 environment by January 15, 2002. 


    (d) If the owner of an animal feedlot requests an extension 
 for an application for a National Pollutant Discharge 
 Elimination permit or state disposal system permit by June 1, 
 2001, then the agency shall grant an extension for the 
 application to September 1, 2001. 


    (e) An animal feedlot in shoreland that has been unused may
