NOTICE OF PERIODIC REVIEWS
Pursuant to Executive Order Number Twenty-five (1998), the Department of Environmental Quality on behalf of the State Water Control Board, will review several regulations. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the regulations should be terminated, amended or retained in their current form. The review of the regulations will be guided by the principles listed in Executive Order Number Twenty-five (1998).
Eastern Virginia Ground Water Management Area (9 VAC 25-600-10 et seq.) The purpose of this regulation is to protect public health and/or welfare with the least possible costs and intrusiveness to the citizens and businesses of the Commonwealth; to minimize the impacts of new permitted withdrawals on pre-existing ground water users to be measured by the number of documented reports of unmitigated impacts on existing ground water users attributable to permitted withdrawals; and to preserve existing high quality ground water for future beneficial uses to be measured by the number of documented reports of ground water quality decline (specifically increases in chloride concentrations) at permitted withdrawal sites with ground water quality monitoring requirements. Comments on this regulation should be sent to Terry D. Wagner at the address below or email tdwagner@deq.state.va.us.
