We are looking forward to the discussion as well! At the risk of wearing out my welcome, one of our members suggested that James Kenney, Sr. Policy Advisor for Unconventional Oil & Natural Gas, join the meeting. I do not know James, but if you think it would be helpful, would you please invite him to the meeting as well? Also, I have attached the AXPC and IPAA letter to Lee Forsgren from September of 2017 that may be helpful as a read-ahead for our meeting tomorrow on ELGs. Thanks again and see you tomorrow!

Valerie was kind enough to reach out to me to set our meeting with you next week with the American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC) to discuss ELGs on Thursday at 4pm. I will get you the final RSVP list from our side later this afternoon but I had two quick questions: 1) Do you think we could have a conference call for Jill with Anadarko who cannot make the meeting in person? 2) Per my note below, do you think that David Ross could join the meeting (even briefly)? Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next week. Thanks!

As I think you are aware, I represent the American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC) which is comprised of the 34 largest independent oil and gas producers in America. (www.axpc.us) Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tiers 8&9 ED 002061 00105866-00003 You may also recall that given our earlier meeting with Lee Forsgren, AXPC is very interested in having the Agency reconsider the Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source Category (ELGs for UOG), which imposed a "zero-discharge" standard on wastewater from unconventional oil and gas extraction under the CWA. We understand from court filings that the rule has been remanded to the Agency in its entirety. This is an optimal time for the Agency to either repeal or revise the ELGs for UOG, and not simply undertake a "quick fix" on the definition of the rule. As you know, we had the opportunity to meet earlier this year with Lee Forsgren, and would appreciate the opportunity to come in and discuss this matter further with you. [We had initially planned to wait until David Ross was confirmed, but recognize that time may be of the essence given the remand and the up-coming court status conference. If the Agency intends to await his arrival to make any decisions on this matter, we would be happy to wait and discuss it with him at that point.] Thank you in advance for your consideration!
