on the proposed permitting action under 

section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. 

Due to the conclusion of formal 

consultation with the USFWS and 

finalization of its Biological Opinion 

(BO) on December 14, 2011, EPA has 

removed Part I.D.5 from the permit. 

Additionally, consultation between EPA 

and the USFWS has resulted in the 

addition and modification of certain 

permit conditions designed with 

consideration for listed species and 

critical habitat. 

EPA Region 6 considered all 

comments received in reaching the final 

permit decision. 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
