Purpose of the meeting
A public hearing to receive comment on a draft permit modification to a VPDES permit issued to Dominion - Possum Point Power Station. Virginia Electric and Power Company has applied for a modification of a permit for the Dominion – Possum Point Power Station. The applicant proposes to release treated industrial wastewater and stormwater at a combined rate of 172 million gallons per day from eight outfalls into three water bodies. The modification addresses additional industrial wastewater and stormwater discharges associated with the closure of the facility’s ash ponds pursuant to a 2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final Rule that regulates the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR). The facility proposes to release the treated industrial wastewater and stormwater in an unnamed tributary to Quantico Creek, Quantico Creek, and the Potomac River in Prince William County in the Potomac River watershed. The public comment period begins on October 29 and ends on December 14, 2015. DEQ accepts comments by hand delivery, e-mail, fax or postal mail. All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Submittals must include the names, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the commenter/requester and of all persons represented by the commenter/requester.
