Title: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Regulations for New Dischargers and the Appropriate Use of Offsets With regard to Water Quality Permitting | |
Abstract: This rulemaking will consider how to clarify EPA's approach to permitting new dischargers in order to ensure the protection of water quality under Clean Water Act section 301(b)(C). The rulemaking may examine options to address the appropriate and permissible use of offsets which ensures that NPDES permits are protective of water quality standards. The rulemaking may also examine options for addressing new dischargers in impaired waters, both when a TMDL is in place and prior to TMDL issuance. | |
