HJR  59                                                                      
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 59 by Representatives Green and                     
Rokeberg, entitled:                                                            
                                                                               
Respectfully requesting the Environmental Protection Agency to                
issue a final National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System                  
permit for Cook Inlet oil and gas operations that omits the                    
incremental permittee monitoring and reporting obligations                     
identified in the Agency's draft permit and, consistent with the               
philosophy of the Agency's 1996 National Water Program Agenda,                 
allows the permittees to operate under pollutant discharge                     
monitoring and reporting requirements that are not more rigorous               
than those requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge                    
Elimination System permits in place.                                           
                                                                               
was read the first time and referred to the Resources Committee.
