IDEM 2010 OutlookNIRPC Environmental Management Policy Committee January 7, 2010

Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP CommissionerIN Department of Environmental Management

1

Indiana State Budget Challenges• Indiana’s most recent revenue forecast is

$1.88 Billion below the budgeted amount for the FY 2010-2011 biennium.– State Agencies reduced by 20+%– Higher Education reduced by 6%– K-12 Education reduced by 3%– Budget surplus will need to be spent

2

Response to Reduced State Income• Eliminated 2009 & 2010 raises.• Strategic Hiring Review—Using attrition to

reduce spending.• Reduce/eliminate grants, contracts, etc.• Restrictions on travel and purchasing.• Will maintain essential State services.

3

New IDEM Budget Actions• Returning staffing to January 2005 levels

through attrition.• Moving most of Shadeland staff to IGCN and

renegotiating the lease.• Canceling or renegotiating a number of

service contracts.• Voluntary unpaid leave program.

IDEM Grant and Loan Program Suspension

• Grants and Loans from the following non-reverting funds were suspended as of December 19, 2008: (as listed in budget report to legislature)

– 2580 Recycling Promotion Assistance Fund– 2530 Solid Waste Recycling Fund– 2640 Waste Tire Fund

IDEM’s Mission

IDEM is responsible for protecting human health and the environment while providing for safe industrial, agricultural, commercial and governmental operations vital to a prosperous economy.

7

How Does IDEM Protect the Environment?

Develop regulations and issue permits to restrict discharges to the environment to safe levels.

Inspect and monitor permitted facilities to ensure compliance with the permits.

Use compliance assistance and/or enforcement when people exceed their permit levels or violate regulations.

Educate people on their environmental responsibilities. 8

12

2009 Environmental Laws• HB 1162 Environmental Matters

– Environmental Restrictive Ordinances– Environmental Restrictive Covenants– Prospective Purchaser Protection for Petroleum

Contamination– Recognition of Institutional Controls when

completion decisions13

2009 Environmental Laws– Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that address

pollutants not listed on the 303(d) list must be public noticed before the new pollutant can be included in the TMDL

– Waters designated as Exceptional Use Waters are now Outstanding State Resource Waters

– Requires the Antidegradation process to include a one time review of general permits

– Clarifies that a person must have both any required local approvals and an IDEM permit

integration of all IDEM information—part of the infrastructure to receive and process electronic permit applications and reports:– Two programs accepting electronic submittals, 401

Certifications and Community Right to Know.

18

Agency Initiatives• EDMR—Electronic reporting of waste water

discharge monitoring reports.– Currently available for all facilities.– EPA is considering a rule to require electronic

reporting for all DMRs.

• Agency-wide adoption of Continuous Improvement using Lean/Kaizen and other methodologies to improve processes and increase efficiency.

19

The New EPA• Administrator Jackson’s Stated Priorities:

– Environmental Justice– Children's Health– Climate Change

• The Initiatives we observe include:– Air Toxics Monitoring at Schools– Reemphasis of Enforcement and publishing of

compliance information– Progressing of Greenhouse Gas Regulations

20

Air Accomplishments• Entire State has met the 0.08 ppm Ozone air

quality standard since the 2006-2008 period, and we are working with USEPA to have Lake and Porter Counties designated attainment.

• Entire State also meet the 0.075 Ozone air quality standard for years 2008 & 2009.

• Entire state met current PM2.5 Air Quality Standards for the period 2007-2009.

21

Air Quality UpdateAt the end of 2009, all monitors in Indiana

measured attainment for all NAAQS for the first time since Standards were established.

Indiana is currently in attainment for all NAAQS but:

EPA keeps raising (in this case lowering) the bar!

Air Quality Standards

These rules will assist Indiana in maintaining compliance with the current ozone standard, attain the new ozone standard, and help address interstate transport:

• Degreasing - Extend Statewide• Consumer/Commercial Products - Add Statewide• Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) Coatings - Add Statewide• Stage I Vapor Recovery - Extend Applicability• Auto Refinishing - Extend Statewide

Office of Water QualityActivities

• Blue Green Algae– Blue Green Algae in Central Indiana Reservoirs– This Algae known as Cynobacteria that can produce

toxins• Microcystins - liver, tumor promotor• Saxitoxins - neurotoxin• Anatoxin-a - neurotoxin• Anatoxin-b - neurotoxin• Nodularins - liver, tumor promotor• Lipopolysaccharide - inflammation• Cylindrospermopsin – liver other organs

Office of Water QualityActivities

• Blue Green Algae– Center for Earth and Environmental Science, DNR, ISDH,

IDEM Collaboration.– Dr. Lenore Tedesco from the Center for Earth and

Environmental Science collecting and analyzing samples in Geist, Morse, and Eagle Creek Reservoirs.

– IDEM Monitoring Upper Fall Creek Watershed– IDEM updates conditions in reservoirs and posts to website:

• Idem.in.gov/algae

– EQSC Report calls for expanded monitoring.

40

Office of Water QualityRulemaking: Antidegradation

• What is Antidegradation?• Federal requirement that allows for discharge of

pollutants to water under specific circumstances.• Indiana law defines how we will make those

allowances and the rulemaking addresses implementation of the law.

41

Office of Water QualityRulemaking: Antidegradation

• Where does this rule apply?• The current antidegradation rule only applies to the

Great Lakes basin.• The proposed Draft Rule expands the

antidegradation procedures to apply to all waters across the entire state;

42

Office of Water QualityRulemaking: Antidegradation

• What will this rule do?• Increases public opportunities for information and

input;• Protects current "fishable/swimmable“ and other

existing uses of waters;• Allows for the issuance of legal permits for

discharges to water; and,• Does not allow the violation of water quality

standards.

43

• What is the process for this rule?– IDEM held Stakeholder meetings over two years and

drafted rule language.– IDEM held four public meetings.– Draft rule language was ‘second noticed’ for 45 days

in the December 16, 2009 Indiana Register.– After public notice, IDEM summarizes comments,

may make changes to the rule– Draft Rule will be presented to the Water Pollution

Control Board for preliminary/final adoption. – EPA will review the rule as well.
