RE:

Authorization
Application
Review
Dear
Ms.
Valls:

This
is
in
response
to
your
letter
to
Richard
Brewster,
dated
June
16,
1999,
that
pertains
to
the
District's
submittal
of
June
1,
1999.
I
have
enclosed
another
complete
copy
of
additional
information
and
clarification
of
the
District
of
Columbia
authorization
application.
I
am
sending
the
package
by
EPA
pouch
in
the
hope
that
it
will
arrive
firlly
in­
tack.

The
District
does
not
anticipate
being
able
to
respond
to
the
questions
raised
in
your
June
16,
1999
letter
until
the
end
of
July.
We
are
currently
experiencing
staff
shortages
and
must
dedicate
OUTlimited
staff
resources
to
preparing
submittals
associated
with
grant
applications
and
progress
reporting.
