Senators Davis, Guess, Ben Stevens were excused from a call of the Senate. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor Tom Matthews of the Douglas Island Bible Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Dear Lord, Lord, I thank You that I can lift this prayer today. It is not only a privilege to be here with these leaders of our state, but it is even more of a privilege to be able to freely come before Your very presence with our requests. We enjoy freedom, Lord. We know that is a commodity that is not available in all parts of the world. I acknowledge that it has been bought with the costly price of the lives of men and women who have fought to preserve that freedom. Help us to never take this for granted. Lord, I lift before You today all those brave soldiers who are currently putting themselves in harm's way on foreign soil. Please bring an end to the wars and bloodshed that are currently taking place on various fronts. Lord, again we ask You to bless these proceedings today. Give wisdom to these senators, wisdom that is beyond them, wisdom that only You can provide. Your word tells 2005-02-16 Senate Journal Page 0314 us that if we lack wisdom, all we need to do is to ask You for it and You will give it. That is our prayer today. And now may the peace of God that passeth all understanding be present here today. I lift this in Your holy name, Amen. Senator Wilken led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.

The following fiscal information was published today: Fiscal Note No. 1, zero, Department of Fish and Game Fiscal Note No. 2, zero, Department of Natural Resources Fiscal Note No. 3, Department of Environmental Conservation Fiscal Note No. 4, zero, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Governor's transmittal letter dated February 15: Dear President Stevens: Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, and in the interest of reducing duplication in and otherwise improving regulatory processes, I am transmitting a bill relating to regulation of 2005-02-16 Senate Journal Page 0320 the discharge of pollutants that would authorize state assumption of primacy over the federal Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Under existing state law, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regulates a broad universe of waste and wastewater disposal activities. These include the same activities (the discharge of pollutants to surface waters) that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates under the NPDES program. This results in duplication of effort by the state and EPA, and in important decisions about the control of wastewater disposal being made by federal regulators with limited knowledge of Alaska- specific issues. Through ch. 143, SLA 2004, DEC was authorized to take the actions necessary to assume primacy for the Clean Water Act NPDES program for the timber-industry sector. It was recognized through enactment of ch. 143, SLA 2004 that a timber-industry sector program would be a good first step on the road to broader assumption of primacy for the NPDES program. That step, however, brings home to Alaska only a relatively small portion of important wastewater permitting decisions. This limits our ability as a state to design a comprehensive, rational environmental protection program. Such a program would balance prevention of threats to state waters from industrial discharges and the more common wastewater discharges such as from municipal sewage treatment plants and stormwater against our constitutional charge to develop state land and resources, consistent with the public interest. This bill would remove the timber-sector limitation on the authority provided by ch. 143, SLA 2004, thereby allowing the DEC to take the actions necessary to assume primacy for all of the NPDES program delegable to the state. This would enable DEC to pursue the full benefit of the federal Clean Water Act for Alaska, by bringing home to the state this important permitting program in full, all at once or through phased implementation. This would not affect adoption or implementation of state water quality standards. The bill also would amend existing fee provisions to allow for financing of a portion of the full state NPDES program through user fees. Specifically, sec. 2 of the bill would give the DEC the general 2005-02-16 Senate Journal Page 0321 authority to adopt user fee regulations covering the entire state- assumed NPDES primacy program, thereby removing the existing limitation of this authority to only the timber-industry sector. 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. Murkowski Governor Consideration of the Calendar Second Reading of Senate Bills SB 60 SENATE BILL NO. 60 "An Act extending the termination date of the Statewide Suicide Prevention Council; and providing for an effective date" was read the second time.
