Pursuant to the requirements in the Basic Standards (at 31.7(3)), the Commission reviewed the status of temporary modifications scheduled to expire before December 31, 2016, to determine whether the temporary modification should be modified, eliminated or extended. Temporary modifications of standards on 2 segments were reviewed.

Extension: The Commission extended the expiration date of ammonia temporary modifications on the following segments.

La Plata, etc. segments 7a and 8c

Temporary modifications of the ammonia standards for these segments, due to expire on 6/30/2015, were extended to 6/30/2016. The Division is working with small domestic dischargers on these segments to explore the possibility of proposing discharger specific variances. Progress continues to be made to improve water treatment for these segments.
