TMDL Modification of James River and Tributaries – Hopewell to Westover in Chesterfield, Charles City, Prince George, and Hopewell, Virginia
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks public comment from interested persons on proposed minor modifications of the total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) developed for impaired segments: Powell Creek (G03R-05-BAC) and James River (tidal) (G03E-04-BAC).
A TMDL of E. coli was developed to address the bacterial impairments in the James River and Tributaries - Hopewell to Westover in Chesterfield, Charles City, Prince George, and Hopewell, Virginia. This TMDL was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on July 10, 2008. A modification (to remove an unnecessary WLA and add to future growth in James River segment) was approved on July 7, 2009. The report and previous modification are available by searching the approved TMDL reports page at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/TMDLDataSearch/ReportSearch.jspx. DEQ seeks written comments from interested persons on 10 minor modifications.
Two modifications are proposed for the Powell Creek TMDL. The first is to add a domestic discharger (VAG404083), which is a single family home facility with a design flow of 0.001 million gallons per day (MGD). Facility VAG404083 discharges to an un-named tributary (UT) of Walls Run, which drains to Powells Creek and the tidal James River. Based on the design flow at the standard, this permit should have a waste load allocation (WLA) of 1.75E+09 colony forming units per year (cfu/yr) for E. coli in the Powell Creek TMDL. The second modification is to remove domestic discharger VAG404131 which is a single family home facility with a WLA of 1.75E+09 (cfu/yr) E. coli which is no longer in operation. The addition of one discharger and subtraction of another will equal a net change of 0% of the Powell Creek TMDL.
Eight modifications are proposed for the James River (tidal) TMDL. First, DEQ proposes to add a new WLA for existing facility Smurfit Stone Container Corporation (VA0004642), which is an industrial facility with a maximum discharge of 0.288 MGD (outfall 2). The WLA to be assigned to this facility based on the design flow at the standard is equal to 5.01E+11 (cfu/yr) E. coli. DEQ will allocate this WLA by subtracting from the "Future Growth" load of James River (tidal). For modifications 2-6, DEQ proposes to add five new WLAs for domestic dischargers VAG404083 (UT Walls Run), VAG404132 (Parish Hill Creek), VAG404199 (James River), VAG404270 (UT James River), and VAG404271 (UT James River), which are single family home facilities, each with a design flow each of 0.001 million gallons per day (MGD). The WLA to be assigned to each facility based on design flow at the standard is equal to 1.75E+09 (cfu/yr) E. coli. For modifications 7 and 8, DEQ proposes to remove the WLA assigned to two single family home permits, VAG404131 and VAG404215, which are no longer in operation. Their respective WLAs of 1.75E+09 (cfu/yr) E. coli (each) will be added to "Future Growth" load. The combined revised "Future Growth" load in the James River (tidal) TMDL as a result of these modifications will be equal to 7.66E+14 (cfu/yr) E. coli. The proposed modifications for the James River (tidal) TMDL are equal to 0.005% of the TMDL.
The proposed WLA changes above will neither cause nor contribute to the nonattainment of the James River basin. The public comment period for these modifications will end on November 10, 2011. Please send comments to Margaret Smigo, Department of Environmental Quality, Piedmont Regional Office, 4969-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060, or by email at margaret.smigo@deq.virginia.gov or fax (Attn. Margaret Smigo) at (804) 527-5106. Following the comment period, a modification letter and any comments received will be sent to EPA for approval final approval. Please contact Margaret Smigo at (804) 527-5124 with any questions.

Notice of Reimbursement for Case Management Services for Early Intervention (Part C) Children -- Notice of Intent to Amend the Virginia State Plan for Medical Assistance (pursuant to § 1902(a)(13) of the Act (USC 1396a(a)(13))
The Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) hereby affords the public notice of its intention to amend the Virginia State Plan for Medical Assistance to create a new model for Medicaid coverage of case management services for children less than three years of age who receive services under Chapter 53 (§ 2.2-5300 et seq.) of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia in accordance with Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 USC § 1431 et seq.). These children have (i) a 25% developmental delay in one or more areas of development, (ii) atypical development, or (iii) a diagnosed physical or mental condition that has a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay. This change is being made in response to a mandate from the 2011 Virginia General Assembly in Chapter 890, Item 297 UUUU of the 2011 Acts of Assembly.
DMAS intends to amend the Virginia State Plan for Medical Assistance to define a new approach to payment for case management services under Medicaid that supports the Part C early intervention model. The new Early Intervention Case Management service will meet federal Part C requirements for care coordination as well as federal Medicaid requirements for case management reimbursement. In addition to coordinating specialized services needed to ameliorate the child's developmental delay, the new case management model will facilitate coordination with the child's primary care provider and support quality preventive services such as well child care, immunizations, and lead testing, covered under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment provision for all children enrolled in Medicaid.
Some infants who receive services through the Part C early intervention program may also receive case management services for high risk pregnant women and children. These services are designed to improve birth outcomes and reduce infant mortality by increasing access to care and promoting continuity of care for women with a high risk pregnancy through the prenatal period and infancy. Providers are limited to registered nurses and trained social workers with experience working with pregnant women. Early Intervention Case Management providers will be required coordinate services with these case managers to avoid duplication of services.
The proposed Early Intervention Case Management service will reimburse for coordination services that are federally required by the Part C early intervention program to assist children and their families. All local lead agencies under contract with DBHCS or their designees will be eligible to receive Medicaid reimbursement for case management services. All private and governmental fee-for-service providers will be paid according to the same methodology. These providers will be reimbursed pursuant to the agency's fee, estimated at $120 per month, which is based on the actual requirements of the service.
DMAS anticipates implementing this amendment in a budget neutral manner. The projected savings associated with the elimination of payment for case management under the mental health and intellectual disabilities models for children served by the Part C early intervention program will offset the new costs incurred under the new model for the entire Part C population covered by Medicaid.
The department is submitting emergency regulations, pursuant to § 2.2-4011 of the Code of Virginia, to the Governor for approval. Pending the Governor's approval of the emergency regulations, DMAS will provide copies of said emergency regulations to all requesters, along with proposed provider-specific reimbursement rates. Please forward your written request to the Regulatory Coordinator, Department of Medical Assistance Services, 600 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23219. Written comments about this reimbursement methodology change may also be directed to the DMAS Regulatory Coordinator. DMAS does not anticipate holding a public hearing on this regulatory action. Further information is also available at http://townhall.virginia.gov/L/viewaction.cfm?actionid=3535&display=stages.
