Notice is hereby given that the director of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to update the state water quality management plan (208 Plan), as required by Sections 303 and 208 of the Clean Water Act. This plan describes and promotes efficient and comprehensive programs for controlling water pollution from point and nonpoint sources in a defined geographic area. This update includes 208 Plan modifications from:
Eastgate Regional Council of Governments
Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency
Northeast Ohio Four County Regional Planning and Development Organization
Toledo Metropolitan Council of Governments
Areawide Councils of Governments act as the lead planning agencies in 24 Ohio counties (those with large urban populations). The Areawide Agencies prepare and approve the 208 Plan in their counties. Pursuant to applicable regulations, the State of Ohio has authority to certify that the documents include the required plan elements, are consistent with one another, and are consistent with basin plans. The Ohio EPA prepares and maintains the 208 Plan applicable in the remaining 64 counties. The Governor then certifies the entire 208 Plan via submission to U.S. EPA for their approval.
