| Purpose of the meeting A public meeting to receive comments on a notice of intended regulatory action. The intent and subject of this rulemaking is to include the concept of regulating flow or other qualities of a point source that cause or contribute to pollutants or pollution downstream of point sources. The DEQ proposes to initiate a limited regulatory action to amend existing definitions or adding new definitions to clearly state the State Water Control Board purpose to correct or reduce the alteration of the physical, chemical or biological properties of any state waters due to flow caused by excessive storm water runoff. The Notice of Intended Regulatory Action appears in the Virginia Register on August 31, 2009. The public comment period begins on August 31, 2009 and ends on October 9, 2009. The Board is using a panel to develop a proposal. The primary function of a panel is to develop recommended regulation amendments for Department consideration through the collaborative approach of regulatory negotiation and consensus. Persons interested in assisting in the development of a proposal should notify the department contact person by the end of the comment period and provide their name, address, phone number, email address and their organization (if any). Multi-applications from a single company, organization, group or other entity count as one for purposes of making the decision specified in the preceding sentence. Notification of the composition of the panel will be sent to all applicants. he board is seeking comments through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on the intended regulatory action, including but not limited to 1) ideas to assist the board in the development of a proposal 2) the costs and benefits of the alternatives stated in the agency background document or other alternatives and 3) effects of the regulation on farm or forest land preservation.
