[FRL–8161–5]

Clean Water Act Section 303(d):

Availability of EPA’s Decision To Add

Bear Creek to Colorado’s 2006 List of

Water Quality-Limited Segments in

Need of TMDLs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

VerDate Aug<31>2005

16:59 Apr 24, 2006

Jkt 208001

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: Region VIII of the EPA is

hereby providing notice, and requesting

public comment on EPA’s decision to

add Bear Creek (Segment COSPBE01a)

to Colorado’s list of water qualitylimited segments in need of total

maximum daily loads (TMDLs)

pursuant to Clean Water Act Section

303(d)(2). Section 303(d)(2) of the Clean

Water Act requires that states submit

and EPA approve or disapprove lists of

waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not

stringent enough to attain or maintain

state water quality standards and for

which TMDLs must be prepared.

On April 12, 2006, EPA partially

approved and partially disapproved

Colorado’s Section 303(d) list submittal

for the 2006 listing cycle. Specifically,

EPA approved Colorado’s listing of 119

waters, associated pollutants, and

associated priority rankings. EPA

disapproved Colorado’s decision not to

list one segment of Bear Creek. EPA

evaluated all the existing and readily

available data and information on the

Bear Creek segment and concluded that

the aquatic life use in the Bear Creek,

which includes the fishery, is not being

fully met. Based on this evaluation EPA

has determined that the Bear Creek

segment is not fully attaining the water

quality standards established by the

State of Colorado and should be

included on the State’s list of impaired

waters. Therefore, through its partial

disapproval of the State’s list, EPA

added Bear Creek segment COSPBE01a

to the State’s list. This addition to the

State’s list includes only a portion of

segment COSPBE01a (i.e., Bear Creek

from below Evergreen Reservoir to

Harriman Ditch).

EPA is providing the public the

opportunity to review its decision to

add a portion of Bear Creek to

Colorado’s 2006 Section 303(d) list, as

required by EPA’s Public Participation

regulations. EPA will consider public

comments in reaching its final decision

to add a portion of Bear Creek segment

COSPBE01a to the State’s list.

DATES: Comments must be submitted to

EPA on or before June 20, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed

decision should be sent to George

Parrish, TMDL Team (8EPR–EP), U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency

Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 300,

Denver, CO 80202–2466, telephone

(303) 312–7027, facsimile (303) 312–

6339, e-mail parrish.george@epa.gov.

Oral comments will not be considered.

administrative record containing

background technical information is on

Service Center (EISC). The Library and

Service Center are located on the ground

Library can be contacted by calling the

Service Center at (303) 312–6312 or

examine the administrative record may

also be made by contacting George

Parrish.

Hamilton at (303) 312–6236 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA)

requires that each state identify those

waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not

stringent enough to attain or maintain

state water quality standards. For those

waters, states are required to establish

TMDLs according to a priority ranking.

EPA’s Water Quality Planning and

Management regulations include

requirements related to the

implementation of Section 303(d) of the

CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations

require states to identify water-qualitylimited waters still requiring TMDLs

every two years. The lists of waters still

needing TMDLs must also include

priority rankings, identify the pollutants

causing the impairment, and must

identify the waters targeted for TMDL

development during the next two years

(40 CFR 130.7).

Consistent with EPA’s regulations,

Colorado submitted to EPA its listing

decisions under Section 303(d)(2) in

correspondence dated March 21, 2006.

On April 12, 2006, EPA approved

Colorado’s listing of 119 waters and

associated priority rankings. EPA

disapproved Colorado’s decision not to

include Bear Creek in its list. EPA

identified a portion of Bear Creek

segment COSPBE01a for inclusion on

Colorado’s 2006 Section 303(d) list. EPA

solicits public comment on the addition

of a portion of Bear Creek to the State’s

list, as required by EPA’s Public

Participation regulations (40 CFR part

25).

et seq.
