A public hearing is scheduled in Dallas on March 4, <br />1998. The deadline for written comments on EPA's proposal is April 9, 1998. We will mail a <br />briefing paper summarizing EP A's proposals and initial draft comments to all participants on <br />February 23, 1998. A meeting of the steering committee (and any other interested participants) will <br />be called for February 27, 1998, to provide input on the draft comments and to approve issues to be <br />raised at the public hearing in Dallas on March 4, 1998. <br /> <br />If your city wishes to participate in this group effort, please complete and return the attached <br />Participation Agreement. Returning the Participation Agreement to us by February 20, 1998 will <br />ensure that you receive the briefing paper summarizing EP A's proposal and initial draft comments <br />to be mailed on February 23, 1998, and allow you to have input prior to the public hearing on March <br />4, 1998. <br /> <br />If you have any questions concerning this group or its plans to address EP A's phase II <br />stormwater program, please feel free to call me or Joe Freeland at (512) 404-7800. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />0::~- <br /> <br />Jim Mathews <br /> <br />C;I~ <br /> <br />JMJkb <br />Enclosures <br />
