Additionally, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality provided EPA with a CWA Section 401 Certification on June 24, 2009, which included conditions of certification that were incorporated into the final permit. An explicit option to submit notice of intent documents electronically was removed from the final permit due to unforeseen
