No. 26489 Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Amendment of Water Quality Standards Before the Montana Department of Environmental Quality On October 22, 2019, at 1:00 p.m., the Department of Environmental Quality (department) will hold a public hearing in Room 111 of the Metcalf Building, 1520 E. Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana, to consider the proposed amendment of Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) 17.30.660, pertaining to nutrient standards variances. The proposed amendments are necessary to incorporate by reference proposed changes to Department Circular DEQ-12B (DEQ-12B). The department is proposing to revise DEQ-12B to respond to the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana's Order in Upper Missouri Waterkeeper v. U.S. EPA, Case No. CV-16-52-GF-BMM (July 16, 2019). While the Court found significant portions of the general nutrients standards variance to be lawful and supported by the record, the Court partially vacated and remanded a portion of EPA's approval of the general variance found in DEQ-12B. The Court then stayed this vacatur and provided the department 120 days from the date of the Order to adopt a revised general variance timeline, and provided U.S. EPA 90 days to complete its review of these changes. The Court did not vacate EPA's approval of the department's findings concerning widespread economic and social impacts, nor did it vacate approval of the treatment requirements found in Table 12B-1 of DEQ-12B (what the Court refers to as the "Current Variance Standard" or "highest attainable condition"). This rulemaking is only intended to address the specific concerns of the Court related to (a) the timeline necessary to meet the Table 12B-1 treatment requirements and (b) the timeline and process necessary to meet the base numeric nutrient standards contained in Department Circular DEQ-12A. The rulemaking will allow continued use and application of the general variance for eligible dischargers and will prevent the related economic and social harm from requiring immediate compliance with the base numeric nutrient standards. The department will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in this rulemaking process or need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact Sandy Scherer no later than 5:00 p.m., October 15, 2019, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need.
