ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
This is an emergency use only land application permit that has benn maintained since the late 1990's. The MRO is
okay with the renewalof this permit. No fields have been added or subtracted from the permit.
Should there ever be an actual need to use these fields, the MRO would request updated compliance and review
boundary information to be submitted prior to applying residuals to these fields.
