Holland & Hart represents the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, an entity of the State of Alaska, seeking to construct a natural gas pipeline through Alaska. The permitting for this project (which is included on the Fast-41 Permitting Dashboard) has been ongoing for a number of years. We have run into a situation where EPA Region 10 has indicated that they believe the Yukon River drainage system (approximately 1/4 of the State) may be an Aquatic Resource of National Importance (ARNI) under the Clean Water Act. AGDC (and I believe the Administration of Governor Walker) strongly disagrees with such a designation. We would like to meet with someone at EPA headquarters to detail the reasons why we believe such a designation is inappropriate. Who would you suggest I coordinate with?
