FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Eric Strassler, Engineering and Analysis Division (4303), EPA Office of Water, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone (202) 260-7150; e-mail: strassler.eric@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA is developing proposed effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the CD Point Source Category under authority of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. ). The CD effluent guidelines will establish technology-based standards for discharges from construction sites regulated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The CD rule will cover construction activities associated with new development and re-development. The regulations will address stormwater runoff from construction sites during the active phase of construction, as well as post-construction runoff. The industrial sectors which are being examined during the rulemaking include residential buildings, non-residential buildings, heavy construction, and land development. Additional information is available on the CD website at http://www.epa.gov/ost/guide/construction/ .
The meetings will provide an update on the development of the proposed rule. EPA will discuss the data collection efforts, the potential technology options, and the schedule for the CD rulemaking. The meetings are not a mechanism for submitting formal comments. The meetings will not be recorded by a reporter nor transcribed for inclusion in the administrative record for the CD rulemaking. Limited seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
A more detailed agenda and other documents related to the CD project will be available at the meetings. For those unable to attend a meeting, EPA will make documents available at the EPA website listed above, and they can be obtained by an e-mail or telephone request to Eric Strassler at the above address.
