Any interested person may request a 

public hearing. A request for a public 

hearing must be submitted to the 

Regional Administrator at the address 

shown below by April 16, 2012. If a 

substantial request for a public hearing 

is made within the requested time 

frame, a public hearing will be held and 

a notice of such hearing will be given 

in the Federal Register and a newspaper 

of general circulation. Frivolous or 

insubstantial requests for a hearing may 

be denied by the Regional 

Administrator. If no timely and 

appropriate request for a hearing is 

received and the Regional Administrator 

does not elect to hold a hearing on her 

own motion, this determination shall 

become final and effective on April 16, 

2012. Any request for a public hearing 

shall include the following information: 

The name, address, and telephone 

number of the individual, organization, 

or other entity requesting a hearing; a 

brief statement of the requesting 

person’s interest in the Regional 

Administrator’s determination and a 

brief statement of the information that 

the requesting person intends to submit 

at such hearing; and the signature of the 

individual making the request, or, if the 

request is made on behalf of an 

organization or other entity, the 

signature of a responsible official of the 

organization or other entity. 

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to 

this determination are available for 

inspection at the following offices: 

Minnesota Department of Health, 625

Clean Water Act; Availability of List 

Decisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability and 

Request for Public Comment. 

SUMMARY: This action announces the 

availability of the Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed 

decision identifying water quality 

limited segments and associated 

pollutants in Oregon to be listed 

pursuant to section 303(d)(2) of the 

Clean Water Act (CWA). EPA is 

proposing to add 1004 water quality 

limited segments to Oregon’s 2010 

Section 303(d) list. EPA solicits public 

comment on these proposed listings. 

The proposed listings, together with 

additional information concerning the 

proposed listings, are available for 

review on EPA’s Web site. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 16, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments: Comments on 

the proposed listing action must be sent 

electronically or by mail to Jill Gable, 

303(d) Listing Program, Office of Water 

and Watersheds; USEPA Region 10; 

1200 6th Ave. Suite 900, OWW–134; 

Seattle, WA 98101; telephone (206) 

553–2582, facsimile (206) 553–0165, 

email gable.jill@epa.gov. Oral comments

Availability for Review: Copies of the 

proposed decision concerning Oregon’s 

303(d) list which explain the rationale 

for EPA’s proposed decision can be 

obtained at EPA Region 10’s Web site at: 

www.epa.gov/region10/notices/ 

oregon303d.html, or by writing or 

calling Ms. Gable at the above address. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jill 

Gable at (206) 553–2582 or 

gable.jill@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

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

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Section 

303(d)’’) requires states to identify those 

waters within their jurisdiction for 

which effluent limitations are not 

stringent enough to implement 

applicable water quality standards, to 

establish a priority ranking for such 

waters, and to submit a listing of such 

waters to EPA (hereinafter referred to as 

a ‘‘303(d) list’’). 

EPA’s Water Quality Planning and 

Management regulations include 

requirements for implementation of 

section 303(d), at 40 CFR 130.7. 40 CFR 

130.7(d) requires states to identify water 

quality limited waters still requiring 

Total Maximum Daily Loads (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. See 40 CFR 

130.7(d). 

Section 303(d)(2) also requires that 

EPA approve or disapprove lists 

submitted by States. If EPA disapproves 

a list, EPA must identify waters in the 

state that do not meet water quality 

standards. After EPA has identified 

waters not attaining water quality 

standards, EPA must issue a public 

notice seeking comments on the list. See 

40 CFR 130.7(d)(2). 

On May 24, 2011, the Oregon 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(‘‘ODEQ’’) submitted Oregon’s 2010 

Section 303(d) list of water quality 

limited segments (‘‘WQLSs’’) (‘‘Oregon’s 

2010 303(d) list’’), to EPA, as part of the 

Integrated Report submitted by the state 

to meet the requirements of sections 

303(d), 305(b), and 314 of the CWA. On 

March 15, 2012, EPA sent a letter to 

ODEQ, in which EPA approved ODEQ’s 

inclusion of 970 water quality limited 

segments to Oregon’s 303(d) list and 

ODEQ’s removal of 927 water quality 

limited segments from Oregon’s 303(d) 

list. 

In the March 15, 2012 letter to ODEQ, 

EPA also disapproved Oregon’s 

decisions not to list 1004 water quality 

limited segments as impaired, including 

321 water quality limited segments that 

Oregon identified as impaired but failed 

to list on the Section 303(d) list. EPA 

has identified these additional water 

quality limited segment for inclusion on 

the State’s 2010 Section 303(d) list. 

These water quality limited segments 

and associated pollutants as proposed 

by EPA are identified in Enclosure 3 of 

the decision document available at the 

following Web site link: www.epa.gov/ 

region10/notices/oregon303d.html. 

EPA is providing the public the 

opportunity to review its proposed 

decision to list 1004 water quality 

limited segments to Oregon’s 2010 

Section 303(d) list. EPA will consider 

and respond to public comments in 

reaching its final decision on the 

addition of the referenced water bodies 

and pollutants identified for inclusion 

on Oregon’s 2010 303(d) list.
