EPA is offering two separate upcoming Clean Water Act actions by EPA. The first is Alaska's Revised Water Quality Standards, and second is Alaska's 2020 Integrated Water Quality and Monitoring Assessment Report. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's revisions to state water quality standards removing secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels for Fluoride and Odor, submitted to EPA for review on June 3, 2003. EPA has not prioritized review of this water quality standards submittal in past years because ADEC has not relied on the secondary standards in decision making; however, with the recent Agency focus to reduce the water quality standards packages in the backlog, EPA now plans to take CWA action on the submittal. The State of Alaska recently released the draft 2020 Integrated Report for public review and anticipates submitting the final Integrated Report to EPA in the April-May timeframe. CONTACT: Hanh Shaw 206-553-0171 shaw.hanh@epa.gov E15 Fuel Dispenser Labeling and Compatibility with Underground Storage Tanks END DATE: April 21. EPA is proposing two actions regarding the E15 label requirement. First, EPA proposes to modify the text and color of the E15 label. Second, EPA proposes to remove the E15 label requirement entirely. EPA is also proposing changes to our underground storage tank compatibility demonstration requirements that would help enable use of E15 and higher-level ethanol blends. EPA expects this action will have tribal implications to the extent that tribally owned entities sell or intend to sell E15 and own UST systems on Indian country. However, it will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. For more information about this proposed rule as well as instructions on how to comment, please see the E15 Label Revisions and E15 Compatibility with Underground Storage Tanks web page.
