ACTION: Notice of availability. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA’s final action identifying water quality limited segments and associated pollutants in Louisiana to be listed pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 303(d), and request for public comment. Section 303(d) requires that states submit and EPA approve or disapprove lists of waters for which existing technology-based pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards and for which total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. On March 31, 2005, EPA partially approved and partially disapproved Louisiana’s 2002 303(d) submittal. Specifically, EPA approved Louisiana’s listing of 442 water body-pollutant combinations and associated priority rankings. EPA disapproved Louisiana’s decisions not to list 44 water quality limited segments (or 69 water bodypollutant combinations). EPA identified these additional water bodies and pollutants along with priority rankings for inclusion on the 2002 Section 303(d) List. EPA is providing the public the opportunity to review its final decisions to add waters and pollutants to Louisiana’s 2002 Section 303(d) List, as required by EPA’s Public Participation regulations (40 CFR Part 25). EPA will consider public comments and if necessary amend its final action on the additional water bodies and pollutants identified for inclusion on Louisiana’s Final 2002 Section 303(d) List. DATES: Comments must be submitted in writing to EPA on or before May 12, 2005. ADDRESSES: Comments on the decisions should be sent to Diane Smith, VerDate jul<14>2003 16:48 Apr 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 Environmental Protection Specialist, Water Quality Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 6, 1445 Ross Ave., Dallas, TX 75202–2733, telephone (214) 665–2145, facsimile (214) 665–7373, or e-mail: smith.diane@epa.gov. Oral comments will not be considered. Copies of the documents which explain the rationale for EPA’s decisions and a list of the 49 water quality limited segments for which EPA disapproved Louisiana’s decisions not to list can be obtained at EPA Region 6’s Web site at https:// www.epa.gov/earth1r6/6wq/tmdl.htm, or by writing or calling Ms. Smith at the above address. Underlying documents from the administrative record for these decisions are available for public inspection at the above address. Please contact Ms. Smith to schedule an inspection. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane Smith at (214) 665–2145. 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 Total Maximum Daily Loads (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 quality limited waters still requiring TMDLs every two years. The list of waters still needing TMDLs must also include priority rankings and must identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7). On March 31, 2000, EPA promulgated a revision to this regulation that waived the requirement for states to submit Section 303(d) Lists in 2000 except in cases where a court order, consent decree, or settlement agreement required EPA to take action on a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170). Consistent with EPA’s regulations, Louisiana submitted to EPA its listing decisions under Section 303(d) on August 21, 2003, with subsequent corrections submitted on December 10, 2003, and October 19, 2004. On March 31, 2005, EPA approved Louisiana’s listing of 442 water body-pollutant combinations and associated priority rankings.

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): Availability of List Decisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's final action 
identifying water quality limited segments and associated pollutants in 
Louisiana to be listed pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 303(d), and 
request for public comment. Section 303(d) requires that states submit 
and EPA approve or disapprove lists of waters for which existing 
technology-based pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain 
or maintain state water quality standards and for which total maximum 
daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared.
    On March 31, 2005, EPA partially approved and partially disapproved 
Louisiana's 2004 303(d) submittal. Specifically, EPA approved 
Louisiana's listing of 444 water body-pollutant combinations, and 
associated priority rankings. EPA disapproved Louisiana's decisions not 
to list 14 water quality limited segments (or 17 water body-pollutant 
combinations). EPA identified these additional water bodies and 
pollutants along with priority rankings for inclusion on the 2004 
Section 303(d) List.
    EPA is providing the public the opportunity to review its final 
decisions to add waters and pollutants to Louisiana's 2004 Section 
303(d) List, as required by EPA's Public Participation regulations (40 
CFR part 25). EPA will consider public comments and if necessary amend 
its final action on the additional water bodies and pollutants 
identified for inclusion on Louisiana's Final 2004 Section 303(d) List.

DATES: Comments must be submitted in writing to EPA on or before May 
12, 2005.

List.
