[FR Doc. 2015–06205 Filed 3–18–15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717–01–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL–9923–75–Region 5] Sole Source Aquifer Designation of the Mahomet Aquifer System in EastCentral Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). AGENCY: ACTION: Notice of final determination. Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Section 1424(e) and in response to a petition by a coalition of cities, a town, villages, and a public university in east-central Illinois, the Regional Administrator for Region 5 of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that a portion of the Mahomet Aquifer System in eastcentral Illinois is a sole or principal source of drinking water and if contaminated, would create a significant hazard to public health. As a result of this action, all projects receiving Federal financial assistance are subject to review by EPA regarding whether such projects may contaminate the designated aquifer system through a recharge zone so as to create a significant hazard to public health. SUMMARY: This determination is effective immediately. Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Spaulding, EPA Region 5, Water Division, Ground Water and Drinking Water Branch, by mail at 77 W. Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604; by telephone at (312) 886–9262; or by email at spaulding.william@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:18 Mar 18, 2015 Jkt 235001 I. Background Section 1424(e) of the SDWA provides as follows: If the Administrator determines, on his own initiative or upon petition, that an area has an aquifer which is the sole or principal drinking water source for the area and which, if contaminated, would create a significant hazard to public health, he shall publish notice of that determination in the Federal Register. After the publication of any such notice, no commitment for Federal financial assistance (through a grant, contract, loan guarantee, or otherwise) may be entered into for any project which the Administrator determines may contaminate such aquifer through a recharge zone so as to create a significant hazard to public health, but a commitment for Federal financial assistance may, if authorized under another provision of law, be entered into to plan or design the project to assure that it will not so contaminate the aquifer. 42 U.S.C. 300h–3(e). The authority to designate an aquifer under this section has been delegated to the Regional Administrator. EPA in general considers a ‘‘sole or principal source’’ or sole source aquifer (SSA) to be an aquifer or aquifer system that is needed to supply fifty percent or more of the drinking water ‘‘for the aquifer service area,’’ and for which there is no reasonably available alternative source or sources that could physically, legally, and economically supply those dependent upon the aquifer. See U.S. EPA, 1987, Sole Source Aquifer Designation Decision Process, Petition Review Guidance (‘‘EPA Petition Review Guidance’’). A portion of an aquifer can be designated if it is hydrogeologically separate from the rest of the aquifer. Id. at 6. Similarly, a system of hydrogeologically connected aquifers can be designated as an SSA. Id. On December 12, 2012, EPA received a petition to designate a portion of the Mahomet Aquifer System in east-central Illinois as an SSA from the City of Champaign and several partners, including the Cities of Urbana, Delavan, and Gilman; the Town of Normal; the Villages of Savoy, Mansfield, and Mahomet; and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Following receipt of the petition, additional entities expressed support for the petition, including Champaign and DeWitt Counties; the Cities of Clinton and Watseka; the Villages of Armington and PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 FC15–2–000 FC15–3–000 FC15–4–000 Waynesville; and the Illinois-American Water Company. In response to the petition, EPA published a notice of its intent to designate a portion of the Mahomet Aquifer System in east-central Illinois as an SSA and announced two Public Hearings in Champaign, Illinois on May 13, 2014, and in Morton, Illinois on May 14, 2014. This notice was published in two newspapers of general circulation in the area: The Champaign News Gazette and Peoria Journal Star, on March 12, 2014. This notice also announced the request for written comments during the public comment period from March 13, 2014 to June 12, 2014. The public comments received by EPA generally support designation. EPA also received significant comments and additional scientific studies on the geology of the Mahomet Aquifer System during the comment period. These comments and additional studies required extensive evaluation and consideration. EPA has responded to the public comments in a document titled: ‘‘Responsiveness Summary—Sole Source Aquifer Petition for the Mahomet Aquifer System in EastCentral Illinois—March 2015.’’ The Responsiveness Summary and other relevant documents are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following locations: Champaign Public Library, 200 W. Green St., Champaign, Illinois; Bloomington Public Library, 205 E. Olive St., Bloomington, Illinois; Pekin Public Library, 301 S. Fourth St., Pekin, Illinois; Havana Public Library, 201 W. Adams St., Havana, Illinois; Watseka Public Library, 201 S. 4th St., Watseka, Illinois; U.S. EPA’s Region 5 Office Library, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois. II. Description of Mahomet Aquifer System in East-Central Illinois The Mahomet Aquifer is located in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and possibly West Virginia. This SSA designation is for a hydraulically and hydrogeologically distinct portion of the aquifer system in east-central Illinois bounded in the east by the Iroquois River and the North Fork of the Vermilion River and in the west by the Illinois River. Within the SSA area, deposits of saturated sand or sand and gravel found within the Quaternary E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM 19MRN1
