RESOLUTION NO. 59(RES) 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 Cook Inlet National Pollutant
