R-19J

GG 1 i7 '1992 MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Approva NPDES State General Permits Program

FRO~~~ . r so~~rector, Water Division

TO: Valdas V. Adamkus Regional Administrator

Background

40 CFR 123.62 sets forth procedures necessary to revise the State's NPDES permits program in order for the State to assume the general permits program.

On March 11, 1974, the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) approved the State of Ohio's request for authority to administer the NPDES program in Ohio. Authority to administer the program is statutorily vested in the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA).

In 1989, the State of Ohio enacted section 6111.035 of the Ohio Revised Code, which provided the ohio EPA with the authority to issue, administer, and enforce NPDES general permits for appropriate types of point sources in Ohio.

On May 4, 1992, the Ohio EPA submitted a request for authority to administer the general permits program in Ohio. The pUblic will be notified shortly in the Federal Register of the submittal and approval of the State general permits program. Headquarters provided its concurrence on the approval of this program modification on August 6, 1992, (attached). I have concluded that this program modification is not a substantial revision to the State program. Accordingly, under 40 CFR 123.62, we have not published notice of the proposed approval in the Federal Register.

------------------ - - - --_.

AMENDMENT TO THE

NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

_ BETWEEN THE OHIO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

AND THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, REGION 5

The Memorandum of Agreement between the united states Environmental Protection Agency, Region S (hereinafter, EPA) and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter, ohio EPA) is hereby amended to include Ohio .EPA and EPA responsibilities for the development, issuance, and enforcement of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (hereinafter, NPDES) general permits as follows.

The Ohio EPA has the responsibility for developing and issuing NPDES general permits. After identifying discharges appropriately regulated by a general permit, Ohio EPA will collect sufficient information to develop permit conditions and requirements and prepare the draft general permit. General permits will require the same effluent limitations, operating conditions, or standards for sewage sludge use and disposal and the same or similar monitoring.

Each draft general permit will be accompanied by a fact sheet setting forth the principal facts and methodologies considered during permit development and will be transmitted to the following EPA offices:

Water Division Director (SWQ) U. S. EPA, Region S

77 West Jackson Boulevard Chicago, Illinois 60604

Director, Office of Wastewater Enforcement and Compliance* U. S. EPA (WH-S46)

401 M street, SW Washington, DC 20460

EPA will have up to ninety (90) days to review draft general permits and provide comments, recommendations, or objections to the Ohio EPA. In the event EPA does object to a general permit, it will provide, in writing, the reasons for its objection and the actions necessary to eliminate the objection. The state has the right to a pUblic hearing on the objection in accordance with 40 CFR 123.44. Upon receipt of EPA's objection, the state may request a public hearing. If EPA's concerns are not satisfied and the state has not sought a hearing within 90 days of the objection, exclusive authority to issue the general permit passes to EPA.

* General permits for discharges from separate storm sewers need not be sent to EPA Headquarters for review.

... . ,

All general permits will be public noticed in accordance with Chapter 3745-47 of the Ohio Administrative Code and 40 CFR 124.10, including pUblication in a daily or weekly newspaper circulated in the area to be covered by the permit. General permits will also be published in the Ohio EPA Weekly Review. The Ohio EPA will issue and administer NPDES permits in accordance with Chapter 3745-38 of the Ohio Administrative Code and 40 CFR 122.28.

The ohio EPA also has the primary responsibility for conducting compliance monitoring activities requirements of general permits.

FOR OHIO EPA:

July 2, 1992 Date

Addendum to the

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Memorandum of Agreement

Between the State of Ohio

and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5 Concerning Ohio's Great Lakes Water Quality Standards

and Implementation Procedures

The federal Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System (federal guidance), 40 CFR Part 132, contains the minimum water quality standards, antidegradation policies, and implementation procedures for the Great Lakes system to protect human health, aquatic life, and wildlife. The Great Lakes states and tribes were required to adopt provisions consistent with (as protective as) the federal guidance for their waters within the Great Lakes system. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) adopted Great Lakes system water quality standards and implementation procedures on October 16, 1997, and these rules became effective on October 31, 1997.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (U.S. EPA) and the Ohio EPA enter into this Addendum to their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Memorandum of Agreement to ensure that Ohio's rules concerning Great Lakes system water quality standards and implementation procedures are implemented in a manner that is consistent with the federal guidance.

A. Intake Pollutants - Noncontact Cooling Water

OAC 3745-33-07(A)(9)(a) provides Ohio EPA with discretion to impose a water quality based effluent limitation (WQBEL) for pollutants in discharges that are comprised of once-through noncontact cooling water in certain circumstances unless the permittee can demonstrate that the presence of the pollutant in the discharge is due solely to its presence in the once-through noncontact cooling water. Ohio EPA shall exercise its discretion under OAC 3745-33-07(A)(9)(a) to always require WQBELs based on an acute or chronic aquatic life, wildlife or human health Tier I criterion or Tier II value, or whole effluent toxicity requirements, whenever information is available to indicate that pollutants in a discharge will cause, or have the reasonable potential to cause, an exceedance of a Tier I criterion or Tier II value or whole effluent toxicity requirements unless the pollutants are due solely to their presence in the intake water. Ohio EPA shall make its reasonable potential determinations regarding pollutants added to cooling water based upon the level of the particular pollutant at issue in the entire discharge rather than simply the levels of the pollutants that are added to the cooling water.

1

B. Applicability of "Outside Mixing Zone Average Water Quality Criteria and Values" in Limited Resource Waters

In making NPDES permitting decisions, Ohio EPA will apply the 'Outside Mixing Zone Average' water quality criteria and values for the protection of aquatic life specified in OAC 3745-1-33, or site-specific modifications thereof, and the chronic whole effluent toxicity requirements in OAC 3745-2-09(A)(4), or site-specific modifications thereof, to all water bodies in the Great Lakes Basin including those designated as limited resource waters.

C. Discretionary authority of the Director of Ohio EPA under 3745-1-07(A)(6)(a)

OAC 3745-1-07(A)(6)(a) provides that:

"demonstrated attainment of biological criteria in a water body will take precedence over the application of selected chemical-specific aquatic life or whole-effluent criteria associated with these uses when the director, upon considering appropriately detailed chemical, physical and biological data, finds that one or more chemical specific or whole-effluent criteria are inappropriate."

In such circumstances, the rule provides two options for the director in establishing permit limits. Either the director or the permittee with the approval of the director may develop a site-specific water quality criterion, or the director may "proceed with establishing effluent limits consistent with attainment of the designated use."

Where there exists reasonable potential that a discharge will cause or contribute to an exceedance of a tier I criterion, tier II value or whole effluent toxicity criterion, and the conditions described in OAC 3745-1-07(A)(6)(a) apply, Ohio EPA will always include effluent limits in permits that are derived from and comply with the applicable criteria or values or site-specific modifications thereof. This agreement does not preclude Ohio EPA from applying alternative modeling techniques or alternative flows where these are supported by the available site-specific data in determining reasonable potential and deriving appropriate permit limits consistent with OAC 3745-2-05(A). This agreement does not apply to permitting decisions regarding WQBELs for pollutants listed in table 5 to 40 CFR 132.

[NOTES: 3745-2-05(A) STATES: "Alternative modeling methods (including, but not limited to, continuous simulation or probabilistic analyses) may be used at the discretion of the director if they are demonstrated to be appropriate and protective of applicable water quality criteria." WHERE THIS PROVISION IS INVOKED, OHIO EPA MAY USE THE FINDING OF ATTAINMENT OF BIOLOGICAL CRITERIA AS THE DEMONSTRATION THAT THE DEFAULT MODELING PROCEDURES ARE OVERLY CONSERVATIVE. IN ADDITION, 3745-2-05(A)(1)(g) STATES: "Alternative flows may be used at the director's discretion if the flow is as protective as those listed in this paragraph." THIS PROVISION
