Request: I am writing today on behalf of Northwest Public Power Association (NWPPA)'s Executive Director Anita Decker. Anita will be in Washington D, C. from Washington state on April 25-26, 2017. She would like to meet with Administrator Pruitt, you or other political appointees who are assigned to work on electric utility issues of interest to NWPPA.
NWPPA is an electric utility association in the Pacific Northwest representing 151 hydroelectric, nuclear power and natural gas electric utilities (municipal and electric coops) affected by EPA regulations including some that are going to be revisited under recent Executive Orders. Their membership involves many electric utilities (municipal and coop) that would be affected by EPA regulations across several states in the Northwest--not just those in Washington state. NWPPA's member utilities serve 20 million customers making it one of the largest electric utility organizations in the western part of the United States.
They are interested in the following:
Waters of the US - next steps (realizing it has been addressed in the Executive Order)
Clean Power Plan review and replacement (they are aware of the Executive Order action last week)
General EPA priorities related to the electric power sector
