located further downstream of the dual

twelve-inch river crossing which was

subsequently retired from service.

Trunkline indicates that after it

received authorization in Docket No.

CP65–117 to increase mainline capacity

by 50,000 Mcf per day, the necessity

arose for the construction of River

Crossing 100–3. Trunkline states that

after River Crossings 100–2 and 100–3

were placed into service, Trunkline

removed the dual twelve-inch river

crossing from active service. It is

indicated that when the dual twelveinch river crossing was taken out of

service, Line 100–T1 was blinded on the

north end connected to the dual twelveinch river crossing, thus rendering Line

100–T1 a nonfunctional facility.

Trunkline avers that the south end of

Line 100–T1, which is connected to

Line 54B–100, was not blinded and

therefore gas has still been able to flow

into Line 100–T1 from Line 54B–100 to

no purpose.

Trunkline submits that the removal of

Line 100–T1 will not affect Trunkline’s

mainline capacity, and will allow

Trunkline to eliminate safety concerns

and the cost of maintaining this

nonfunctional facility. It is indicated

that the scope of work for the proposed

abandonment includes isolation and

blowdown of Line 100–T1 and Line

54B–100, cutting and removing the tee

from Line 54B–100, returning Line 54B–

100 to service, and removing Line 100–

T1.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 9,

1995, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

D.C. 20426, a petition to intervene or a

protest in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214 or 385.211) and the regulations

under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR

157.10). All protests filed with the

Commission will be considered by it in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken but will not serve to make the

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

to the proceeding or to participate as a

party in any hearing therein must file a

petition to intervene in accordance with

the Commission’s Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission on this application if no

petition to intervene is filed within the

time required herein, and if the

Commission on its own review of the

matter finds that the abandonment is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a petition for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its motion believes that

a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure herein provide

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Trunkline to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–5210–9]

Determining Compliance With Water

Quality Based Effluent Limits Below

Quantitation in the Absence of

Promulgated Minimum Levels (MLs)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Request for Technical Data and

Notice of Presentation-Style meeting.

SUMMARY: On March 22, 1994, the

Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) Office of Wastewater Management

(OWM) released for comment the draft

‘‘National Guidance for the Permitting,

Monitoring, and Enforcement of Water

Quality-based Effluent Limitations Set

Below Analytical Detection or

Quantitation Levels.’’ The draft

guidance was distributed to EPA

Headquarters, EPA Regions, National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(NPDES) state representatives, trade

associations and environmental groups

for comment. In general, there was

support by all parties for the need for

the guidance. However, there were

several issues raised by the commenters

which must be resolved before the

guidance becomes final. Of particular

concern to commenters was the

methodology used to determine

quantitation levels in the absence of

promulgated MLs. Today’s notice is to

invite interested stakeholders to submit

technical data to EPA on this issue, and

to announce a meeting to discuss this

topic and the data submitted.

DATES: Technical information should be

submitted on or before June 22, 1995. A

presentation-style meeting is scheduled

for Wednesday, August 2 and Thursday,

August 3, 1995 in McLean, Virginia.

Meeting attendees should reply by June

22, 1995, confirming your attendance.

ADDRESSES: Technical data should be

sent to Jackie Romney; U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency;

Office of Wastewater Management; MC–

4203; 401 M Street, S.W.; Washington,

DC 20460; 202/260–9528. A

Government contractor will compile

and maintain the confidentiality of the

data. Meeting reservations should be

made by calling Lynn Kurth of SAIC at

703/917–8496.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jackie Romney; U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency; Office of Wastewater

Management; MC—4203; 401 M Street,

S.W.; Washington, DC 20460; 202/260–

9528.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

22, 1994, EPA’s Office of Wastewater

Management released the draft

‘‘National Guidance for the Permitting,

Monitoring, and Enforcement of Water

Quality-based Effluent Limitations Set

Below Analytical Detection or

Quantitation Levels.’’ The primary

intent of the guidance is to promote

national consistency in the

implementation of water quality-based

effluent limits (WQBELs) established

below detection or quantitation levels.

The secondary intent of the guidance is

to ensure that National Pollutant

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

permittees strive to measure as closely

as possible to WQBELs even in the

absence of more sensitive promulgated

methods. The draft guidance contains

four main recommendations including:

(1) Permit limits should be expressed as

the calculated WQBEL; (2) the

minimum level (ML) should be used as

the quantitation level and included in

the permit as a footnote to the WQBEL;

(3) where a promulgated ML is not

available, an ‘‘interim ML’’ should be

calculated using a factor of 3.18 times

the method detection limit (MDL); and

(4) analytical results below the ML

should be reported as zero.

The draft guidance was distributed to

EPA Headquarters, EPA Regions,

NPDES state representatives, and trade

associations and environmental groups

for comment. In general, there was

support by all parties for the need for

the guidance. However, there were

several technical issues that were raised.

Of particular concern to commenters

was the methodology used to determine

quantitation levels in the absence of

promulgated MLs. Based on subsequent

meetings with the regulated community,

EPA has delayed finalizing the guidance

until this issue is resolved.

A presentation-style meeting will be

held on August 2–3, 1995 in McLean,
27730 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 101 / Thursday, May 25, 1995 / Notices

Virginia, to gather additional technical

information to assist EPA in resolving

these technical issues in order to

finalize the guidance. This meeting will

involve representatives from EPA

Regions, States, the regulated

community, trade associations, the

scientific community, and

environmental groups. Representatives

from the parties submitting comments

are invited to attend the meeting to

present supporting data. This meeting

will focus particularly on the procedure

for developing quantitation levels (when

there is no promulgated ML) to measure

compliance with WQBELs. The meeting

will provide an opportunity for

commenters to present information

supporting their specific concerns.

EPA is interested in the following

types of technical data:

(1) Data to support the proposed use

of the minimum level at 3.18 time the

MDL (analogous to the International

Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry

(IUPAC) and the American Chemical

Society (ACS) limit of quantitation) in

the absence of a promulgated ML.

(2) Data to support an alternative

quantitation level for compliance

monitoring with WQBELs in the

absence of a promulgated ML.

(3) Data which show the impacts of

matrix interference which are not

accounted for through the proposed sitespecific MDLs or MLs, as well as any

industry matrix interference data to

support matrix interference cases.

In addition to the technical data

above, EPA would like to review any

actual examples submitted by

commenters of enforcement actions

taken for violating WQBELs set below

detection or quantitation levels.

It is EPA’s objective that this meeting

be comprised of representatives who:

contribute technical expertise relevant

to this topic; represent a wide spectrum

of interests (e.g, business, academia,

environmental groups, and

government); and are willing to

participate in the entire two day

meeting.

Participants must submit any

supporting data they wish to provide by

June 22, 1995. The data will be

compiled by EPA prior to the meeting

to ensure an organized presentation of

information. Please note that technical

comments on alternative approaches to

develop quantitation levels received

without supporting technical data

cannot be considered at the meeting. If

a copy of the March 22, 1994, draft

‘‘National Guidance for the Permitting,

Monitoring, and Enforcement of Water

Quality-based Effluent Limitations Set

Below Analytical Detection or

Quantitation Levels’’ is needed, please

contact Mildred Thomas at 202/260–

6054 to receive a copy.

Once EPA has reviewed the data, data

summaries will be sent to all registered

participants prior to the August

meeting. Specific information on the

meeting location, time of meeting and

meeting agenda will be sent to each

registered participant prior to the

August 2 & 3, 1995 meeting.
