Text of Final Rule for Establishing Pollutant Minimization Plan (PMP) Requirements (pdf 40 KB section 4.30.9 of the DRBC WQ Regulations).Comment and Response Document for PMP Rule (pdf 145 KB issued May 15, 2005).Resolution 2005-9 (adopted establishes PMP requirements).The DRBC on unanimously adopted a rule to establish pollutant minimization plan (PMP) requirements for point (end-of-pipe) and non-point (runoff) discharges of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Delaware Estuary. PMP Rule Establishment & Related Information This improvement hopefully will be reflected as reduced amounts of PCBs found in fish tissue in future years. Recent reports show that the PMPs required by DRBC are working. The top ten dischargers responsible for 90% of the point-source PCB loading have reduced their contributions 76% from 2005-2016.
PMPs require biennial PCB sampling and submission of an annual report summarizing PCB loading reduction efforts undertaken by the discharger. The goal of this program is to work with the regulated community to track down and clean up sources of PCBs in order to meet water quality standards and eliminate fish consumption advisories due to PCBs. The PMP rule, adopted by the Commission in May 2005, establishes a non-numeric approach requiring the track down and reduction of point source and non-point source discharges of PCBs in the Delaware Estuary. In addition to checking water, sediment and fish for PCBs, DRBC requires Pollution Minimization Plans (PMPs) to reduce or eliminate PCBs where they are known to exist.
