6:30pm Presentation from Regulator about application
7:30pm A member of the State Water Control Board opens hearing for comments
People who attend this Hearing may also attend State Water Control Board meeting, most likely in July, when the application will be decided upon.
More details:
As far as the hearing goes, the informal part starts at 6:30pm. I’ll be
giving a presentation on the draft permit and our process. The
applicant may also give a presentation on the project if they desire
(not sure yet). Then, there will be an opportunity for some Q&A with
questions fielded by DEQ folks and/or the applicant. At 7:30pm, the
formal hearing starts. A member of the State Water control Board will
be moderating the hearing. At that point, there is no more back and
forth discussion. There will be a sign up sheet when you come in – you
can indicate on that sheet if you’d like to speak for the record. The
Board member will call people up one by one to speak. Depending on the
number of people who sign up to speak, he may place a time limit on how
long you can talk. The Board member may also ask at the end if there is
anyone else who would like to speak. Everything is recorded and all
comments will be compiled by me and addressed in a package that will go
before the full State Water Control Board (likely in July) for a
decision. Citizens who attended the hearing are also welcome to attend
the Board meeting.
