minimizing adverse environmental

impact. The public meeting is open to

anyone wishing to attend.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1995,

EPA entered into a Consent Decree that

requires the Agency, no later than July

2, 1999, to propose regulations

implementing Section 316(b) of the

Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C Section

1326(b), and to take final action with

respect to the regulations no later than

August 13, 2001. The Agency is

currently developing these regulations

for proposal. Section 316(b) provides

that any standard established pursuant

to sections 301 or 306 of the Clean

Water Act and applicable to a point

source shall require that the location,

design, construction, and capacity of

cooling water intake structures reflect

the best technology available for

minimizing adverse environmental

impact. A primary purpose of Section

316(b) is to minimize the impingement

and entrainment of fish and other

aquatic organisms as they are drawn

into a facility’s cooling water intake.

The issues that EPA has developed for

discussion fall into three categories: (1)

Environmental Criteria: Defining and

Assessing Adverse Environmental

Impacts; (2) Plant Characteristics:

Determining the Contribution to

Adverse Environmental Impacts; and (3)

Minimizing Adverse Environmental

Impacts: Designing an Approach. The

following is a potential list of issues for

discussion at the June 29, 1998 public

meeting:

(1) Environmental Criteria: Defining and

Assessing Adverse Environmental

Impact

• What constitutes an adverse

environmental impact? Should the

impact be defined in terms of actual

and/or potential effects?

• What environmental parameters are

most important for defining adverse

environmental impacts?

• For which environmental

parameters might qualitative or

quantitative thresholds and/or decision

criteria be developed for determining

adverse impacts?

• What approaches and methods are

most appropriate for assessing adverse

environmental impact?

(2) Plant Characteristics: Determining

the Contribution to Adverse

Environmental Impact

• What factors related to the location,

design, construction, and capacity of

cooling water intake structures most

significantly contribute to adverse

environmental impacts? (For example:

source waterbody type, flow rate,

velocity, configuration of intake, type of

technology at the intake.)

• For which such factors (e.g.,

velocity, flow rate, waterbody type, etc.)

might qualitative or quantitative

thresholds and/or decision criteria be

developed?

(3) Minimizing Adverse Environmental

Impact: Designing an Approach

• What information should be

considered when designing an approach

to minimize adverse environmental

impacts.

• What are possible approaches to

defining and measuring the cumulative

effects of impingement and

entrainment?

DATES: The public meeting will be held

on Monday, June 29, 1998. The meeting

will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. and

will end at approximately 4:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia

Section 111(d) Plans for Existing

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Administrator has

determined that it is necessary to extend

the submission deadline for section

111(d) Plans for MSW landfills for the

States of Arkansas and Oklahoma and

Tennessee as described below. The

reasons for this action are set forth in

the memorandum, Supplemental

Justification for Extending Municipal

Solid Waste Landfill Section 111(d) Plan

Submittals, which is located in the

docket and on EPA’s website. These

Plans, which are required under section

111(d) of the Clean Air Act (the Act) for

existing landfills (40 CFR Part 60,

subpart B), describe how the State or

Local air pollution agency or Indian

Tribe will implement the MSW landfill

emission guidelines. The guidelines

were promulgated on March 12, 1996

under 40 CFR Part 60, subpart Cc (61 FR

9905). The section 111(d) Plans were

due December 12, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA

promulgated standards of performance

for new MSW landfills and emission

guidelines for existing MSW landfills on

March 12, 1996. These standards of

performance and emission guidelines,

which were developed under section

111 of the Act, regulate emissions of

nonmethane organic compounds from

MSW landfills. Section 111(d) of the Act

requires States to submit a Plan to the

EPA that addresses how States will

regulate, implement and enforce

standards of performance on existing

MSW landfills and specifies when those

Plans must be submitted. This

requirement is codified under 40 CFR

60.23.

Section 60.27 of 40 CFR authorizes

the EPA Administrator to extend the

period for submission of a section

111(d) Plan whenever he or she

determines it is necessary. Arkansas,
27960 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 98 /Thursday, May 21, 1998 / Notices

Oklahoma and Chattanooga-Hamilton

County have shown good faith in

developing and committing to submit

their Plans in an expedited manner.

Based on EPA’s analysis of the State and

local air pollution agency requests,

Arkansas and Oklahoma and

Chattanooga-Hamilton County are

granted extensions until July 31, 1998.

The memorandum, Supplemental

Justification for Extending Municipal

Solid Waste Landfill Section 111(d) Plan

Submittals, mentioned previously,

documents the States’ efforts and

explains why EPA is granting an

extension for the section 111(d) Plan

submittals to these States’ and locality’s

air pollution agencies.
