Ken and Doug,
Recently Wyoming DEQ was made aware of EPA R8's intent to begin implementation of EPA's revised interpretation of CWA Section 518. Wyoming has concerns that I would like to discuss with you. I have attached the EPA fact sheet and a comment letter sent by Utah that gives a good overview of issues and concerns that would be mostly consistent with Wyoming's view. My staff are in the process of summarizing Wyoming specific concerns that will be sent at a later date. There were 44 commenters (mostly states and tribes). Ten states commented (ND, SD, UT, CO, ID, OK, MI, WI, MN and ME). I have attached the link to EPA's final interpretive rule and associated public comment below.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this with you in more detail. Thanks. Todd
