EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00002888-00001 To: 'Greenwalt, Sarah' Subject: RE: 14-1150 Center for Regulatory Reason v. EPA "Per Curiam Order Filed (Merits Panel)' (EPA-04/02/14 Letter) - Administrative resolution Sarah The letter we discussed has gone into Admin, Pruitt, Please let me know when a meeting on the issue can be arranged with management. PS - R3 recently sent a letter on Scott's behalf to Congressman Dent that stated blending was "a form of "bypass" under Clean Water Act regulations". I trust that characterization had not been approved by your office. We have EPA affidavits saying that the Agency has not decided that blending should be classified as a bypass outside the 8th Circuit, Those may be helpful in your internal discussions with program staff on this matter. Thanks for your help on this matter.

In light of how the case was dismissed (e.g., please sue EPA somewhere else) and EPA's prior arguments (no final decision was made by the Agency - EPA will decide at the time of permitting) we will be asking Administrator Pruitt to decide whether the ILOC V, EPA case will be followed nationwide (1) to ensure national uniformity on NPDES program implementation (2) confirm to APA rulemaking prerequisites and (3) to avoid ultra vires action on the blending issue. It will probably be 2-3 weeks before that letter arrives at your doorstep. Regards, 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00002888-00003 John John C.
