ARM 17.30.1303. INCORPORATIONS BY REFERENCE

(1) In accordance with the federal Clean Water Act, this subchapter of Title 17, chapter 30, establishes a permit system (MPDES) which is essentially the equivalent of the federal permit system (NPDES) administered by the EPA. (2) In view of the federal Clean Water Act's requirement of equivalence with the federal permit system, and in order to simplify the rulemaking process and make the rules less cumbersome, the department has relied heavily upon incorporation and adoption by reference of federal requirements as set forth in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and in the federal Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1251, et seq. (3) Where the department has adopted a federal regulation or statute by reference, the following shall apply: (a) references in the federal regulations to "administrator," "regional administrator," "director," or "U.S. environmental protection agency," or the like, should be read to mean "department"; (b) where the department incorporates by reference a subpart of a federal regulation, both the subpart and its constituent sections and subsections are also incorporated by reference. (4) All of the incorporations by reference of federal agency regulations listed in the table in (7) shall refer to federal agency regulations as they have been codified in the July 1, 1991, edition of Title 33 and 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) , unless another codification date is specified. (5) For persons applying for an MPDES permit, the department will furnish a full text of all rules in this subchapter, including all tables and appendices. (6) All material which is incorporated by reference may be obtained from the Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 200901, Helena, MT 59620-0901. Interested persons seeking a copy of the CFR may address their requests directly to: Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
