Under existing AS 37.10.050 - 37.10.058, state NPDES permits would be included in the designated regulatory services category for which flat fees are set, just as state-issued wastewater disposal permits and the state's certification of federal NPDES permits already are. Section 4 of the bill contains several conditions to include in a state NPDES program. These conditions are the result of extensive consultation between the DEC, the EPA, and permittees who will be affected by the state's assumption of the NPDES program. The enforcement and penalty provisions would apply to the full NPDES program in the same manner as approved by the Legislature last year for the timber-industry sector program authorized by ch. 143, SLA 2004. I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely yours, /s/ Frank H.
