Proposed Modification of a General

NPDES Permit for Facilities Related to

Oil and Gas Extraction on the North

Slope of the Brooks Range, Alaska

(Permit Number AKG–31–0000)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency, (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed modification

of a general permit.

SUMMARY: This proposed modification of

a general permit is intended to regulate

activities related to the extraction of oil

and gas on the North Slope of the

Brooks Range in the state of Alaska. The

proposed modified general permit

includes a provision to extend the area

of coverage to include facilities off-shore

of the North Slope Borough of Alaska.

The extension would cover sanitary

and/or domestic wastewater discharges,

construction dewatering, and

hydrostatic test water. The proposed

modified general permit also includes a

new outfall designation for the

discharge of hydrostatic test waters. In

addition, several sections of the permit

have been changed to provide

clarification on issues that have been

confusing during the administration of

the permit to date. When issued, the

proposed modified permit will establish

effluent limitations, standards,

prohibitions and other conditions on

discharges from covered facilities. These

conditions are based on existing

national effluent guidelines, the state of

Alaska’s Water Quality Standards and

material contained in the administrative

record. A description of the basis for the

conditions and requirements of the

proposed modified general permit is

given in the fact sheet.

DATES: Interested persons may submit

comments on the draft general permit to

EPA, Region 10 at the address below.

Comments must be received in the

operations Office by December 10, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed

modified general permit should be sent

to Cindi Godsey, U.S. EPA, Region 10;

Alaska Operations Office, 222 W. 7th

Street #19, Anchorage, Alaska, 99513–

7588.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Copies of the Draft Modified Permit and

Fact Sheet are available upon request.

Requests may be made to Jeanette

Carriveau at (206) 553–1214 or to Cindi

Godsey at (907) 271–6561. Requests may

also be electronically mailed to:

CARRIVEAU.JEANETTE@EPAMAIL.EPA.GOV

or

GODSEY.CINDI@EPAMAIL.EPA.GOV

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this action from the

review requirements of Executive Order

12866 pursuant to Section 6 of that

order.

Regulatory Flexibility Act:

After review of the facts presented in

the notice printed above, I hereby certify

pursuant to the provision of 5 U.S.C.

605(b) that this modified general NPDES

permit will not have a significant

impact on a substantial number of small

entities. Moreover, the permit reduces a

significant administrative burden on

regulated sources.

Dated: October 30, 1997.

PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF A

GENERAL NATIONAL POLLUTANT

DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM

(NPDES) PERMIT TO DISCHARGE

POLLUTANTS PURSUANT TO THE

PROVISIONS OF THE CLEAN WATER

ACT (the Act) FOR

Facilities Related To Oil and Gas

Extraction

This fact sheet includes (a) the

tentative determination of the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

to modify the general permit, (b)

information on public comment, public

hearing and appeal procedures, (c) a

description of the proposed discharges,

and (d) a listing of tentative effluent

limitations and other conditions.

Persons wishing to comment on the

tentative modifications contained in the

proposed modified general permit may

do so by the expiration date of the

Public Notice. All written comments

should be submitted to EPA as

described in the Public Comments

section.

After the expiration date of the Public

Notice, the Director, Office of Water,

will make final determinations with

respect to permit issuance. A General

Permit follows rulemaking procedures

so EPA’s issuance and promulgation

activities must be conducted in

accordance with the Administrative

Procedure Act (APA). The modifications

in this general permit will become

effective 30 days after publication of the

final modified general permit in the

Federal Register according to section

553(d) of the APA. Anyone wishing to

appeal the modifications in this general

permit must do so in court according to

40 CFR 124.71. Interested persons may

challenge the modifications, within 120

days of issuance, in the Circuit Court of

Appeals of the United States under

section 509(b)(1) of the Act.

The proposed NPDES modified

general permit and other related

documents are on file and may be

inspected at the above address any time

between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.,

Monday through Friday. Copies and

other information may be requested by

writing to EPA at the above address to
