The Director of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) invites the public to present its views and comments on DDOE’s proposed rulemaking on stormwater management and soil erosion and sediment control at the public hearing identified above. This rulemaking would amend chapter 5 (Water Quality and Pollution) of title 21 (Water and Sanitation) of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR), comprehensively amending the stormwater regulations and the soil erosion and sediment control regulations. Specifically, these amendments repeal and replace §§ 500 to 545 and 599, and add §§ 546, 547, and 552. This notice refers to this rulemaking as the “second proposed rule.”
The second proposed rule and a discussion of the process and background of this rulemaking are available via http://ddoe.dc.gov/proposedstormwaterrule and at 60 DCR 8493 (June 7, 2013).
The Director of DDOE also invites the public to present its views and comments on the current draft of the Stormwater Management Guidebook (SWMG), which provides guidance on complying with the second proposed rule. DDOE refers to this version of SWMG as the “second proposed SWMG.” The second proposed SWMG is available via http://ddoe.dc.gov/proposedstormwaterrule.
DDOE will consider oral statements provided at the public hearing. A person need not attend the public hearing in order to submit comments on the second proposed rulemaking or second proposed SWMG. Instructions for submitting written comments are presented at 60 DCR 8493 (June 7, 2013). However, for the accuracy of the record, DDOE requests that all comments also be submitted in writing. DDOE will accept written comments on both the second proposed rule and the second proposed SWMG throughout the comment period, which runs through July 8, 2013.
