Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 35 / Monday, February 23, 2015 / Notices 9457 

exclude Jones Inlet/Jones Bay from its 

2014 303(d) list. EPA evaluated existing 

and readily available data and 

information and concluded that the 

applicable narrative water quality 

standard for nutrients is being exceeded 

in Jones Inlet/Jones Bay. Based on this 

evaluation, EPA has determined that 

Jones Inlet/Jones Bay is not fully 

attaining the water quality standards 

established by New York State and 

should be included on the State’s 303(d) 

list of impaired waters. 

EPA is providing the public the 

opportunity to review its decision to 

add this water to New York’s 303(d) list, 

as required by 40 CFR 130.7(d)(2). EPA 

will consider public comments before 

transmitting its final listing decision to 

the State. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

EPA on or before March 25, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

decision should be sent to Dana Flint, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

Region 2, 290 Broadway, New York, NY 

10007, email greenlee.dana@epa.gov, 

telephone (212)–637–3635. Oral 

comments will not be considered. 

Copies of EPA’s letter explaining the 

rationale for EPA’s decision concerning 

New York’s list can be obtained by 

calling or emailing Mrs. Flint at the 

address above. Underlying documents 

from the administrative record for these 

decisions are available for public 

inspection at the above address. Please 

contact Mrs. Flint to schedule an 

inspection.

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 

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 lists of waters still 

needing TMDLs must also include 

priority rankings, identify the pollutants 

causing the impairment, and identify 

the waters targeted for TMDL 

development during the next two years 

(40 CFR 130.7). 

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, 

New York submitted its listing decisions 

under Section 303(d)(2) to EPA in 

correspondence dated November 3, 

2014, January 5, 2015 and January 7, 

2015. On January 13, 2015, EPA 

partially approved New York’s 

submittal of the 303(d) list, and 

disapproved New York’s decision to 

exclude Jones Inlet/Jones Bay from the 

2014 list. EPA is soliciting public 

comment on the addition of this water 

to the State’s list, as required by 40 CFR 

130.7(d)(2).
