When the EPA publishes the notice of intent to deny the permit, 
a public comment period will follow.  This is a very important 
time to enter into the record as much related information as 
possible.  It is possible to also request a public hearing during 
that time period.

It appears that the Navy would also be required to have storm 
water discharge permits.  Such permits could have an impact on 
the land ranges.  If the residual contamination on the land 
ranges are not addressed, they could contaminate rain water which 
runs off into the surface water bodies.  This runoff is required 
to be permitted and meet water quality standards.
