Chair Laurie Rink summarized a meeting held with the Water Quality Control Division to discuss the Barr-Milton TMDL. This last meeting was designed to provide an opportunity for stakeholders and the Division to understand each others’ positions, and for stakeholders to understand how the TMDL would be implemented in the long term. Division representatives said there could still be some changes to the tables in the TMDL and that they might take some of the stakeholder’s suggestions.
Barr-Milton representatives were told that they could have one last look at the TMDL before it is submitted to the EPA, but there would be no further opportunity for comment unless there is a mistake in the document. The Division plans to use end-of-pipe measurements, presumably to make permitting easier. There is an appeal process available through the Commission.
