Revision to the Water Quality Planning and Management Regulation
Listing Requirements
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising the
Water Quality Planning and Management regulation to remove the
requirement in most cases that States, Territories and authorized
Tribes submit to EPA for review by April 1, 2000, lists of water
quality limited waterbodies. EPA's current regulations interpret the
provision in section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act for submission of
lists to EPA ``from time to time'' to require States, Territories and
authorized Tribes to submit lists on April 1 of every even-numbered
year. EPA is not, however, changing the existing requirement to submit
a list in 2000 if a court order or consent decree, or commitment in a
settlement agreement dated prior to January 1, 2000, expressly requires
EPA to take action related to a State's, Territory's, or authorized
Tribe's year 2000 list. Also, EPA is not at this time changing the
existing regulatory requirement that subsequent lists be submitted on
April 1, 2002, and on April 1 of subsequent even numbered years.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 31, 2000.
ADDRESSES: This rule's administrative record is available for review
and copying from 9:00 to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays, at the Water Docket (W-99-25), East Tower Basement,
Room EB-57, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20460. The administrative record includes a Response to
Comments document which includes a response to all timely comments that
EPA received on the proposal for this rule. For access to materials,

action. This table lists the types of entities that EPA is now aware
could potentially be regulated by this action. Other types of entities
not listed in the table could also be regulated. To determine whether
you are regulated by this action, you should carefully examine the
applicability criteria in Sec. 130.1 of title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. If you have questions regarding the applicability of this
action to you, please consult the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
II. Background
A. Existing Requirement
Section 303(d)(1) of the CWA requires States, Territories and
authorized Tribes to submit to EPA ``from time to time'' a list of
waterbodies for which existing pollution effluent limitations are not
stringent enough to attain and maintain State, Territorial and
authorized Tribal water quality standards. The statute requires EPA to
review and approve or disapprove the lists within 30 days of the time
they are submitted. If EPA disapproves a list, EPA must establish the
list for the State, Territory or authorized Tribe.
In 1992, EPA revised the regulations implementing section 303(d)(1)
to require States, Territories, and authorized Tribes to submit lists
of water quality limited waterbodies to EPA every two years, with the
1992 lists due to EPA no later than October 22, 1992, and subsequent
lists due on April 1 of even-numbered years. The most recent listing
deadline was April 1, 1998, and all States, Territories, and authorized
Tribes have now submitted 1998 section 303(d) lists to EPA. As of March
2000, EPA had approved all but one list.
B. Proposed Rule
On February 2, 2000, EPA proposed to eliminate the regulatory
requirement that States, Territories, and authorized Tribes submit to
EPA by April 1, 2000, their lists of water quality limited waterbodies,
unless EPA has been required by a court order or consent decree, or
commitment in a settlement agreement to take action based on a year
2000 list. (EPA used the term ``impaired and threatened'' in the
proposal; however the precise term from the current regulations is
``water quality limited.'') This proposed rule was published in the
Federal Register on February 2, 2000, with a 30 day comment period. The
public comments are available for review in the Water Docket, Room EB-
57 (East Tower Basement), 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460.
The February 2, 2000, proposal only affected the April 1, 2000,
list; it retained the existing regulatory requirement that subsequent
lists be submitted on April 1, 2002, and on April 1 of subsequent even-
numbered years. EPA proposed applying the changed regulation to
instances where EPA has been required by a court order or consent
decree, or commitment in a settlement agreement to take action based on
a State's, Territory's or authorized Tribe's year 2000 list. EPA made
this proposal to avoid unsettling a commitment embodied in documents
filed in or entered by a court.
C. Comments Sought
EPA sought comments in the proposal on whether to eliminate the
April 1, 2000, listing deadline in light of the comprehensive
improvements and clarifications proposed to the existing listing
requirements on August 23, 1999 (see 64 FR 46012). EPA also requested
comments on whether to move the April 2000 list submission date to
another date prior to April 2002. EPA also requested comments on
whether to include in the final rule the limited exception which would
require a State, Territory, and authorized Tribe to submit a list in
the year 2000 only if a court order or consent decree dated prior to
January 1, 2000, expressly requires (or if a similarly dated settlement
agreement committed) EPA to take action related to that year 2000 list.
Finally, EPA sought comments on whether it should promulgate in this
rule the requirements for removing a waterbody from the section 303(d)
list that EPA proposed on August 23, 1999.
III. Summary of Final Rule
A. Removing the Requirement To Submit the April 1, 2000, List
EPA is today amending its regulations at 40 CFR 130.7(d)(1) to
remove the requirement that States, Territories, and authorized Tribes
submit a section 303(d) list by April 1, 2000. After review of
comments, EPA still believes that its reasons for removing the year
2000 list, as proposed, are valid. Many comments supported the proposal
by pointing out that States need additional resources to establish the
large numbers of TMDLs required by the 1998 list. Three States noted
that the rule would have no effect on them because they would submit a
list by April 2000; however, these States did not oppose the rule. Of
the comments opposing the proposal, all but two supported the proposal
on the condition that EPA simultaneously promulgate regulations to
require that a waterbody attain water quality standards before it can
be removed from the list. Two other comments opposing the rule
suggested that most States would have already developed the information
for a year 2000 list and thus there would be no savings in resources to
redirect towards TMDL development. However, of the 32 States submitting
(or joining with submitted) comments, only three said they had
developed the information for a year 2000 section 303(d) list. Another
comment noted the value of an updated list for citizens to use to
highlight where environmental problems require more attention. EPA
recognizes this value of the section 303(d) lists, but does not believe
it out-weighs the benefit of affording States, Territories, and
authorized Tribes flexibility to make further progress in establishing
TMDLs on already-listed waterbodies instead of submitting the section
303(d) list in the year 2000. Two comments questioned whether States
would actually use the additional time to collect and analyze data for
the next section 303(d) list. EPA notes that a comment submitted by a
State specifically discussed using the time to evaluate biological
information that would otherwise have been directed towards preparing a
year 2000 list. Another State comment pointed to the data collection
efforts it had underway.
One comment opposing the proposal claimed it was contrary to
Congressional intent that all TMDLs be established prior to the Clean
Water Act requirement that effluent limitations attain water quality
standards by July 1, 1977. EPA disagrees with the assertion that the
Clean Water Act required all TMDLs be established by July 1, 1977.
Regardless, this assertion is irrelevant to EPA's decision to remove
the requirement (codified by EPA by regulation in 1992) that States,
Territories and authorized Tribes submit a section 303(d) list in the
year 2000.
[[Page 17168]]
Nevertheless, EPA recognizes the statements in the Congressional Record
and that section 301 of the Clean Water Act cited by the commenter
indicates that certain benchmarks should be met by July 1, 1977. EPA
notes, however, that section 301 applies to effluent limitations
whereas section 303 applies to TMDLs. Furthermore, EPA has stated
previously that water quality based effluent limits can be set in the
absence of a TMDL. 43 FR 60664. To codify this, EPA has published
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations
that clearly require NPDES permit authorities to ensure that effluent
limitations are derived from and comply with all applicable water
quality standards; this requirement does not depend on whether there
exists an applicable TMDL. 54 FR 23879.
Another comment claimed that persons with interests in impaired but
unlisted waterbodies receive no benefits if a State delays listing
their waterbody in lieu of establishing a TMDL for another water. EPA
believes that establishing TMDLs speeds up the process towards
attaining water quality standards, which is the underlying principal of
the Clean Water Act. Thus, EPA believes that the overall interests of
residents will be better served if States, Territories, and authorized
Tribes focus their efforts on establishing TMDLs before the next
section 303(d) list is due.
EPA received comments suggesting that EPA should take action on
lists that States, Territories, and authorized Tribes voluntarily
submit by April 2000 or thereafter. EPA also received one comment
requesting that EPA take no action on a section 303(d) list that a
State may submit in the year 2000. EPA interprets section 303(d) to
require EPA to review and either approve or disapprove a final section
303(d) list whenever submitted by a State, Territory, or authorized
EPA received only four comments on its proposal to require a year
2000 list where EPA has been required by a court order or consent
decree, or commitment in a settlement agreement to take action based on
a year 2000 list. Two comments supported this. The other two suggested
that EPA condition this requirement to where it is infeasible to amend
the court order or consent decree, or commitment in a settlement
agreement. When EPA published the proposal, EPA stated that it believed
that this provision would only apply to the State of Georgia and
solicited comment on whether this would apply to others. EPA received
no comment or information identifying any other State. EPA continues to
believe that a State, Territory, and authorized Tribe should submit a
section 303(d) list if a court order or consent decree, or commitment
in a settlement agreement dated prior to January 1, 2000, expressly
requires EPA to take action related to that year 2000 list. Therefore,
EPA is promulgating this regulation as proposed. Information available
to EPA indicates that this requirement only affects Georgia. EPA
understands that Georgia intends to submit a list in the year 2000.
EPA received several comments suggesting dates on which States,
Territories, and authorized Tribes should be required to submit the
next section 303(d) list. After reviewing those comments, and
considering the fact that EPA intends to publish the final rules for
the TMDL program fairly soon, EPA will establish the date for the next
303(d) list when the final TMDL rules are published. Until then, the
date for the next list is April 1, 2002.
EPA received many comments discussing whether EPA should require in
this final rule that a State must keep each impaired waterbody on the
list until water quality standards are attained for that waterbody and
may remove a previously listed impaired waterbody only if new data or
information indicates that the waterbody has attained water quality
standards. Many comments asked that EPA make this change in this rule
and roughly an equal number of comments opposed making this change now
instead as of part of the revisions to the Water Quality Planning and
Management Regulation later. After reviewing those comments, and
considering the fact that EPA intends to publish the final rules for
the TMDL program fairly soon, EPA has decided to not take action on
this issue in today's final rule. EPA believes that it can better
consider the aspects of this issue in conjunction with decisions on the
other issues that were proposed in the August 23, 1999 proposal. This
belief is consistent with the recommendation of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) Committee report on page 9 that cautioned readers
of the report to not take individual recommendations out of context
because many recommendations are interrelated. Because EPA relied on
the FACA Committee report for many of the elements of the August 23,
1999, proposal, EPA believes it is better to consider the issue of
criteria for removing a waterbody from the section 303(d) list in
conjunction with the other elements of the August 23, 1999, proposal.
As stated in the proposal to this rule, EPA intends to carefully
review any proposed removal of a waterbody from a section 303(d) list
to ensure there is information specific to the waterbody to support the
removal. 65 FR 4921. In particular, where a waterbody was previously
listed based on certain data or information, and the State removes the
waterbody without developing or obtaining any new information, EPA will
carefully evaluate the State's re-evaluation of the available
information, and would not approve such removals unless the State's
submission describes in detail why it is appropriate under the current
regulations to remove each affected waterbody. EPA has the authority to
disapprove the list if EPA identifies existing and readily available
information that was existing and readily available at the time the
State submitted the list and that data shows that a waterbody does not
attain water quality standards.
B. Other Comments
EPA received comments on other issues germane only to the August
23, 1999, proposal and for which EPA did not solicit comment in the
February 2, 2000, proposal. EPA is deferring decision on those issues
until the time when EPA publishes the final rule for the comprehensive
TMDL program.
C. Effective Date of the Final Rule
EPA has decided to make this rule effective upon publication. The
Administrative Procedure Act allows the effective date of a rule to be
less than 30 days from the publication. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1)-(3). Section
553(d)(1) allows the effective date to be less than 30 days from the
publication date if the rule grants an exemption or relieves a
restriction. EPA believes that the part of this rule that removes the
obligation that States, Territories, and authorized Tribes submit
section 303(d) lists for the year 2000 satisfies section 553(d)(1).
Because it relieves an obligation for a list submission on April 1,
2000, EPA believes the rule should be effective before that date.
Furthermore, section 553(d)(3) allows the effective date to be less
than 30 days from the publication date for good cause if the agency
expresses the reasons and publishes them with the rule.
IV. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et
RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act
[[Page 17169]]
or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations,
and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the
impacts of today's rule on small entities, a small entity is defined
as: (1) A small business according to the RFA default definition for
small business (based on the Small Business Administration size
standards); (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government
of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; (3) a small organization that is any
not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and
is not dominant in its field. For purposes of the RFA, States,
Territories and tribal governments are not considered small governments
jurisdictions since they are independent sovereigns.
The RFA requires analysis of the impacts of a rule on the small
entities subject to the rule's requirements. See United States
Distribution Companies v. FERC, 88 F.3d 1105, 1170 (D.C.Cir. 1996);
Mid-Tex Electric Co-op., Inc. v. FERC, 773 F.2d 327 (D.C. Cir. 1985);
Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Ass'n v. Nichols, 142 F.3d 449 (D.C.
Cir. 1998). Today's rule establishes requirements for only States,
Territories and authorized Tribes. It establishes no requirements
applicable to small entities, and so is not susceptible to regulatory
flexibility analysis as prescribed by the RFA. ``[N]o [regulatory
flexibility] analysis is necessary when an agency determines that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities that are subject to the requirements of the
rule.'' United Distribution at 1170, quoting Mid-Tex Elec. Co-op., Inc.
v. FERC, 773 F.2d 327, 342 (D.C. Cir. 1985) (emphasis added by United
Distribution court). After considering the economic impacts of today's
final rule on small entities, I certify that this action will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
This final rule will not impose any requirements on small entities.
It eliminates the current regulatory requirement which directs States,
Territories and authorized Tribes (and EPA, if it disapproves the
State's, Territory's or authorized Tribe's efforts) to establish lists
of impaired waterbodies in the year 2000.
B. Executive Order 12866
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), EPA
must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' and
therefore subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and
the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a
rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
It has been determined that this final rule is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive Order 12866 and is
therefore not subject to OMB review.
C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal Mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that attains the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
Today's final rule contains no Federal mandates (under the
regulatory provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local, and
tribal governments or the private sector. The final rule imposes no
enforceable duty on any State, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector. The final rule is deregulatory because it eliminates
the current regulatory requirement that States, Territories, and
authorized Tribes submit lists of impaired waterbodies in 2000. Thus,
today's final rule is not subject to the requirements of section 202
and 205 of UMRA.
For the same reasons discussed in the section on the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, EPA has determined that this final rule contains no
regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. Thus, today's final rule is not subject to the
requirements of section 203 of UMRA.
D. Paperwork Reduction Act
This final rule does not contain any information collection,
reporting, or record keeping requirements. Thus, this final rule is not
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. This
final rule could actually streamline and reduce existing OMB-approved
requirements by 25,424 hours in the year 2000.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999) requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
Under section 6 of Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a
regulation that has federalism implications, that imposes substantial
direct compliance
[[Page 17170]]
costs, and that is not required by statute, unless the federal
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA consults with
State and local officials early in the process of developing the
proposed regulation. EPA also may not issue a regulation that has
federalism implications and that preempts State law, unless EPA
consults with State and local officials early in the process of
developing the proposed regulation.
This final rule does not have federalism implications. It will not
have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government,
as specified in Executive Order 13132. As discussed above, the final
rule that removes the obligation that States, Territories, and
authorized Tribes submit a section 303(d) list is deregulatory because
it eliminates a current requirement. Thus, the requirements of section
6 of the Executive Order do not apply to this final rule.
F. Executive Order 13084: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Under Executive Order 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is
not required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the
communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial
direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those
governments. If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13084
requires EPA to provide to OMB, in a separately identified section of
the preamble to the rule, a description of the extent of EPA's prior
consultation with representatives of affected tribal governments, a
summary of the nature of their concerns, and a statement supporting the
need to issue the regulation. In addition, Executive Order 13084
requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting elected and
other representatives of Indian tribal governments ``to provide
meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory policies
on matters that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.''
Today's final rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of Indian tribal governments nor does it impose substantial
direct compliance costs on them. Currently, there are no tribes
authorized to establish TMDLs or lists of impaired waterbodies.
Accordingly, the requirements of section 3(b) of Executive Order 13084
do not apply to today's final rule.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that: (1) is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the EPA must evaluate the environmental health or safety
effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the planned
regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives considered by the Agency. This final rule is not
subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not ``economically
significant'and further, it does not establish an environmental
standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.
H. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
As noted in the proposed rule, Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law
104-113, section 12(d)(15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would
be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through
OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and
applicable voluntary consensus standards.
This final rule does not involve any technical standards.
Therefore, EPA did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus
I. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This rule will be effective March 31, 2000, for reasons
discussed previously in this preamble.

Floodwater details presented in Seventh and Gilman redevelopment
April 8, 2014
By Peter Clark
After two public meetings, the Seventh and Gilman redevelopment continues through the city's application stages and might go beyond expectations.
Lennar Multifamily Investors again presented plans to the Rivers and Streams Board on March 18 regarding how its planned residential redevelopment would handle floodwater. The corner of Seventh Avenue Northwest and Northwest Gilman Boulevard, now called Cadence by the potential developers, has a long history of suffering from flooding events and Lennar Multifamily Investors Development Director Tom Bartholomew knows it.
"Issaquah is unique in terms of flooding," Bartholomew said after the meetings. "It's an issue and I understand the sensitivity. I understand the visceral reactions to the meetings."
Redevelopment plans include three five-story residential buildings that Lennar would build up from the current elevation. Presentation to the Rivers and Streams Board came as part of the site development permit application process.
Many residents and nearby landowners expressed disbelief about Lennar's proposed strategy for dealing with flooding.
The plans presented to the two meetings indicate the two features that would serve as the main solution to that property's threat of flooding. The plans involve expanding the western bank of the adjacent Issaquah Creek to allow more water capacity and cutting a canal through the landscape that would gather water in flood events, pushing it toward the Northwest Gilman Boulevard outlet.
City Environmental Planner Peter Rosen said the issue might need clarification for the public.
"There's some pretty specific requirements that they need to meet," he said about Lennar. "I think the biggest disconnect with the public comment is that this isn't going to prevent flooding in the city and it's not going to prevent flooding at the site."
Any changes Lennar makes to the parcel only cannot negatively affect any surrounding land. The developer has no responsibility to enhance the area's storm water management.
"I think people might be looking for improvements on that front and that's not in the purview of the applicant," Rosen said.
Still, Bartholomew said Lennar has taken the matter seriously and tried to perform community outreach to assuage concerns.
"We weren't required to attend the second meeting," he said. "We felt an obligation to help people understand what we're proposing out there."
Beyond the two meetings, Bartholomew said the developer wants to go an extra step.
"We've asked the city to conduct an independent peer review," he said.
That would involve contracting with an outside agency to further validate the models Lennar has provided for managing floodwater.
Rosen said such a step might not be necessary, but it is appreciated.
"They've used the same models that the city has used, so there's a certain level of confidence," he said. "We're not against having a peer review. It's likely that we will do that later in the process. I'm pleased they're thinking along those lines."
The Development Commission will next take up the redevelopment plans during its April 16 meeting, at 7 p.m. in council chambers, 135 E. Sunset Way.

The 12 Most Remarkable Highways in The World
by nobert soloria bermosa on 18/06/10 at 3:50 pm
Here's a list of the most notable and remarkable highways in the world.
Highways are of great importance. They make transportation and communication faster and more efficient but oftentimes they claim thousands of lives every year.
1.) Yungas Road: World's Most Dangerous Highway
North Yungas Road, which is located high in the Andes Mountain of Bolivia, is famous worldwide and regarded as "The Words Most Dangerous Road". This 61 km long highway leading from La Paz to Coroico is legendary for its extreme danger. About 200 to 300 travelers were killed annually along this deadly road or Death Road for short. It is also known as Grove's Road, Death Road, Road of Death, Coroico Road and others.
The South Yungas Road or Chulumani Road connects La Paz to Chulumani and stretches about 64 km long. It is also considered to be nearly as dangerous as the north road.
2.) Big Dig: USA's Most Expensive Highway Project
The project was estimated in 1985 at $2.8 billion making the Big Dig the most expensive highway project in the U.S. As of 2006, over $14.2 billion had been spent in federal and state tax dollars.
According to an article in The Boston Globe, the project all in all will cost an additional $7 billion in interest bringing the total to a jaw-dropping $22 billion.
3.) Pan-American Highway: Longest International Highway
Pan-American Highway is an international highway that connects many countries in the Americas. The highway stretches nearly 25,000 kilometers and is the world's longest "motorable road".
It is discontinuous due to the significant gap in it in Panama where the rainfall is immense and the terrain is entirely not suitable for construction of highway. Central Panama and Colombia are connected by airline transportation and ferries.

"Revenue numbers have stepped up nicely this summer and are approaching or exceeding $2 million per week," said Command Center Chairman and CEO Glenn Welstad. "I am pleased with how well our employees and field team members have established Command's presence in areas where there is a great need for the kind of skilled and unskilled workers that we provide.
"Currently, our branch offices are aggressively recruiting workers to service customers in the Bakken shale region and for the massive recovery and restoration projects in areas like Joplin, Missouri and Minot, South Dakota," Welstad said.

French Flag Window Curtains
Custom Size French Flag Window Curtains
Made To Order - FREE Personalization!
Demonstrate your French pride in a bold way with our French flag window curtains hung in your home. Start with window curtains that combine the most famous structure in France, the Eiffel Tower, with an image of the French flag. We have many window curtain designs that offer this ultra French sight. One of them shows a photograph of the Eiffel Tower and the green trees around it superimposed over the blue, white and red stripes of the flag. A true lover of France will also notice that the photo image on these
window curtains is cut into the shape of the map of France. If you prefer a simpler window curtain design with this same theme, go for ones that depict the Eiffel tower shown alone as a black silhouette that fits perfectly inside the center white stripe of the French flag.
But that's just one way to enjoy the beauty and history of France hung over your windows. We also have French flag window curtains that show a real French flag billowing in the wind atop a steel flag pole. This flag is caught in motion against a pale blue and white cloudy sky. How about custom drapes that portray the French flag in a way that subtly invokes one of the most beloved aspects of Paris? These drapes recreate the bottom half of the flag into blue, white and red ripples of water, bringing to mind the calm currents of the Seine River. Next, select a set of window curtains for your bedroom that let you add your favorite French phrase or quotation. These window curtains depict a speech bubble patterned like the French flag, with the white stripe made extra wide to create room for your own French words.

I have had quite a difficult problem regarding my online privacy this past month. For this reason I am trying to delete all of my online forum accounts. Is it possible for me to delete my account? How? I assume that my profile would be deleted but what about my avatar picture and my posts? Thanks for the help!
If you contact Addie through forum support, I'm sure she can make it happen for you.
Be careful, Addie is pretty powerful. If she makes a mistake you might be erased and cease to exist.
BPL's policy is actually to NOT delete anyone's profile, for the very reason of preserving the integrity of the forums. I can scrub ALL identifying information upon request, but uploading a blank or dummy photo to an avatar and editing past posts is the responsibility of the individual.Also, Google cache has a very long memory, so searches for a specific name may still point to a profile that will no longer have that name associated with it. Unfortunately, that's completely out of my hands, and we just have to wait for Google to catch (cache?) up with what's live on the site.Thanks!AddiePS: Any requests to remove identifying information from a user's profile MUST be submitted via a support issue, please.
From "change my profile" he can change his name, picture (just upload some pic) and delete all information. You can do that yourself.
Ahhh! I never guessed that BPL would be able to solve all of my internet problems too! See, I tried just changing all of my information off another forum but I was still easily able to Google it. So this "cache" you speak of will eventually be updated and drop the information that I deleted from the forums?BPL is always so helpful! Thanks guys!
Google does not cover 100% of everything on a daily basis. Its robots travel a lot by night, and how often they hit a particular site kind of depends on how important that site is with respect to web hits.For one particular site that I am involved in, the robots hit it about once every four days.So, sit back and wait a while and see what happens.It is far easier to not leave your personal information viewable in the first place, rather than trying to clean it off after the fact.--B.G.--
Less busy sites google might scan only once a month...and even then they might not scan everything. Old content that hasn't changed in years might not get re-scanned for several months. Most of what you see in Google results is pre-scanned info in their cache....it would't work to do that stuff live.
FYI There are websites and services that cache websites FOREVER. Wayback machine is one example. The NSA probably has also does this, etc. You can scrub it from google but just you let you know, forum postings are basically quasi-permanent.This is why I do not (and most people don't) give their real names on a forum. It's also possible, to a ridiculous and shocking degree, to aggregate information you leak piece by piece on internet forums until someone has an extremely detailed picture of your life and interests, etc, phone number, tenure at work, education, spouse, address, kids, car...

Razzball Nation! Man, scary to think there's only a week left of the regular season. Where has all the time gone?! While the majority of leagues have wrapped up, we've still got some extended H2H finals and Roto players out there who need a pickup for The End of the Road. And why not Randy Foye after his 30/5/15/2/0 explosion last night? "Wait, don't you hate Randy Foye JB?!" Shut it, commenter who remembers everything! I do hate Foye, but he's going to get the volume with Ty Lawson out at least another few games with his bum ankle. Brian Shaw is saying Lawson probably will return this season, and coaches never lie or deceive us in the NBA, right?! Cough cough. With only two games on the slate tomorrow, the 63%-owned Foye (which, yes, is probably lower than it should be given the leagues that are over with aren't making moves) needs to be scooped up in all leagues still rounding out their finals. Plus the Nugs schedule the rest of the way is @GS, UTA, @LAC, GS. He's gonna heave up more threes than Jimmer Fredette at the BYU Alumni game! Here's what else I've seen over the last couple of days of NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ramon Sessions
"1,000, 1,001, 1,002, 1,003. Wow, I can hardly lift my left arm I did so many. I don't know if you heard me, but I did over 1,000." Maybe should've stopped at like 40! Kyrie Irving strained his left biceps a couple weeks ago, sending owners into a furious frenzy of wire replacements. And one of the most fun times of the year (although you could argue most frustrating) is when the fringe or struggling playoff teams make drastic moves. Well, I would argue dropping Kyrie when news hit wasn't a drastic move, but I think you all know what I'm saying in H2H leagues. After a very positive reevaluation, Uncle Drew was cleared for practice yesterday and could return as soon as tomorrow. Talk about positivity! While the game tomorrow against the Magic seems questionable, there still is cloudy uncertainty. Both that game and the Cavs next on Friday at the Hawks are on very busy, heavily-scheduled days. Of course when healthy, Kyrie is a no-brainer, but I'd imagine his first game back comes with a little bit of training wheels. So if you're in your final week in your title hopes, I'm not seeing an immediacy in picking him up. But if your finals are next week, or a two-week final, go ahead and Cry Uncle. Wait, that doesn't mean what I was hoping. Go ahead and pry Uncle? Eh… In Roto, hopefully you held Kyrie as that's what I would've done. Looking ahead to next week, it's sadly only three games for the Cavs, but stay positive! One against Detroit and another against da Bucks. Gotta like those. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you've made it this far, you are about to head into the championship match week, or perhaps your semi finals. Wait, whut? There are a smattering of leagues only starting their playoffs now?? Madness. In March. Hmmm… that's catchy, should try to remember that one.
I digress. You gotta get your game-face on, your heart rate up! Go to your bathroom, turn up your volume, and listen to some inspiring music while mean-mugging in the mirror, it's go time! As for me, I acknowledge that if you are indeed in the big dance, you probably don't need me too much. To paraphrase Vince Vaughn in Swingers: "My baby's all growed up!!" That said, should you may have to replace an injured cat or two, may I suggest the following:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Lakers. The Bucks. Two terrible teams enter. Only one team wins (well, actually neither of these teams are winners, unless you count if they get the first pick in next year's draft, I guess winning the lottery is something…). Two horrible teams with fast-paced awfulness where we see flashes of fantasy goodness. And we got another taste of the sweet nectar that is Jordan Hill when given playing time! 31 minutes for 28/16/0/1/0 shooting a ridiculous 13-17. With 9 of those boards offensive, Hill was abusing the paint and his shot chart around the rim looked like a rash in Kim Kardashian's nethers. Everyone that has watched the Lakers lately (a number that has decreased significantly, and would even more without fantasy!) knows Hill should be starting the 4 every night, and it's taken way too long for D'Antoni to finally go back to him. Even Hill is confused about his playing time based on his profile pic… No Pau Gasol at least for tonight, and Chris Kaman barely arriving on time to last night's game due to personal reasons might have put a craw in Doh-toni's gears. There was a report they hadn't talked in weeks before Tuesday's game. Before that, Kobe Bryant said he hadn't talked to D'Antoni in a while during his rant. The Lakers coach is running this team like it's freshman year of high school. "OMG, like, Mike hasn't put me in the game, so like, I stopped talking to him and, like just started posting memes on the internet!" I knew it was Kaman! You're playing with fire, but for guys widely available, if you have a roster spot open Hill is as good as any to give you a really high upside double double tonight. Against the Wolves should be a pretty free flowing game, so let's all hope Jordan stays over the Hill before we bury Mike D'Anotni underneath it. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
It's been a year long punching bag. Larry Drew sucks, he has no idea how to grow a young team, and because he plays guys different minutes every night the Bucks are atrocious and have no cohesion. But that's nothing new, as he was awarded the first Razzball Worst NBA Coach Razzie. It'd be a wonder if he could do anything right! Yesterday, I said Ramon Sessions might be the best player on that team (and he got a ridiculous 20 minutes to show for it Sunday), and Larry Screw actually paid attention to my advice! Sessions started last night against the Clips, played 44 minutes, making the most of it. Shot a ridiculous 13-21 (2-3 3PTM) for 28/6/7. While this game was nice, and I maintain he's probably the best fantasy asset on the Bucks right now, he's not necessarily the best pickup. The Bucks have only two more games this week, Thursday against the Lakers (which you obviously love) then Sunday against the Heat (not so much). Plus it's the Bucks and we all know how Larry Screwballs can jack things up. I picked him up in one league just to lock down that Thursday game since it's a light slate with only four games. If you can afford to do that, Sessions is your man. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Perhaps the funniest catch phrase I made up with my buddies while watching the NBA through college -"Wahhhhhh I'm Jarrett Jack!" – can be used in so many instances. It's like Brian Dennehy's speech about how versatile the F-Bomb is when he played Bobby Knight in an ESPN movie. Whomever greenlit that idea, airing a movie with constant F-Bombs on ESPN2, is probably fired. He's like, "Don't fire me! Wahhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhhh, I'm Jarrett Jack!" I use this phrase because every time I seem to watch him, he looks so so sad. And just look at the cover screen grab for the Yahoo recap from the game last night! So after Kyrie Irving flexed his guns too hard, Jack had three starts of very uninspiring ball. Mike Brown sat him down and said he needed more from him. The veteran responded, "Wahhhhhhhhh I'm Jarrett Jack!" Then last night rolled around with the Knicks rolling out Raymond Felton to play defense. Seriously, it's like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with the blueberry chick. The only difference is Felton actually ate the meals and didn't chew the LSD-laced gum! After a minute or two, Felton was winded, and went "Wahhhhhhhh, I have to guard Jarrett Jack!" Jack lit up the terrible Knicks D for 31/5/10 with a trey and a side of whoopass. Finally kicking it into gear as the starter, Jack has a four-gamer cooking up for week two of the playoffs, with my eye eagerly on Wednesday at the awful Pistons. It doesn't really matter who he's playing, pretty much a must own. Of course, in all my leagues where I'm still alive, he was already snatched up. "Wahhhhhhhhh, I'm Jarrett Jack!" Here's what else I caught over the weekend in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yet another start for the Gorgui Apparatus, with Gorgui Dieng going all out with a Goromotaro! I have to say, definitely the most unexpected Goromotaro since the term was coined. 22/21/4/1/0 and double-doubles in his last three games. Except this was a double double-double. There's so many Ds in that sentence you'd think I was daydreaming about Tyra Banks! And while Gorgui is out proving that he's America's Next Top C, what are doing right now in crunch time of fantasy? He's a tough guy to leave on the wire, but the Wolves only have Sunday left this week, and Nikola Pekovic is traveling with the team. Pek is questionable, but Dieng has given the team every excuse to keep the youngun out there with pretty much no realistic expectations to make the playoffs. So unless you've got a bye with a real scrub and you can stash Gorgui and hope for another big upside game, or your line-up is virtually full Friday and Saturday, you're probably letting him ride in 10 or 12ers H2H. Roto he's worth a spin and if you're crushing it in week 1 of the playoffs, maybe worth a stache as well. Oh no, Grey has me daydreaming about baseball! Mmmmm, Tyra Banks and baseball. Get out of my head Grey! What will be really interesting next year is what the Wolves do up front with Kevin Love having an uncertain future and Pek a FA. Dieng would probably be a really flashy flyer if he projects to start. Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
So anyone watch the Clippers last night? Who was cheering for Blake Griffin to go for 50? BG just obliterated the Suns interior defense in the first quarter, putting up 22 on 11-12 shooting. Then I don't know who had their hearts broken more by Griffin not even getting to 40 – fantasy owners looking for a huge start to their week or the Clips announcers who were decorating their trapper keepers with flowery Blake Griffin pictures all game. P.J. Tucker got a little heart broken too! Blake went all dog pile on Tucker for really no reason. Tucker was like, "That's a clown dog pile yo!" and clocked Blake right in the chinny chin chin . Pow, right in the kisser! At one point, the announcer dude said, "See Blake just loses his footing…" Pshhhhh! Griffin is kinda like a high-flying, better-at-basketball Tyler Hansbrough. Burn! Regardless, ended the night with a ridic 14-16 FG and 9-10 FT 37/6/3/1/0 line. Did rack up 6 TOs and was limited to only 32 minutes due to fouling out. Shockingly, one of those 6 fouls wasn't for tackling a guy… I mean, I've seen that sort of tackle flagged in the NFL! Don't get me wrong, I like watching Blake, it's awesome how he can get under opposing teams' skin, and he's had a career fantasy year. Although, I think Slim might like him a little less since it's probably going to cost Tucker a game with a suspension. The notice comes from the league office with a letter that reads merely: "You've been Silvered!" Here's what else went down across NBA action last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh man! So many places to go with a title like that… Last night we had two virtually 100%-owned big men step back on the hardwood in Derrick Favors and Andrew Bogut. Let's start first with Aussie Aussie Aussie who had his typical Oi Oi Oi multi-cat line for 4/7/4/1/1. Played 29 minutes which is very encouraging, but did foul out. The big man fouls were rough in this one! Both starting 4/5s combined for 10 fouls in Golden State at Detroit. Mark Jackson pre-game must've been like, "pretend you're all Artest and the Pistons just threw a beer on you!" I remain high on Bogut for his multi-cat walkabouts. Then to Favors – who had been doing fantasy owners no Favors with his bum hip – but lit it up in his return last night for 8-9 FG (4-4 FT) 20/4/1/0/3 in 29 you-couldn't-ask-for-better minutes. Hopefully his hip can hold up the rest of the season! And hopefully he doesn't Favor too much on the other one. Womp womp. Worst joke of the year! Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh man, a busy day yesterday in hoops! The obvious first mention is GO HEELS! Oh man, I feel like storming the court today. I think Chapel Hill fans everywhere this morning should storm their office/classroom/crowded area in a flash mob at some point. Then we have LeBron James getting his nose broken by Serge A Broke-a! The mayor of Cleveland has already issued Serge Ibaka a key to the city. Fine LeBron $5,000 for flopping! Man, the next round of internet videos of "LeBroning" are going to be a lot more like "The Knockout Game". Seriously, even LeBron haters have to love he got it broke a step or two out before throwing it down. Word still to come if the nose is indeed broken, but my money is on yes. Regardless, we've seen a few players come back from a broken nose in the same game donning the Hannibal mask, so I doubt he misses any time after passing concussion tests last night. MaskBron! And then we had the trade deadline come and go, with nothing too major albeit a few surprises. I'm starting a bit off the reservation with a guy I'm going to pump hard and is a pickup now in 12-teamers. Lord Byron Mullens! After trading their former starting 5 which we'll get in below, it's Mullens and Arnett Moultrie manning down the C fort in the abandon ship Sixers front line, with Mullens picked up for draft picks. I know Mullens is boring, but he was usable while with the Bobcats posting a 10.6/6.4/1.5/0.6/0.6 line with 1.2 treys in 27 minutes a game in 12-13. His sub-40 FG% blew, sure, but he's a perimeter shooter who can play decent D so I think he will get run. He's a lot better than Moultire in my opinion and I think will get big minutes. And I don't know why, maybe it's because he looks so goofy or maybe because he's been in the league 5 years, but Mullens is actually only 25 when I thought he might be 30. For a team tanking, he's a perfect acquisition to help rack up points to try and fill maybe 2 more seats a night in Philly. "Thanks for coming Mr. and Mrs. Mullens!" Here's what else went down yesterday, starting with NBA deadline deals:Please, blog, may I have some more?

What kind of chair?
My chiropractor has these awesome chairs that ae basically a stand for an exercise ball (small) and I wish I could afford those! Im going to have to google :)
rolling but no spinning, hmmm dont think ive seen those!! you'll have to invent one!
Quoting Boobah:
Haha I know! If I get spinning chairs that is all they will do!
Same here, my DS would be spinning all day, it takes him a long time to get dizzy and he likes to see how fast he can spin before he does get dizzy! Only he would try to tell me it was PE because he was being physically active! LOL.
Just a thought. But maybe another chair is not the solution. Have you thought of getting the plastic carpet covers for placing under chairs? You can find them at places like Office Depot.
Sorry, can't help you on the chair issue. But maybe those plastic mats PP mentioned would help

A top-rated hospital
EDITOR: While following the possible demise of Palm Drive Hospital, I found Consumer Reports Health's national health safety survey in its May issue. Near the top of top-scoring hospitals, in addition to Sonoma Valley Hospital, is Palm Drive Hospital. These ratings covered 2,591 hospitals. There must be a lesson here somewhere.

Standing up for victims
EDITOR: At any time, any one of us in Sonoma County can become a victim of crime. Violent crimes, such as sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse, place victims in likely the most difficult and painful experience of their lives.
The victim services division of the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office serves more than 3,000 crime victims each year. We advocate for and guide victims through the criminal justice system, link them to community resources and assist them with victim compensation and restitution to recover crime-related losses. Many partners join us in serving victims, particularly those located at the Family Justice Center.
This week, Sonoma County is celebrating National Crime Victims' Rights Week. This year, we celebrate three decades of promoting crime victims' rights and honoring victims, survivors, and those who advocate on their behalf.
Please help keep our community safe. If you or anyone you know may be a victim of crime, please call your local law enforcement agency or the District Attorney's Office — we are here to serve you.

The Dr. Owen Wister and Marie Mason Hartman Endowment was given in the name of Ronald Hartman's parents, both deceased. Owen Hartman was Chambersburg Hospital's first pediatrician.
Ronald and Ruth Hartman will continue to fund the endowment for the next several years.
"We wanted to honor mom and dad in their hometown," Ron Hartman said. "This gift is a way to give back to the hospital, which played a central role in our family life. It will benefit generations of children to come."
Born in 1914 in Kauffman Station, Owen Hartman was a 1935 graduate of Gettysburg College and earned his medical degree in 1939 from Temple University Medical School, Philadelphia.
He was both an active serviceman and reservist with the United States Air Force and retired in 1974 with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
In 1948, he established Franklin County's first practice dedicated to pediatrics, with an office in Chambersburg. He retired in 1990.
Marie Hartman, a 1938 graduate of Temple University Nursing School, Philadelphia, spent the war years together with Dr. Hartman at various medical posts.
Charitable gifts to fund the endowment are being accepted. For more information, call Deborah Strong at 267-7457 or visit http://www.

Fujifilm explains X10, X-S1 'white orb' flaw and fix
updated 07:55 pm EDT, Mon March 12, 2012
CMOS sensor creates circular distortion
Recently, some Fujifilm owners complained about a bloomin, white disc, or white orb visual artifacts with their X-S1 and X10 digital cameras. The company on Monday met promises of supplying more details and has acknowledged that the cameras' CMOS sensors, under certain lighting situations, will create the effect. The company has promised to resolve the problem with both firmware and sensor updates.
The problem can occur in extreme situations, such as when shooting a night scene with a car's headlight's shining back towards the camera. Some highlights may be distorted, and appear as round shapes. The company advises that while any camera would experience some sort of distortion, the pattern displayed is somewhat unique.
Fujifilm announced a firmware update for the X10 in February that helps to minimize the problem. It will be releasing one for the X-S1 on March 21. The patch automatically raises the ISO level and optimizes the dynamic range under conditions that are conducive to the blooming.
The company also disclosed it is developing a modified CMOS sensor that definitively should resolve the problem. It has promised that the new sensor will be made available in May, although it hasn't said if there will be a way to trade in cameras for a permanent fix.

Lucy fans will be transported to the 1950s as Harrah's Resort presents the production of 'I Love Lucy Live On Stage.'
- Filed Under
For once, Ricky is finally going to let Lucy be in the show.
One of the longest-running gags during the early years of television occurred weekly on the sitcom "I Love Lucy," which aired on CBS between 1951 and 1956. On virtually every show, Lucy Ricardo pleaded, begged, cajoled and even turned to tears when she asked her bandleader-husband, Ricky Ricardo, to let her be in his nightclub show. But Lucy seemed to be lacking any discernable talent, so for as many times as Lucy asked, that's how many times Ricky turned her down.
"I Love Lucy" left the airwaves in 1957 after 181 episodes, but the series ...
