WaterNews for January 28, 2000WaterNews is a weekly on-line publication that announces publications, policies, and activities of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water. Inside this week's WaterNews: 1) EPA Proposes Revisions to Water Quality Listing Regulations EPA is proposing revisions to the Total Maximum Daily Load regulations for implementing EPA's responsibilities under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The proposal eliminates the regulatory requirement that states, territories, and authorized tribes submit to EPA by April 1, 2000, lists of impaired and threatened waters, unless EPA has been required by a court order, consent decree, or settlement agreement to take action based on a state's year-2000 list. The proposal only affects the April 1, 2000, list; it retains the existing regulatory requirement that lists be submitted on April 1, 2002, and on April 1 of subsequent even numbered years. The proposed regulatory revisions will be published in the federal register for a 30-day comment period. A copy of the proposal will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/owow/tmdl/proprule.html on the Internet within the next few days. For more information on the Total Maximum Daily Load program visit http://www.epa.gov/owow/tmdl/ on the Internet.
