1994 modified general permits. This is

also notice of EPA’s issuance of a

Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI)

of the GPs to EPA, Region 10 at the

received by March 14, 2000. Public

Hearings are scheduled in Anchorage

General Permits and the Finding of No

Significant Impact should be sent to
