Morning,
The purposes of tomorrow's meeting is to allow DEQ an opportunity to provide you, the stakeholders, a brief overview of
each Division's permit process and a point of contact within each Division that stakeholders can directly communicate
with throughout each Division's individual application review process related to this proposed project. Each stakeholder
group will have the opportunity to share comments and concerns about the ACP project with DEQ staff so that staff can
consider such comments in any upcoming permit evaluations.
Due to time restraints and the number of stakeholders we anticipate participating in this meeting, our facilitators may
place a time limit on each speaker in order to ensure that all groups represented at the meeting will have a chance to
speak. For those attending by phone, the facilitators will periodically call on you to ensure that you have an equal
opportunity to provide comments. Please note that this meeting is to initiate dialogue between stakeholders and key staff
within DEQ and is not intended to be the only opportunity to interact and share your comments with staff.
Please find attached an agenda for this meeting. I look forward to see you tomorrow at 10 am.
Thankyou
