Twelve Clans Unity Hospital Earns ACR Accreditation Public Notice and Comment Period U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 Proposed Wastewater (NPDES) Permit No. IA0073717 WinnaVegas Casino Wastewater Treatment Facility Sloan, Woodbury County, Iowa

This public notice is issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 (EPA). EPA is seeking comments on a proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), for the discharge of wastewater from the WinnaVe- gas Casino wastewater treatment facility (facility) owned and operated by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. EPA is seeking written comments regarding this proposed action until July 2, 2021. The address for written comments or to request a public hearing is shown below. BACKGROUND: NPDES permits to discharge wastewater to waters of the United States are issued under Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. Section 1342, subject to certain effl uent limitations and other conditions. The Win- nebago Tribe of Nebraska owns and operates the facility and has applied to EPA for an NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater from the facility, which consists of a three-cell wastewater lagoon system. The facility discharg- es treated wastewater to an unnamed tributary of the Missouri River through an outfall located within the exterior boundaries of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska Indian Reservation. EPA has the authority to issue an NPDES per- mit for this facility, located and discharging in Indian country. On the basis of information provided to EPA by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, and application of pertinent standards and regulations, EPA proposes to issue NPDES Permit No. IA0073717 to the facility, pursuant to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. Section 1342.

This survey is in regards to the Covid-19 response and the American Kathleen Cue, Nebraska Extension Horticulture Educator in Dodge County Rescue Plan that was passed by Congress. Colorado Spruce The Christmas tree shape of Colorado spruce is beautiful indeed, but several common problems make growing them a challenge. Deep Cold February’s hard hit of negative double digit cold resulted in the tops dying out of spruce trees. This caused cracks to develop in trunk tissues that then leak sap. This is apparent with the accumulation of white crust on the trunk and branches. Once cracks develop, canker pathogens like Cytospora gain access to conductive tissues within the tree, widening the wound. Unfortunately, sprays and drenches do not counter the effects of Cytospora canker. Prune out the dead central leader and re-train a lower branch to take over as the new central leader. Branches below the new central leader can be cut back to restore the pyramid shape.

The Winnebago Tribal Council is 100% AGAINST Meth. Not only is Meth harmful to the individual, it destroys families and our community. Meth use is not the HoChunk/Winnebago way of life. On 12-30-19, during the Winnebago Mid-monthly Tribal Council meeting, a motion was passed to publish all meth related offenses occurring on the Winnebago reservation, in the Winnebago Indian News.

The following individual(s) has been arrested for a meth offense…

As of 05-25-2021, there are no recent meth arrest(s) to report. Winnebago Indian News, Saturday, May 15, 2021 — Page 11 LPTC 2021 GRADUATES
