Process for Resolving Disputes. Any dispute which arises under or with respect to this Agreement will be subject to informal negotiations between the Parties to the Agreement. The period of informal negotiations will not exceed twenty (20) calendar days from the time the dispute is first documented, unless that period is extended by a written agreement of the Parties to the dispute. The dispute will be considered documented when one party sends a written Notice of Dispute to the other Parties. If the Parties cannot resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, the Parties may invoke non-binding mediation by describing the dispute with a proposal for resolution in a letter to the EPA Assistant Administrator for the Office of Water. The Assistant Administrator will serve as the non-binding mediator and may request an informal mediation meeting to attempt to resolve the dispute. The Assistant Administrator will then issue a written opinion that will be non-binding and does not constitute a final EPA action. If this effort is not successful, the Parties still have the option to terminate or withdraw from the Agreement, as set forth in Section XI below.
