If there are any policy/counselor staff that may join you as well please let me know so we can prepare. On our side it would be the Lieutenant Governor, Byron Mallot, our Commissioner of Natural Resources Andy Mack, our Acting Deputy Commissioner and State Geologist Steve Masterman, and myself. One of our key priorities for the meeting would be to discuss and identify contacts within the Agency to work with on a number of issues very important to Alaska, and to give an overview of some of the historical challenges and areas for potential improvement we have seen. We would also be very interested in hearing about the Administrator's priorities and how we can be helpful providing information and contacts to you all. Let me know what else I can provide and thanks again, John From: Lyons, Troy [mailto:lvons.trov@epa.gov1 Sent: Monday, September 11, 2017 11:38 AM To: Crowther, John J (DNR) <iohn.crowther@alaska.gov>: Cory, Preston (Katherine) <Co ry.Preston@epa.gov> Subject: RE: State of Alaska Scheduling Request Thanks, John.
