Proposed Issuance of the NPDES
General Permit for Oil and Gas
Geotechnical Surveying and Related
Activities in Federal Waters of the
Beaufort and Chukchi Seas
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed issuance of
general permit.
AGENCY:
EPA Region 10 proposes to
issue a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) General
Permit for Oil and Gas Geotechnical
Surveying and Related Activities in
Federal Waters of the Beaufort and
Chukchi Seas (Permit No. AKG–28–
4300). As proposed, the Geotechnical
General Permit authorizes twelve types
of discharges from facilities engaged in
oil and gas geotechnical surveys to
evaluate the subsurface characteristics
of the seafloor and related activities in
federal waters of the Beaufort and
Chukchi Seas. Geotechnical borings are
collected to assess the structural
properties of subsurface soil conditions
for potential placement of oil and gas
installations, which may include
production and drilling platforms, ice
islands, anchor structures for floating
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:47 Nov 21, 2013
Jkt 232001
exploration drilling vessels, and
potential buried pipeline corridors.
Geotechnical surveys result in a
disturbance of the seafloor and produce
discharges consisting of soil, rock and
cuttings materials, in addition to
facility-specific waste streams
authorized under this general permit.
Geotechnical related activities also
result in a disturbance of the seafloor
and produce similar discharges. These
activities may include feasibility testing
of equipment that disturbs the seafloor,
and testing and evaluation of trenching
technologies.
DATES: Comments. The public comment
period for the draft Geotechnical
General Permit will be from the date of
publication of this Notice until January
27, 2014. Comments must be received or
post-marked by no later than midnight
Pacific Standard Time on January 27,
2014.
