SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is 

hereby given that the SAB Mountaintop 

Mining/Valley Fill/Conductivity Review 

Panel will hold a public face-to-face 

meeting to conduct a peer review of the 

EPA’s draft technical documents, The 

Effects of Mountaintop Mines and 

Valley Fills on Aquatic Ecosystems of 

the Central Appalachian Coalfields 

External Review Draft (December 2009), 

and Field-Based Aquatic Life 

Benchmark for Conductivity in Central 

Appalachian Streams, External Review 

Draft (March 2010). The SAB was 

established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4365 

to provide independent scientific and 

technical advice to the Administrator on 

the technical basis for Agency positions 

and regulations. 

The SAB is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under FACA. The 

SAB will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

Background: EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development (ORD) prepared a 

scientific assessment of the ecological 

impacts related to mountaintop mining 

and valley-fill operations entitled ‘‘The 

Effects of Mountaintop Mines and 

Valley Fills on Aquatic Ecosystems of 

the Central Appalachian Coalfields.’’ 

The scope of this assessment includes: 

loss of headwater streams, downstream 

water quality and subsequent effects on 

in-stream biota, and cumulative 

ecological impacts. In addition, the draft 

assessment evaluates restoration and 

recovery methods used by mining 

companies to address these ecological 

impacts associated with mountaintop 

mining and valley-fill operations. ORD 

also developed the ‘‘Field-Based Aquatic 

Life Benchmark for Conductivity in 

Central Appalachian Streams’’ report 

that uses field data to derive an aquatic 

life benchmark value for conductivity (a 

measure of salinity) that may be applied 

to waters in the Appalachian Region 

that are dominated by salts of SO4

2¥

and HCO3

¥. ORD requested that the 

SAB review and provide advice on the 

scientific adequacy, suitability and 

appropriateness of both the draft 

Aquatic Ecosystem Report and the draft 

Conductivity Benchmark Report. 

In response to ORD’s request, the SAB 

Staff Office solicited nominations of 

experts and formed a review panel for 

the Review of Effects of Mountaintop 

Mines and Valley Fills on Aquatic 

Ecosystems, and Aquatic Life 

Benchmark for Conductivity [Federal 

Register Notice dated February 3, 2010 

(75 FR 5589—5590)]. The panel will 

provide advice on the ecological 

impacts related to mountaintop mining 

and valley-fill operations and on 

deriving an aquatic benchmark for 

conductivity using field data. During the 

face-to-face meeting, the panel will 

review the technical documents. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Agendas and materials in support of this 

meeting will be placed on the EPA Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/sab in 

advance of the meeting. For technical 

questions and information concerning 

EPA’s draft document, please contact 

Dr. Michael Slimak, EPA Office of 

Research and Development (ORD), at 

(703) 347–8524 or by e-mail at 

slimak.michael@epa.gov. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a Federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. They should 

send their comments directly to the 

Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public meeting will be limited to 

five minutes per speaker, with no more 

than a total of one hour for all speakers. 

Each person making an oral statement 

should consider providing written 

comments as well as their oral statement 

so that the points presented orally can 

be expanded upon in writing. Interested 

parties should contact Mr. Edward 

Hanlon, DFO, in writing (preferably via 

e-mail) at the contact information noted 

above by July 13, 2010 to be placed on 

the list of public speakers at the face-toface meeting. Written Statements: 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by July 13, 

2010 so that the information may be 

made available to the Committee 

members for their consideration. 

Written statements should be supplied 

in one of the following electronic 

formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of signed documents, 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Edward 

Hanlon at (202) 343–9946 or at 

hanlon.edward@epa.gov. To request

ten days prior to each meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.
