Cathy,

iust to recap yesterday afternoon?s conversation with Speaker Kurt Doubt and Rep. Dan Fabian of the
MN Legislature.



After a discussion of a biil that is being debated in the MN state legisiature that would limit MPCAS
ability to impose a numerical standard for Sulfides, the Speaker asked if you wouid support their action
(legisiation). You did not commit to supporting their legislation, but rather you responded that what you
could do is respect the MN legislative process and would reach out to and work with iohn Linc Stein on
the implementation of any poiicies or rules needed to implement their IVIPDES program. In addition, you
noted your commitment to resolve the longstanding MPDES impasse.

Dear Mr. Lyons:

Enclosed is the Addendum to the NPDES Memorandum of Agreement between the US.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA). The addendum amends the agreement to ensure that the provisions of Minn. R.
Ch. 7052 for the Lake Superior Basin are implemented in a manner consistent with the
Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System required by section 118 (2) of the
Clean Water Act.

Also enclosed is a letter from the of?ce of the Attorney General of Minnesota certifying
the legal authority of the MPCA to interpret and implement the provisions described in
the addendum.

The process of implementing the Guidance has been a long one, but it is a pleasure to

?nally complete these protections for what is arguably the ?nest water body in the world.
The real work is still ahead.

ADDENDUM
TO THE
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
AND THE
UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, REGION 

The federal Water Quality Guidance for the Great Lakes System (hereafter Federal Guidance) required by
section 118(c)(2) of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et. seq.) is set out in 40 C.F.R. Part 132. The
Federal Guidance identifies minimum water quality standards, antidegradation policies, and
implementation procedures for the Great Lakes System to protect human health, aquatic life, and wildlife.
The Federal Guidance requires Great Lakes states and tribes to adopt provisions consistent with the
Federal Guidance for their waters within the Great Lakes system. The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (hereafter MPCA) adopted Lake Superior Basin Water Standards in Minnesota Rules chapter 7052
as Minnesota?s response to that requirement. Chapter 7052 became effective on March 9, 1998. EPA has
conducted its review of Minnesota?s response for compliance with Federal Guidance.

The Memorandum of Agreement between the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
(hereafter EPA), and the MPCA for the approval of the state National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (hereafter NPDES) is hereby amended to ensure that Minnesota?s Lake Superior Basin Water
Standards and implementation procedures in chapter 7052 are implemented in a manner that is consistent
with the Federal Guidance.

The duties assumed by the MPCA in this Addendum apply only to those portions of Minnesota?s NPDES
program applicable to Lake Superior.

1. 40 C.F.R. 132.2, De?nition of ?New Great Lakes Discharger?!Minn. R. 7052.0010,
subp. 33

MPCA and EPA agree that if the MPCA receives any application for a NPDES permit for any
Great Lakes discharge associated with any building, structure, facility, or installation, the
construction of which commenced after March 23, 1997, the MPCA will treat the discharger as if
it were a ?new discharger.?

2. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix A, Tier II Values for Aquatic Life/Minn. R. 7052.0100

MPCA and EPA agree that, in situations where data have become available that would result in
more stringent aquatic life criteria or values than the criteria listed in Minn. R. 7050.0222, the
MPCA will utilize its Tier II methodologies in Minn. R. 70520110 to develop criteria or values,
and those criteria or values shall be used rather than those listed in Minn. R. 70500222, for
implementing Minnesota?s narrative criteria, establishing total maximum daily loads, establishing
water quality based ef?uent limitations, and making reasonable potential determinations.

 



 

 

3. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix E, Antidegradation/Minn. R. 7052.0300, subp. 3

EPA and MPCA agree that, in making NPDES permitting decisions regarding new or increased
discharges into class 7 waters in the Lake Superior basin, MPCA shall always apply and comply
with the nondegradation provisions for high quality waters set forth at Minn. R. 70520300, subp. 4,
and in Minn. R. 70520310, subp. 3, for class 7 waters for all pollutants covered by Appendix 
to Part 132 because application and compliance with those provisions will always be necessary to
ensure compliance with the antidegradation requirements applicable to outstanding
international resource waters and outstanding resource value waters.

4. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Reasonable Potential To Exceed Water
Quality Standards, Paragraph B.2./Minn. R. 7052.0220, subp. 3

EPA and MPCA agree that MPCA will use only alternative statistical procedures for deriving PEQ
that meet the criteria in 40 CPR. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Paragraph 32 EPA and
MPCA further agree that EPA retains the authority to review any specific statistical procedures
Minnesota intends to use for deriving PEQs and to object to permits that have been developed
using statistical procedures that do not meet the requirements of Paragraph B2 of Procedure 5.

5. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Paragraph Information Regarding
Intake Credits in NPDES Permit Fact Sheets/Minn. R. 7052.0220, subp. 5, and 7001.0100,
subp. 3

EPA and MPCA agree that MPCA will include the information required by Paragraph D.3.c.i of
Procedure 5 in Appendix to 40 CPR. Part 132 whenever the MPCA determines there is no
reasonable potential for the discharge of an intake pollutant to cause or contribute to an excursion
above water quality criteria.

6. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 8, Paragraph D, Water Quality-Based Ef?uent
Limitations (WQBELS) Below the Quantification Level: Pollutant Minimization
Program/Minn. R. 7052.0250, subp. 4

EPA and MPCA agree that Minnesota will include in NPDES permits for discharges into Lake
Superior where there is a WQBEL for a pollutant that is below the level of quantification a
requirement for at least semiannual monitoring of potential sources of the pollutant at issue and
quarterly in?uent monitoring, unless less frequent monitoring is justified based upon information
generated in conducting a pollutant minimization program.

7. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 9 and 40 C.F.R. Compliance
Schedules for New or More Restrictive R. 7001.0150, subp 2.A and Minn.
R. 7052.0260, subp. 2 and 3

EPA and MPCA agree that Minnesota will not allow compliance schedules for WQBELs in
NPDES permits where none is needed or appropriate. For example, Minnesota will not allow
compliance schedules where a permittee is able to meet the WQBEL at the time of permit issuance
or where the permit contains a new but less restrictive WQBEL.

 



 

8. 40 C.F.R. ?122.47, Compliance Schedules for New or Improved Analytical
Methods/Minn. R. 7052.0260, subp. 2 and 3

Minnesota rules require compliance schedules when permits that are issued contain new or
improved analytical methods. Minn. R. 70520260, subp. 2 and 3. The Federal Guidance does not
address compliance schedules for using analytical methods. That issue is governed by 
NPDES program regulations at 40 C.F.R. 122.47, which provides that permits may include a
schedule of compliance so long as the permit ?require[s] compliance as soon as possible.? 40
C.F.R. This provision authorizes Minnesota to allow compliance schedules for use
of a new or improved analytical method if such schedules require use of the new analytical method
?as soon as possible.? Minn. R. 70010150, subp. 2.A., provides that a compliance schedule ?must
require compliance in the shortest reasonable period of time.?

EPA and Minnesota agree that ?the shortest reasonable period of timeimproved analytical method would generally be the period of time necessary to allow a permittee
to develop or obtain the analytical services or undertake any other activities necessary to allow the
permittee to actually use the new analytical method. EPA and Minnesota also agree that it would
be unreasonable to establish a compliance schedule for using a new or improved analytical method
that includes additional time based upon the permittee?s ability to comply with its WQBEL.

This Addendum to the Memorandum of Agreement will be effective upon final approval of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency.

Re: Legal Authority to Interpret and Implement the Speci?c Provisions of
Minnesota Rules Chapter 7052 Addressed in the Addendum to the NPDES
Memorandum of Agreement Between MPCA and EPA

Dear Mr. Lyons:

I have reviewed the agreements that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has
made in the Addendum to the NPDES Memorandum of Agreement between the MPCA and EPA. It is
my opinion that the MPCA has the legal authority to interpret and implement the specific rules at issue
as it has agreed to in the Addendum.

The authority of the MPCA is found in the statutes and rules of the State cited in the following
text. They are in full force and effect on the date of this statement.

1. 40 C.F.R. 132.2, Definition of ?New Great Lakes Discharger?!Minn. R. 7052.0010,
subp. 33

40 C.F.R. 132.2 defines ?New Great Lakes discharger? as ?any building, structure, facility, or
installation from which there is or may be a ?discharge of pollutants? (as defined in 40 CPR. 122.2) to
the Great Lakes System, the construction of which commenced after March 23, 1997.? Minn.
R. 70520010, subp. 33, in pertinent part, defines a ?new discharger? as ?any building, structure,
facility, or installation from which there is or may be a ?discharge of pollutants,? as defined in Code of
Federal Regulations, title 40, section 122.2, to surface waters of the state in the Lake Superior
Basin . . . the construction of which commenced after? March 9, 1998. The only problem identified in
comparing the two definitions arises from the difference in the effective dates in the two definitions.

MPCA and EPA have agreed in the Addendum to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System Memorandum of Agreement between the MPCA and the EPA (Addendum) that if the MPCA
receives any application for a NPDES permit for any Great Lakes discharge associated with any
building, structure, facility, or installation, the construction Of which commenced after March 23,
1997, the MPCA will. treat the discharger as if it were a ?new discharger.?

As of the date of this certification, in late April 2000, Minnesota has not received any

application for a NPDES permit for any Great Lakes discharge associated with any building, structure,

Mr.? Francis X. Lyons

facility or installation, the construction of which commenced between March 23, 1997, and March 9,
1998.

Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. authorizes the MPCA to adopt, issue, modify, deny, revoke,
and enforce reasonable permits, under such conditions as the agency may prescribe, for the prevention
of water pollution and for the operation of disposal systems and other facilities. Under Minn. Stat.
115.07, subd. 1, and rules adopted under that statute, it is unlawful for any person to construct,
install, or operate a disposal system, or any part thereof, until it has received a permit from the MFCA.
See Minn. R. 700l.0030 and 7001.1040.

The definitions of ?disposal system? and the terms used in that definition, all in Minn. Stat.
115.01, signify that sections 115.03 and 115.07, and rules adopted under those statutes, impose a
comprehensive permitting requirement on all buildings, structures, facilities and installations covered
by the state and federal requirements. By operation of those statutory provisions any construction
during the subject period without a permit would have been contrary to law and could not serve as the
basis for an argument that the ?new discharger? deadline had not passed as to that construction or
resulting discharge. As a result, the MPCA would have to treat any application received new or later
for a NPDES permit for any Lake Superior discharge associated with any building, structure, facility or
installation the construction of which commenced after March 23, 1997, as an application from a ?new
discharger.?

2. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix A, Tier II Values for Aquatic Life/Minn. R. 7052.0100

40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix A, contains a methodology for deriving Tier II aquatic life values
to be used in lieu of Tier I criteria in situations where there are insufficient data to calculate Tier I
criteria. 40 CPR. 132.4 and provide that, if Tier 1 criteria are not available, Tier II aquatic
life values calculated in accordance with the Tier II methodology apply in the Great Lakes System and
must be used when implementing narrative water quality criteria.

Under Minn. R. 7052.0100, Tier I aquatic life criteria apply to the Great Lakes System. If
Minnesota has not adopted Tier I aquatic life criteria for a particular pollutant, but there are criteria
listed in Minn. R. 7050.0222 for that pollutant that Minnesota previously adopted, then Minnesota uses
the previously adopted aquatic life criteria. That is, Minnesota does not generate TierII values
utilizing its methodology for developing Tier II values in Minn. R. 70520110 if Minnesota has
previously adopted criteria listed in Minn. R. 7050,0222. If there are no Tierl aquatic life criteria or
previously adopted criteria listed in Minn. R. 70500222, Minnesota utilizes its Tier II methodologies
to develop Tier II aquatic life values.

However, new data could become available subsequent to the date that Minnesota adopted its
criteria at Minn. R. 7050.0222 that would result in more stringent TierII aquatic values under the
Minnesota and Federal Guidance Tier II aquatic life methodologies. Unlike in the Federal Guidance,
nothing in Minnesota?s rules requires the MPCA to develop new Tier II values based upon those new
data in situations where there are criteria in Minn. R. 7050.0222. Thus, the Minn. R. 7050.0222
criteria may not be as stringent as the criteria would be if derived using the more current data,
assuming the data were to indicate that more stringent values were appropriate.

 



 

Mr. Francis X. Lyons
May 1, 2000
Page 3

To resolve that potential inconsistency, MPCA and EPA have agreed that, in situations where
data have become availabie that would result in more stringent aquatic life criteria or values than the
criteria listed in Minn. R. 70500222, the MPCA will utilize its TierII methodologies in Minn.
R. 70520110 to deveIOp criteria or values to be used for implementing its narrative criteria,
establishing totai maximum daily loads, establishing water quality based ef?uent 1imitations, and
making reasonable potentiai determinations.

The authority for MPCA to make that agreement appears in Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. 5,
which authorizes the MPCA to do all things, including adopting, amending and appiying standards and
rules, consistent with and not less stringent than the Clean Water Act applicable to the participation by
Minnesota in the NPDES. The MPCA has agreed in the Addendum to apply its standards in a manner
consistent with the Clean Water Act and Minnesota?s participation in the NPDES, exactly what the
Minnesota statute contemplates. See also Minn. Stat. 115.44, subd. 8, as further support for the
State?s authority to utilize its Tier II methodologies.

Minn. R. 7001.0150, subp. 2 and 3.13., require the MPCA to include in permits conditions
necessary for the permittee to achieve compliance with applicable federal law and allow the MPCA to
adopt and enforce more stringent standards and apply them to existing permits.

3. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix E, Antidegradation/Minn. R. 7052,0300, subp. 3

40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix E, regarding the Great Lakes Water Quality Initiative
Antidegradation Poiicy, requires that the decision whether a water body is high quality for purposes of
antidegradation be made on a parameter by parameter basis. Minnesota?s nondegradation standards at
Minn. R. 7052.0300, subp. 4, limit high quality waters in the Lake Superior basis to those designated
as Outstanding International Resource Waters (OIRWs). Minnesota rules define OIRWs at subpart 3
of part 70520300 as, ?[a]ll surface waters of the state in the Lake Superior Basin, other than Class 7
waters and designated That definition appears to raise a con?ict with the Federal Guidance
because Class 7 waters cannot be considered high quality waters by definition, regardless of water
quality for individual bioaccumulative chemicais of concern (BCCs) as required by the Federal
Guidance. However, Minn. R. 70520300, subp. 1.C., requires that the nondegradation procedures at
Minn. R. 70520310, 70520320, and 70520330 must be applied to Class 7 waters as necessary to
protect waters.

EPA and MPCA have agreed in the Addendum that in making NPDES permitting decisions
regarding new or increased discharges into class 7 waters in the Lake Superior basin, MPCA shall
always apply and compiy with the nondegradation provisions for high quality waters set forth at Minn.
R. 7052.0300, subp. 4, and in Minn. R. 7052.0310, subp. 3, for class ?7 waters for all pollutants covered
by Appendix to Part 132 because application and compliance with those provisions will always be
necessary to ensure compiiance with the antidegredation requirements applicable to 
outstanding international resource waters and outstanding resource value waters.

The authority for MPCA to make that agreement appears in Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. 5,
which authorizes the MPCA to do all things, including applying standards and rules consistent with

and not less stringent than the Clean Water Act applicable to the participation by Minnesota in the
NPDES. Further authority is found in the rule, Minn. R. 70520300, subp. 1.C., cited as the resolution
to the potential inconsistency, in Minn. R. 70520005 B., and in Minn. R. 70010150, subp. 2 and 3.B,
as described in the preceding section of this ietter.

4. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Reasonable Potential To Exceed Water
Quality Standards, Paragraph B.2./Minn. R. 70520220, subp. 3

The Federal Guidance at 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Paragraph B2, and
Minnesota?s program at Minn. R. 70520220, subp. 3, both aliow for use of alternative statistical
procedures for deriving preliminary ef?uent quaiity (PEQ). The Minnesota rule provides that any
alternate PEQ procedure used must fuifill the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 122.44, para. While
any alternate procedure that meets the requirements of Paragraph 13.2. of Procedure 5 would meet the
requirements of 40 C.F.R. certain procedures that meet the Minnesota requirements,
40 C.F.R. may not satisfy the requirements of Paragraph 8.2. of Procedure 5.

EPA and MPCA have agreed that MPCA wili use oniy alternative statistical procedures for
deriving PEQ that meet the criteria in 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Paragraph B2.

The authority for the MPCA to make that agreement appears in Minn. Stat. 11503, subd. 5,
which authorizes the MPCA to do ail things, including applying standards and rules consistent with
and not less stringent than the Clean Water Act applicabie to the participation by Minnesota in the
NPDES. The MPCA has agreed in the Addendum to apply its standards in a manner consistent with
the Ciean Water Act and Minnesota?s participation in the NPDES. Further the action MPCA has
agreed to lies within an administrative agency?s generally accepted enforcement discretion. Minn.
R. 70010150, subp. 2 and 3.13, as described in Section 3, express further authority for the 
agreement.

5. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 5, Paragraph Information
Regarding Intake Credits in NPDES Permit Fact Sheets/Minn. R. 70520220, subp. 5, and
70010100, subp. 3

Paragraph D.3.b. of Procedure 5 in Appendix to 40 C.F.R. Part 132, allows permitting
authorities to determine that there is no reasonable potential for identified intake pollutants to cause or
contribute to an excursion above water quality criteria when a permittee can demonstrate that five
specified conditions are met. Paragraph D.3.c.i. requires the NPDES permit fact sheet to state the basis
for and document the finding of no reasonable potential for chemical-specific water quality based
effiuent limitation. Whiie Minnesota?s ?intake credit? provisions require meeting the same five
conditions as in the Federal Guidance, they do not contain anything comparable to the requirement in
Paragraph D.3.c.i. to document in the permit fact sheet the basis for a finding of no reasonable
potential for chemical-specific water quality based ef?uent limitation.

However, Minnesota?s general permitting rule at Minn. R. 70010100, subp. 3, requires the
MPCA to include in the fact sheet ?the principai facts and the significant factual, legal,
methodological, and policy questions considered in preparing the draft permit, . . . a summary of the

 



 

 

Mr: Francis X. Lyons

basis for the draft permit conditions, including references to applicable statutory or regulatory
provisions, . . . and the preliminary determinations made by the commissioner on the permit
application.? These general provisions include the information required by Paragraph D.3.c.i. in the
Federal Guidance whenever the MPCA determines there is no reasonable potential for the discharge of
an intake pollutant to cause or contribute to an excursion above water quality criteria.

EPA and MPCA have agreed that MPCA will include the information required by Paragraph
D.3.c.i. of Procedure 5 in Appendix to 40 C.F.R. Part 132 whenever the MPCA determines there is
no reasonable potential for the discharge of an intake pollutant to cause or contribute to an excursion
above water quality criteria.

The authority for the MPCA to make that agreement appears in Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. 5,
which authorizes the MPCA to do all things, including applying standards and rules consistent with
and not less stringent than the Clean Water Act applicable to the participation by Minnesota in the
NPDES. The MPCA has agreed in the Addendum to apply its standards in a manner consistent with
the Ciean Water Act and Minnesota?s participation in the NPDES. The authority also resides in Minn.
R. 7001.0100, subp. 3, which requires inclusion in the fact sheet for each draft MPCA permit facts
such as agreed to here.

6. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 8, Paragraph D, Water Quality-Based
Ef?uent Limitations (WQBELS) Below the Quanti?cation Level: Pollutant Minimization
Program/Minn. R. 7052.0250, subp. 4

Paragraph of Procedure 8 in Appendix to 40 C.F.R. Part 132, requires inclusion of
pollutant minimization programs (PMPS) in permits where there is a WQBEL for a poilutant that is
below the levei of quantification. Paragraph D.l. requires semiannual monitoring of potential sources
of the pollutant while Paragraph DZ. requires quarterly monitoring for the poilutant in the effluent of
the wastewater treatment system. Finally, Paragraph D6. allows a permitting authority to reduce
monitoring frequencies based upon information generated as a result of a PMP.

Minn. R. 7052.02.50, subp.4, requires only that PMPs include requirements for ?periodic
monitoring? of potentiai pollutant sources and of wastewater treatment system influent.

EPA and MPCA have agreed that Minnesota will require in its NPDES permits for discharges
into Lake Superior where there is a WQBEL for a pollutant that is below the level of quantification a
requirement for at least semiannual monitoring of potential sources of the pollutant at issue and
quarterly influent monitoring, unless less frequent monitoring is justified based upon information
generated in conducting a pollutant minimization program.

The authority for the MPCA to make that agreement appears in Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. 5,
which authorizes the MPCA to do all things, including adopting, amending and applying standards and
rules, consistent with and not less stringent than the Clean Water Act applicable to the participation by
Minnesota in the NPDES. The MPCA has agreed in the Addendum to apply its standards in a manner
consistent with the Clean Water Act and Minnesota?s participation in the NPDES. The Minnesota rule
requires periodic monitoring. Making that general requirement specific as to the period at which

 


1

 

Mr: Francis X. Lyons

Page 6

monitoring shall take place lies within the generally accepted enforcement discretion.
Further, Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. authorizes the MPCA to adopt, issue, modify, deny, revoke,
and enforce reasonable permits, under such conditions as the agency may prescribe, for the prevention
of water pollution and for the operation of disposal systems and other facilities. See also, Minn.
R. 7001.0150, subp. 2 and 3B, as described in section 3 of this letter.

7. 40 C.F.R. Part 132, Appendix F, Procedure 9 and 40 C.F.R. Compliance
Schedules for New or More Restrictive R. 7001.0150, subp 2.A and Minn.
R. 7052.0260, subp. 2 and 3

Federal Guidance mentions compliance schedules only in Procedure 9 of Appendix F.
Paragraph A of Procedure 9 requires that any WQBEL included in a permit to a new discharger must
be complied with upon the commencement of the discharge. Minn. R. 7052.0260, subp. 2, also
requires that any WQBEL included in a permit to a new discharger must be complied with upon
commencement of the discharge.

EPA and MPCA agree that Minnesota will not allow compliance schedules for WQBELS in
NPDES permits where none is needed or appropriate. For example, Minnesota will not allow
compliance schedules where a permittee is able to meet the WQBEL at the time of permit issuance or
where the permit contains a new but less restrictive WQBEL.

Neither the Federal Guidance nor Minn. R. ch. 7052 expressly prohibits inclusion of a
compliance schedule in an existing permit that is reissued or modified to contain a new or more
restrictive WQBEL where a compliance schedule is not needed, when the permittee can comply
with the new or more restrictive WQBEL upon reissuance of the permit. However, separate provisions
of federal regulations and Minnesota rules do require compliance upon reissuance when possible. See
40 CPR. (?schedules of compliance . . . shall require compliance as soon as possible?)
and Minn. R. 7001.0150, subp. 2.A (?schedule of compliance must require compliance in the shortest
reasonable period of time?). The latter provision is prefaced with the condition applicable to the
circumstances.? Further, Minn. R. 7001.0100, subp. 2, regarding draft permits, provides, ?If the
preliminary determination is to issue a permit, the commissioner shall prepare a draft permit, including
a proposed schedule of compliance if a schedule is necessary to meet all applicable standards and
limitations imposed by statute or rule.?

The only reasonable reading of the cited provisions of Minnesota law is that the State will not
allow compliance schedules for WQBELS in NPDES permits where none is needed or appropriate.
Minnesota is fully authorized to agree with the EPA that it will not allow compliance schedules in
those circumstances. The implication of the agreement is that Minnesota will not allow compliance
schedules where a permittee is able to meet the WQBEL at the time of permit issuance or where the
permit contains a new but less restrictive WQBEL.

8. 40 C.F.R. 122.47, Compliance Schedules for New or Improved Analytical
Methods/Minn. R. 7052.0260, subp. 2 and 3

Minnesota rules require compliance schedules when permits that are issued contain new or
improved analytical methods. Minn. R. 70520260, subp. 2 and 3. Federal Guidance does not address
compliance schedules for using analytical methods. That issue is governed by NPDES program
regulations at 40 CPR. 122.47, which provides that permits may allow a schedule of compliance so
long as the permit ?require[s] compliance as soon as possible.? 40 C.F.R. 122.47 This provision
authorizes Minnesota to allow compliance schedules for use of a new or improved analytical method if
such schedules require use of the new analytical method ?as soon as possible.?

Minn. R. 7001.0150, subp. 2A., provides that a compliance schedule ?must require compliance
in the shortest reasonable period of time.? EPA and Minnesota agree that ?the shortest reasonable
period of timeimproved analytical method would generally be the period of time
necessary to allow a permittee to develop or obtain the analytical services or undertake any other
activities necessary to allow the permittee to actually use the new analytical method. EPA and
Minnesota also agree that it would be unreasonable to establish a compliance schedule for using a new
or improved analytical method that includes additional time based upon the permittee?s ability to
comply with its WQBEL.

The authority for the MPCA to make that agreement appears in Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd. 5,
which authorizes the MPCA to do all things, including applying standards and rules consistent with
and not less stringent than the Clean Water Act applicable to the participation by Minnesota in the
NPDES. The MPCA has agreed in the Addendum to interpret its standards in a manner consistent with
the Clean Water Act and Minnesota?s participation in the NPDES. Further, Minn. Stat. 115.03, subd.
authorizes the MPCA to adopt, issue, modify, deny, revoke, and enforce reasonable permits,
under such conditions as the agency may prescribe, for the prevention of water pollution and for the
operation of disposal systems and other facilities.

The MPCA has the authority to interpret, implement and enforce the prOposed agreements it
has made in the Addendum to the NPDES Memorandum of Agreement with the EPA.
