National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Water Transfers Rule

Fri, Jun 13 2008 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is issuing a regulation to clarify that water transfers are not subject to regulation under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program. This rule defines water transfers as an activity that conveys or connects waters of the United States without subjecting the transferred water to intervening industrial, municipal, or commercial use. This rule focuses exclusively on water transfers and does not affect any other activity that may be subject to NPDES permitting requirements.

This rule is consistent with EPA's June 7, 2006, proposed rule, which was based on an August 5, 2005, interpretive memorandum entitled ``Agency Interpretation on Applicability of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act to Water Transfers.''

EPA is proposing to determine that the Harrisburg-Lebanon- Carlisle, Pennsylvania nonattainment area for the 1997 fine particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) has attained the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.
