Second National Bed Bug Summit; Notice of Public Meeting, 550-551 [2010-33200]

Download as PDF 550 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 5, 2011 / Notices necessary to meet water quality standards in the Bay. Other provisions of the CWA, as well as the jurisdictions’ Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs), were developed to implement the Bay TMDL. EPA worked with its partners, the Bay jurisdictions, to assist in their development of individual jurisdiction-specific WIPs, which collectively serve as part of the overall TMDL implementation framework. Those WIPs are not part of the Bay TMDL itself but are part of the TMDL record and help provide reasonable assurance that the necessary nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment reductions identified in the TMDL will be achieved. The WIPs identify specific nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment reduction targets by geographic location and sector to achieve allowable loadings, as well as a description and schedule of actions that the jurisdictions will take to achieve these reductions. In accordance with Executive Order 13508, EPA and the jurisdictions also will provide the next set of two-year milestone commitments specifying what source controls will be taken to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment during that period. Any questions or comments regarding the substance of the individual WIPs, or the WIPs themselves should be addressed to the individual jurisdiction. Links to the WIPs are available at https:// www.epa.gov/chesapeakebaytmdl. Dated: December 29, 2010. Jon M. Capacasa, Water Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III.
