I just would like to make a short comment that I oppose this amendment. This is just another waiver of standards, another rollback of existing requirements, and it is specifically for Anchorage, AK. If this amendment is adopted, the law will allow for less than primary treatment. I am concerned that the next amendment will be to allow totally untreated sewage to be discharged into coastal waters, whether it is offered by the gentleman from Alaska or other amendments that will come forward. I urge rejection of the amendment.
