Introduced by: Jennifer L. McClellan | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Water quality standards; modification of permits and certifications. Requires an applicant for a natural gas transmission pipeline greater than 36 inches inside diameter to submit in the application a detailed erosion and sediment control plan and stormwater management plan in accordance with applicable regulations and subject to Department of Environmental Quality (the Department) review, modification, or approval. The bill requires such plans to be included in the Department's draft certification and decreases from 15 percent to 10 percent the slope grade that requires the inclusion of a description of all activities that will occur in upland areas in such application. If such project fail to provide adequate plans, the bill directs the Department to deny rather than waive certification under the federal Clean Water Act.
