ADEQ: Notice of Final Rulemaking (NFRM) on our SWPP stakeholder meetings and materials

Greetings,

Thank you to all of the stakeholders who helped ADEQ complete the Surface Water Protection Program (SWPP) rule, which ensures Arizona’s most important waters are protected regardless of federal actions that may change the scope of surface water regulation in the future.

The rule is due to be published in the January 27, 2023, issue of the Arizona Administrative Register and will be available on the Secretary of State's website. In the meantime, we have posted the Notice of Final Rulemaking (NFRM) on our SWPP stakeholder meetings and materials webpage | View Page >

The effective date for the SWPP rule is February 20, 2023. ADEQ filed the rule with the Secretary of State on December 22, 2022. Per Arizona Administrative Code § 41-1032, the rule is effective 60 days after filing.

Thank you,

Trevor Baggiore
Water Quality Division Director
ADEQ
