Brainerd Public Utilities; Notice of Waiver of Water Quality 
Certification

    On January 23, 2023, Brainerd Public Utilities filed an application 
for a license for the Brainerd Hydroelectric Project in the above 
captioned docket. On February 1, 2023, the Minnesota Pollution Control 
Agency (Minnesota PCA) received a complete request for a Clean Water 
Act section 401(a)(1) water quality certification from Brainerd Public 
Utilities in conjunction with the above captioned project.
    On February 2, 2023, staff provided Minnesota PCA with written 
notice that the applicable reasonable period of time for it to act on 
the certification request was one (1) year from the date of receipt of 
the request, and that the certification requirement for the license 
would be waived if the certifying authority failed to act by February 
1, 2024. Because Minnesota PCA did not act by February 1, 2024, we are 
notifying you pursuant to section 401(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, 33 
U.S.C. 1341(a)(1), that waiver of the certification requirement has 
occurred.

    Dated: March 15, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
