Anyone may submit written comments regarding this negotiated rulemaking. All written comments must be directed to the undersigned and must be delivered on or before Friday, June 6, 2008.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The temporary rule was adopted by the Board of Environmental Quality on March 12, 2008 with an effective date of April 2, 2008.
AUTHORITY: In compliance with Sections 67-5221(1) and 67-5226(1), Idaho Code, notice is hereby given that the Board of Environmental Quality has adopted a temporary rule and the Department of Environmental Quality is commencing proposed rulemaking. This action is authorized by Sections 39-105 and 39-107, Idaho Code, and House Bill 557 (to be codified at Section 39-114, Idaho Code).
PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULE: A public hearing concerning this proposed rule will be held as follows:
The hearing site(s) will be accessible to persons with disabilities. Requests for accommodation must be made no later than five (5) days prior to the hearing. For arrangements, contact the undersigned at (208) 373-0418.
DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement the provisions of House Bill 557, wherein the 2008 Idaho Legislature approved a program for the open burning of crop residue to be administered by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) and repealed the Smoke Management and Crop Residue Disposal Act previously administered by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA). Field burning has been prohibited in Idaho since January 2007 as a result of a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling. In December 2007 representatives of farming organizations, Safe Air for Everyone (SAFE), ISDA, and IDEQ agreed on various components of a program for the open burning of crop residue. House Bill 557 and this rule address the central components of that agreement.
This rule is modeled after the Nez Perce smoke management program which prohibits field burning if air quality levels exceed or are expected to exceed 75% of any national ambient air quality standard. Farmers are required to obtain a notice of approval to burn, provide notice of proposed burns, and pay a registration fee based upon the number of acres to be burned. The rule contains provisions to ensure that the public has ready access to this information. In addition, IDEQ is required to conduct ongoing and annual reviews of the program.
Adoption of this temporary rule does not in itself authorize the open burning of crop residue in Idaho. Before burning can resume in Idaho, several actions must take place, including development of a revised State Implementation Plan (SIP) and approval of the SIP by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Farmers desiring to burn crop residue, members of the regulated community who may be subject to Idaho's air quality rules as well as special interest groups (including SAFE), ISDA, tribes, public officials, and members of the public who have an interest in the regulation of air emissions from sources in Idaho may be interested in commenting on this proposed rule. The proposed rule text is in legislative format. Language the agency proposes to add is underlined. Language the agency proposes to delete is struck out. It is these additions and deletions to which public comment should be addressed.
After consideration of public comments, DEQ intends to present the final proposal to the Board of Environmental Quality in October 2008 for adoption of a pending rule. The pending rule is expected to become final upon adjournment of the 2009 legislative session if adopted by the Board and approved by the Legislature.
TEMPORARY RULE JUSTIFICATION: Pursuant to Section 67-5226(1)(c), Idaho Code, the Governor has found that temporary adoption of the rule is appropriate in that the rules confers a benefit. Adoption of a temporary rule, along with other required actions, will ensure protection of public health and the environment and will enable farmers to use the tool of burning within a program agreed upon by SAFE, ISDA, IDEQ, and other interested parties.
NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING: The text of the rule has been drafted based on discussions held and concerns raised during negotiations conducted pursuant to Section 67-5220, Idaho Code, and IDAPA 04.11.01.812-815. On February 6, 2008, the Notice of Negotiated Rulemaking was published in the Idaho Administrative Bulletin, Vol. 08-2, page 31, and a preliminary draft rule was made available for public review. Meetings were held on February 12, 15, and 21, 2008. Several members of the public participated in this negotiated rulemaking process by attending the meetings and by submitting written comments.
IDAHO CODE SECTION 67-5221(c) FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT: The adoption of this rule will have one time initial start-up expenses of $186,700 as well as ongoing program costs estimated to be $419,700 for a total impact of $606,377 to the general fund for FY2009. All future receipts remitted to the state for field burning under this rule shall be transferred to the general fund to help with ongoing program costs. At this time, it is unknown how much funding will come from this dedicated source annually.
IDAHO CODE SECTION 39-107D STATEMENT: This rule does not regulate an activity not regulated by the federal government, nor is it broader in scope or more stringent than federal regulations.
ASSISTANCE ON TECHNICAL QUESTIONS AND SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN COMMENTS: For assistance on questions concerning the negotiated rulemaking, contact Martin Bauer at (208)373-0440, martin.bauer@deq.idaho.gov.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT RULE: By April 2, 2008, the preliminary draft rule can be obtained at http://www.deq.idaho.gov/rules/drinking_water/58_0108_0801_negotiated.cfm or by contacting Paula Wilson at paula.wilson@deq.idaho.gov, (208)373-0418.
DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: Under the provisions of IDAPA 58.01.08, Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems, a water main extension, whether approved for construction by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or by a qualified licensed professional engineer (QLPE), is a material modification to the public water system. The current rules define a simple water main extension as an extension that can be supplied without adding pumping capacity. The current rules also specify that all portions of the existing system that are affected by the line extension must be in compliance with the rules in effect at the time the project is reviewed and approved. This requirement could in some cases require upgrades to existing parts of the water system to meet criteria for pumping redundancy, standby power, fire flow, and other applicable rule requirements such as completion of a facility plan.
The objective of this rulemaking is to modify the recently updated Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems so that the engineering community can approve simple water main extensions as intended by 2005 SB 1220 and as codified at Section 39-118, Idaho Code.
The preliminary draft rule will include the following proposed revisions:
Modify the content of facility plans and preliminary engineering reports contained in Sections 502 and 503, respectively;
Clarify separation requirements for sources of contamination from public drinking water wells (Sections 510, 512, and 900);
Add and clarify design requirements for drinking water distribution systems (Section 542);
Further define storage structures and facilities (Section 544); and
Clarify several operating criteria for public drinking water systems (Section 552).
This rulemaking will also include any necessary corrections that are typographical and nonsubstantive in nature (e.g., making corrections for consistency with other sections in this rule chapter, IDAPA 58.01.16, Wastewater Rules, and other DEQ rules). These changes will be based on feedback from the regulated community and DEQ staff who routinely use the rules.
Drinking water system owners and operators, developers, consultants, engineers, cities, counties, industry, drinking water professional organizations, and the public at large may be interested in participating in this rulemaking. Upon conclusion of negotiations, DEQ intends to publish a proposed rule for public comment in the summer of 2008 and then present the final proposal to the Board of Environmental Quality for adoption of a pending rule in the fall of 2008. If adopted, the pending rule will be reviewed by the 2009 Idaho Legislature.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT: By April 23, 2008, a preliminary draft of the rule can be obtained at http://www.deq.idaho.gov/rules/risk/58_0124_0801_negotiated.cfm or by contacting Paula Wilson at paula.wilson@deq.idaho.gov, (208)373-0418.
DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: DEQ is faced with the task of approving and overseeing appropriate response actions at hundreds of petroleum release sites across the state. In June 2004, DEQ issued the Idaho Risk Evaluation Manual (REM). This manual describes an integrated risk evaluation process for managing chemical release sites that assist DEQ in determining the need for corrective action and, when necessary, the site-specific cleanup levels protective of human health and the environment. The manual also describes the key methodologies and elements of the risk evaluation process. This rulemaking has been initiated to formalize the critical elements of the REM that are pertinent to evaluation of petroleum release sites in order to clarify and promote consistent corrective action decision-making at these sites.
This rule will describe standards and procedures for application of risk based corrective action at petroleum release sites. The text of the rule will be developed by DEQ in conjunction with a negotiating committee made up of persons having an interest in the promulgation of these rules. Cities, counties, bankers, lenders, realtors, petroleum marketers, consultants, and members of the public may be interested in participating in this rulemaking.
Upon conclusion of negotiations, DEQ intends to publish a proposed rule for public comment in the summer of 2008 and then present the final proposal to the Board of Environmental Quality for adoption of a pending rule in the fall of 2008. If adopted, the pending rule will be reviewed by the 2009 Idaho Legislature.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT: A preliminary draft of the rule can be obtained at http://www.deq.idaho.gov/rules/wastewater_loans/58_0112_0801_negotiated.cfm or by contacting Paula Wilson at paula.wilson@deq.idaho.gov, (208)373-0418.
DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: This rulemaking has been initiated to provide flexibility to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in its use of loan fees to meet statewide planning needs, to reduce administrative burden on a majority of wastewater loan recipients, and to achieve administrative efficiency.
The preliminary draft rule will include the following proposed revisions:
This rulemaking will also include any necessary corrections that are typographical and nonsubstantive in nature (e.g., making corrections for consistency with IDAPA 58.01.20, Rules for Administration of Drinking Water Loan Program, and other DEQ rules).
Cities, counties, districts, engineering firms, public health districts, soil conservation districts, nonprofit organizations (conservation/environmental/agricultural), Association of Idaho Cities, Association of Idaho Counties, individual property owners and associations that own and operate wastewater treatment facilities or engage in or are considering nonpoint source projects may be interested in participating in this rulemaking. Some or all would have an interest in the ability of individuals to qualify for loans to address nonpoint source issues, reduction of administrative burden on the majority of loan applicants, and the expansion of the use of fees to meet increasing planning costs.
Upon conclusion of negotiations, DEQ intends to publish a proposed rule for public comment in the summer of 2008 and then present the final proposal to the Board of Environmental Quality for adoption of a pending rule in the fall of 2008. If adopted, the pending rule will be reviewed by the 2009 Idaho Legislature.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT: A preliminary draft of the rule can be obtained at http://www.deq.idaho.gov/rules/air/58_0101_0801_negotiated.cfm or by contacting Paula Wilson at paula.wilson@deq.idaho.gov, (208)373-0418.
DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY: Farmers desiring to burn crop residue, Safe Air for Everyone (SAFE), Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) have agreed on various components of a Crop Residue Disposal (CRD) Program. The farmers will introduce legislation during the 2008 session to address the central components of the CRD Program; however, it is necessary to promulgate rules, subject to public input, to address the details and implement the legislation. Due to extremely tight time constraints, the rule must be negotiated in conjunction with the introduction and passage of the legislation.
Farmers desiring to burn crop residue, members of the regulated community who may be subject to Idaho's air quality rules as well as special interest groups (including SAFE), ISDA, tribes, public officials, and members of the public who have an interest in the regulation of air emissions from sources in Idaho may wish to participate in this rulemaking. Upon conclusion of negotiations, DEQ intends to present a rule to the Board of Environmental Quality for temporary adoption in March of 2008. If adopted by the Board, DEQ will then publish the temporary rule and initiate proposed rulemaking.
