SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
10, 2006, EPA Region 6 made a
commitment to the EPA Headquarters
Office of Water under EPA’s National
Water Program Fiscal Year 2006
Guidance for the program activity
measure (PAM) number WQ–12, to
establish or approve a total of 188
TMDLs in fiscal year (FY) 2006. Under
the PAM number WQ–12, EPA expected
the Oklahoma Department of
Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to
Segment
develop a total of 87 TMDLs in fiscal
year (FY) 2006 and submit them for
EPA’s approval. By the end of July 2006,
ODEQ had submitted two final TMDLs
for EPA’s approval and 30 draft TMDLs
for EPA’s review and comments. EPA
has approved the two final TMDLs
submitted by ODEQ. However, a recent
discussion between EPA Region 6 and
ODEQ senior managers determined that
although substantial progress has been
made on the other TMDLs, the
remainder of the TMDLs needed to meet
the commitment could not be completed
by the target date. Accordingly, EPA
Region 6 has decided to conduct the
public participation process for these
thirty TMDLs and establish the final
TMDLs.
