adopted and certified to be a correct copy of the regulation changes that the Department of

Environmental Conservation adopts under the authority of AS 46.03.020, AS 46.14.020,

Act (AS 44.62), specifically including notice under AS 44.62.190 and 44.62.200 and opportunity

Department of Environmental Conservation also gave special attention to alternate practical

methods in this regulatory action, as required by AS 46.03.024.

The regulation changes adopted under this order take effect on the 30th day after they have been

filed by the lieutenant governor, as provided in AS 44.62.180.
