Effluent Limitations Guidelines and New Source Performance 
Standards for the Construction and Development Point Source Category; 
Announcement of Meetings

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice, announcement of meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA will conduct informational meetings on the upcoming 
Construction and Development (C&D) Effluent Guidelines proposed 
rulemaking. The Agency will provide an overview of the C&D project. EPA 
intends to propose effluent guidelines and standards for the C&D 
category in March 2002. The meetings are open to the public, and 
limited seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for meeting dates.

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for meeting locations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eric Strassler, Engineering and 
Analysis Division (4303), EPA Office of Water, 1200 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone (202) 260-7150; e-mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is developing proposed effluent 
limitations guidelines and standards for the C&D Point Source Category 
under authority of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). The 
C&D effluent guidelines will establish technology-based standards for 
discharges from construction sites regulated by the National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The C&D rule will cover 
construction activities associated with new development and re-
development. The regulations will address stormwater runoff from 
construction sites during the active phase of construction, as well as 
post-construction runoff. The industrial sectors which are being 
examined during the rulemaking include residential buildings, non-
residential buildings, heavy construction, and land development. 
Additional information is available on the C&D website at http://www.epa.gov/ost/guide/construction/.
    The meetings will provide an update on the development of the 
proposed rule. EPA will discuss the data collection efforts, the 
potential technology options, and the schedule for the C&D rulemaking. 
The meetings are not a mechanism for submitting formal comments. The 
meetings will not be recorded by a reporter nor transcribed for 
inclusion in the administrative record for the C&D rulemaking. Limited 
seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
    A more detailed agenda and other documents related to the C&D 
project will be available at the meetings. For those unable to attend a 
meeting, EPA will make documents available at the EPA website listed 
above, and they can be obtained by an e-mail or telephone request to 
Eric Strassler at the above address.
