    On June 4, 2015, EPA issued the 2015 MSGP for most of the areas

following states and tribe were affected:
     The State of Idaho;
     Federal operators in Washington;
     The Spokane Tribe.
    Now that EPA has received the required Clean Water Act 401 
certifications, the Agency has issued the final 2015 MSGP for these 
areas. Pursuant to CWA section 401(d), the limitations and requirements 
contained in these certifications are now conditions of the 2015 MSGP 
and are included in Part 9.10.3, 9.10.6.7, and 9.10.7 of the permit.
