Purpose of the meeting
A public hearing to receive comment on a draft VPDES permit for Dominion - Bremo Power Station. Virginia Electric and Power Company has applied for reissuance of a permit for the Dominion – Bremo Power Station. The applicant proposes to release cooling water, treated industrial wastewater and stormwater at a combined rate of 172.2 million gallons per day from seven outfalls into one water body. The reissuance 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 cooling water, treated industrial wastewater and stormwater in the James River in Fluvanna County in the James River/Bear Garden Creek/South Creek watershed. The public comment period begins on October 30, 2015 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.
