1108 Sulfur Dioxide Emissions From Fuel Burning Equipment
The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) of the Department is proposing to revise Delaware 7 DE Admin. Code 1108 to lower the allowable content of sulfur in fuels combusted in Delaware, and to effectively reduce the emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere, which will aid in the attainment and maintenance of Delaware’s air quality relative to the SO2 and fine particulate matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The reduction will also reduce acid rain, and will aid in reaching visibility goals of the federal regional haze program.
In addition, the Department will submit the revision of 7 DE Admin Code 1108, after being finalized, to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Delaware’s state implementation plan (SIP).
On June 2, 2010, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strengthened the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the pollutant sulfur dioxide (SO2), by adding a new standard of 75 parts per billion. Section 110(a)(1) of the CAA requires States to submit to the EPA a State Implementation Plan (SIP) that provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of a newly promulgated or revised NAAQS.Section 110(a)(2) lists the elements that are to comprise the implementation plan, which include basic program elements such as enforceable emission limitations and control measures, air quality monitoring and modeling, a permitting program, adequate funding and personnel, authority under state law to carry out the plan, emissions reporting, emergency powers, public participation, and fee collection. Because there have been NAAQS in existence for many years that cover the pollutant SO2, the CAA 110 requirements are already substantially addressed in Delaware’s SIP. The proposed SIP document discusses how Delaware’s SIP meets each requirement of Section 110(a)(2)(A)-(M) of the CAA for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
Substantial revisions to the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations are proposed to address April 2005 recommendations of Governor Minner’s Task Force on Surface Water Management. The regulations have been revised to address stormwater volume management, conveyance adequacy, operation and maintenance of stormwater management facilities, and to establish performance standards for sediment and stormwater practices. A public hearing was conducted on March 1, 2012. Following comments received, substantive changes are proposed to the regulatory language necessitating a second public hearing.
Upon the effective date of revised regulations, the Regulations Governing the Pollution Control Strategy for the Indian River, Indian River Bay, Rehoboth Bay, and Little Assawoman Bay Watersheds, effective November 11, 2008, Section 5.0 Sediment and Stormwater Controls, may be affected.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Division of Watershed Stewardship will conduct a second public hearing on the proposed revisions to the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations Regulation No. 5101 Sediment and Stormwater Regulations, to address the April 2005 recommendations of Governor Minner’s Task Force on Surface Water Management, as well as substantive changes to regulatory language following the first public hearing.
The public hearing on this proposed revision of Regulation No. 5101 Sediment and Stormwater Regulations will be held Tuesday, April 23, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. in the DNREC Auditorium, Richardson and Robbins Building, 89 Kings Highway, Dover, DE 19901.
The Delaware Board of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene, pursuant to 24 Del.C. §1106(a)(1), proposes to revise its rules and regulations.

There is also an addition to the title of Regulation 6.4, reflecting this addition.
Pursuant to 24 Del.C. §2506(a)(1), the Delaware Board of Pharmacy has proposed revisions to its rules and regulations. The definition of "compounding" is revised to specify that reconstitution of oral solutions is not considered compounding. Rules 6.4 and 11.2.8, pertaining to "Customized Patient Medication Packages" are amended. In particular, Rule 6.4 states that such packaging of controlled substances is prohibited. Rule 14.0, pertaining to the administration of injectable medications, is amended to encompass registered interns and pharmacy students, with the requirement that registered interns and pharmacy students must be directly supervised by a licensed pharmacist who is approved for injectable administration. Registered interns and pharmacy students shall also be required to complete continuing education in this area of practice. Rule 14.0 is also revised for greater clarity.
In accordance with 29 Del.C. §10118(a), the final date to receive written comments will be May 30, 2013 which is 15 days following the public hearing. The Board will deliberate on all of the public comment at its regularly scheduled meeting on June 19, 2013 at 10:00 a.m., at which time it will determine whether to adopt the rules and regulations as proposed or make additional changes due to the public comment.

Loockerman Street, Suite 210, Dover, DE 19901 and is available for inspection during regular office hours. Copies are available upon request.
