Two Clean Water Act Actions in Alaska

END DATE: April 16.

EPA is offering two separate upcoming Clean Water Act actions by EPA. The first is Alaska's
Revised Water Quality Standards, and second is Alaska's 2020 Integrated Water Quality and
Monitoring Assessment Report.

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's revisions to state water quality
standards removing secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels for Fluoride and Odor, submitted
to EPA for review on June 3, 2003. EPA has not prioritized review of this water quality
standards submittal in past years because ADEC has not relied on the secondary standards in
decision making; however, with the recent Agency focus to reduce the water quality standards
packages in the backlog, EPA now plans to take CWA action on the submittal.

The State of Alaska recently released the draft 2020 Integrated Report for public review and
anticipates submitting the final Integrated Report to EPA in the April-May timeframe.

E15 Fuel Dispenser Labeling and Compatibility
with Underground Storage Tanks

END DATE: April 21.

EPA is proposing two actions regarding the E15 label requirement. First, EPA proposes to
modify the text and color of the E15 label. Second, EPA proposes to remove the E15 label
requirement entirely. EPA is also proposing changes to our underground storage tank
compatibility demonstration requirements that would help enable use of E15 and higher-level
ethanol blends.

EPA expects this action will have tribal implications to the extent that tribally owned entities
sell or intend to sell E15 and own UST systems on Indian country. However, it will neither
impose substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. For
more information about this proposed rule as well as instructions on how to comment, please
see the E15 Label Revisions and E15 Compatibility with Underground Storage Tanks web page.

Guidance for Assessing Chemical Contaminant Data for Use in Fish
Advisories, Volume 4 Risk Communication

END DATE: July 15.

EPA is initiating consultation and coordination with federally recognized tribes on the updated
and modernized Guidance for Assessing Chemical Contaminant Data for Use in Fish Advisories,
Volume 4, Risk Communication. The current guidance is available on EPA's Develop Risk
Communication Programs for Fish and Shellfish Consumption Advisories website.

Both fishing and eating fish are important social, cultural, and dietary aspects of life for many
tribes. This guidance provides tribes, states, and territories information on how to develop,
implement, and evaluate a risk communication program in order to have clear and effective
risk communication methods for fish and shellfish advisories, especially for high-risk groups.

Pop Quiz Answer from Page 1

In 1970, why was the first Earth Day celebrated?

The first Earth Day was held prior to the existence of the EPA or federal regulations that
protect clean air or water. Senator Gaylord Nelson created the holiday to force the issue
onto the national agenda. The EPA was created a few months later in December of 1970.
