Division of Water Resources COMPREHENSIVE BASIN PLANNING The Integration of Water Quality Planning and Water Quantity Planning Ian McMillan Chief, Basin Planning Branch November 12, 2014

DWR’s Vision The new basin plans will integrate the State’s water quality and water quantity into a single plan. The plans will be a web based approach. The data will be updated dynamically using the most current data available in DWR’s databases.

COMPREHENSIVE BASIN PLANNING Integration of water quality and water quantity, because:  Knowing the location and quantity of North Carolina’s surface and groundwater resources, as contrasted with surface and groundwater quality, will aid the state in applying best conservation management practices at a local, regional and state level.  The integrated approach helps logically bridge the work of other DWR Sections with each other so that water resources evaluation and assessment within North Carolina is much, much more seamless, and water resource operations more efficient.  The new relationship between water quality and NPDES facilities and water quantity and NPDES facilities, will expedite consideration of water reuse applications as part of a comprehensive water resources conservation package.  This integration provides DWR end users with “better, faster, cheaper” data and answers to water resources questions, and will help to establish North Carolina’s water security which will only help the state’s economy grow.

Federal and State Regulations Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Clean Water Act (CWA) – 303(d) – 303(e) – 319 NC General Statute Chapter 143, Article 21 NC Administrative Code Sections 2B.0100, 2B.0200 and 2B.0300

Clean Water Act Section 303(e) Continuing Planning Process Nine Required Elements 1.Development of effluent limitations and schedules of compliance; 2.Incorporation of the elements of areawide 208 plans and 209 basin plans in water quality planning; 3.Developing of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) and individual water quality based effluent limits; 4.Maintenance of Water Quality Management (WQM) plans; 5.Assurance of adequate authority for intergovernmental cooperation in the implementation of the State WQM plans; 6.Implementation of new or revised water quality standards, including schedules of compliance; 7.The process for assuring adequate controls over the disposition of all residual waste from any water treatment processing. 8.Development of an inventory and ranking, in order of priority of needs for construction of waste treatment works required to meet the applicable requirements of sections 301 and 302 of the Clean Water Act; and 9.Determination of priorities for permit issuance.

§ A Planning. a.Policy, Purpose and Intent - The Commission and Department shall undertake a continuing planning process to develop and adopt plans … b.Goals - The goals of the continuing planning process shall be the enhancement of the quality of life and protection of the environment …. § B a.The Commission shall develop and implement a basinwide water quality management plan for each of the 17 major river basins in the State. … c.The Commission shall review and revise its 17 basinwide water quality management plans at least every 10 years … e.A basinwide water quality management plan is not a rule and Article 2A of Chapter 150B of the General Statutes does not apply to the development of basinwide water quality management plans. … m. In order to assure the availability of adequate supplies of good quality water to protect the public health and to support desirable economic growth, the Department shall develop a State water supply plan. … NC General Statute Chapter 143, Article 21

DWR’s Vision The new basin plans will integrate the State’s water quality and water quantity into a single plan. The plans will be web based approach. – No longer printed documents. The data will be updated dynamically using the most current data available in DWR’s databases. – To fully revise a dynamic data driven plan will evolve over time. DWR’s databases need to be retooled.

How to approve a dynamic plan? – The principle requirements of § A and § B will always be addressed in the online, comprehensive, integrated and dynamic basin plans. However, the delivery will be expanded, more robust, and more efficient. Ongoing maintenance and updating of the comprehensive basin plans will be a feature of the online plans. Any major additions or modifications to a basin plan will be presented to the EMC. Finally, basin plan presentations will be provided to the EMC for approval at a minimum of every 10 years per statute, but may be presented to the EMC for approval earlier, if requested. EMC’s Role
