hereby submit this stipulation and respectfully request that the deadline for EPA’s
response to Plaintiffs’ Complaint be extended until May 12, 2017. The extension request
is based on undersigned EPA counsel’s unavailability because she is in trial in another
case that is scheduled to finish on or around March 21, 2017, and because findings of fact
and conclusions of law will be submitted after the conclusion of this trial.
Respectfully submitted,
