Subject: UAA comment deadline extended

I just got a message from Wayne Gieselman that DNR is extending the public comment deadline until Jan. 2^nd for the UAA downgrade recommendations. That should give us a little more time to get the word out to the public on the rivers and streams that need to maintain the highest use designations.
