(a) The department may grant, to an applicant for a SPDES permit or to a SPDES permittee, a variance to a water quality-based effluent limitation or groundwater effluent limitation included in a SPDES permit.
(4) A variance shall not be granted if standards or guidance values will be attained by implementing effluent limits required under section [754.1(a)(1) and (2)] 750-1.11(a) of this Title and by the permittee implementing cost-effective and reasonable best management practices for nonpoint source control.
Paragraph 6 of subdivision (b) of Section 702.17 is amended to read as follows:
