Dear Matthew:


Please find attached comments on your draft “Authorization

to Discharge Stormwater Associated With Industrial Activity under the National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/State Disposal System (SDS)

Program—MNR050000”.

Industry comments that we are supporting for this permitting cycle.


When I checked this morning the webpage for

submitting comments on the Draft 2025 ISW General Permit (MNR050000), the

webpage clearly indicated that comments are due February 26,

2025, 11:59 pm CT (see similar examples in image below).

An article by Fredrikson Law independently confirms what I saw earlier

today.  I have attached an image of verification of this statement.


Since many of us are traveling this week and have been

working to meet the 11:59pm deadline this evening and also to be collaborative

and concise with our comments, I was very surprised to find the comment portal

closed EARLIER than 11:59 pm CT.  I wonder how many of the times in the

image below are incorrect.  We have been passing this information along to

other permitee’s as they too were working with the same 11:59pm CT deadline in

mind.


If your own comment portal says that the deadline is 11:59

pm CT, you should honor that, I and others trust that you will.


Thank you very much for accepting CW Companies comments and

your consideration.


Regards,



Crystal

Palmer

As a company with "No Exposure", I would find this to be unnecessary work on our part since we have already been classified as no exposure. Just one more thing to remember.

These permits are unnecessary in many cases. It is burdensome to require a facility to carry a permit when it was deemed "No Exposure." Unnecessary increase in bureaucracy.
