Subject: Public Notices 8/2/2012
Attachments: Notice Summary 02August2012.xlsx
I've attached the public notices that were sent to newspapers yesterday, and includes 10 permits from the previous July
6 notice.
July 6 Permits (n=10). Please note that this batch was mailed out to Permittees on July 6, but the legal notice was not
sent to the newspapers. Thus you will need to extend the 30-day comment period since the notice was just sent in. I will
put these permit folders in your mail bins today. Lizette already mailed off the hardcopy originals to the Permittee, but I
noticed that some of the copies for the NPDES Permit File are absent, or the copy missed a few pages (e.g., 2"d page of
Cover Letter). Please bear with us! You might need to reprint a copy of the draft cover letter and draft permit for the
NPDES File.
August 2 Permits (n=10). I think everything is ok with this batch. They are still in Lizette's office and the hardcopies will
be mailed out Monday and files retuned thereafter.
Pretreatment (n=1). Monti- there was a Pretreatment public notice that also went into a newspaper. Please touch base
with Lizette on Monday to ensure the notice reflects what was needed. You were listed as the contact- Town of St Paul I
believe.
