Announcement of Meetings
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice, announcement of meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA will conduct informational meetings on the upcoming
Construction and Development (C&D) Effluent Guidelines proposed
rulemaking. The Agency will provide an overview of the C&D project. EPA
intends to propose effluent guidelines and standards for the C&D
category in March 2002. The meetings are open to the public, and
limited seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for meeting dates.
ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for meeting locations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Strassler, Engineering and
Analysis Division (4303), EPA Office of Water, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone (202) 260-7150; e-mail:
strassler.eric@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is developing proposed effluent
limitations guidelines and standards for the C&D Point Source Category
under authority of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). The
C&D effluent guidelines will establish technology-based standards for
discharges from construction sites regulated by the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The C&D rule will cover
construction activities associated with new development and re-
development. The regulations will address stormwater runoff from
construction sites during the active phase of construction, as well as
post-construction runoff. The industrial sectors which are being
examined during the rulemaking include residential buildings, non-
residential buildings, heavy construction, and land development.
Additional information is available on the C&D website at http://
www.epa.gov/ost/guide/construction/.
The meetings will provide an update on the development of the
proposed rule. EPA will discuss the data collection efforts, the
potential technology options, and the schedule for the C&D rulemaking.
The meetings are not a mechanism for submitting formal comments. The
meetings will not be recorded by a reporter nor transcribed for
inclusion in the administrative record for the C&D rulemaking. Limited
seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
A more detailed agenda and other documents related to the C&D
project will be available at the meetings. For those unable to attend a
meeting, EPA will make documents available at the EPA website listed
above, and they can be obtained by an e-mail or telephone request to
Eric Strassler at the above address.
