NPDES Program Branch l!.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5 77 West Jackson Blvd Chicago , IL 60604 Re: Request for Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification for the Proposed Modification for the Proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm water Discharges from Industrial Activities, also referred to as the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP). Dear Mr. 

### Bell , The Sokaogon Chippewa Community, Natural Resources Board, has completed our review and public notice process regarding your request for Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification for the Proposed Modification for the Proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm water Discharges from Industrial Activities , also referred to as the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP). The Natural Resources Board has made a dec i sion on March 5 , 2014 to deny the Section 401 certification for the NPDES General permit for the following reasons: 

### 1. In our water quality standards we have Outstanding National Resource Water and Exceptional High Quality Water anti-degradation classification which prohibits direct discharges to surface waters within reservations boundaries. We felt the general permit would not be consistent with the way we intend to implement our water quality standards and administrative ordinance. Therefore, we prefer to evaluate all future projects on a case-by-case basis , and apply for individual NPDES permits if necessary ; 2. The general permit would not allow tribal self-regulation; 3. The general permit would allow a certain amount of discharge into tribal surfac e waters and/or wetlands.
