AK HB185

Amends AS 46.03.100(e) to add exemption (7) for firing or other use of munitions in training activities conducted on active ranges, including those operated by the United States Department of Defense or military agencies.

Exemption applies unless the munitions use is otherwise regulated under 33 U.S.C. 1251-1376 (Federal Water Pollution Control Act), as amended.

Replaces previous language that exempted munitions use only when it did not result in discharge into waters of the United States with broader exemption subject to federal law requirements.

Allows Department of Environmental Conservation to retain authority over munitions discharges that fall under federal water pollution control regulations.
