ALJ O’Reilly has issued her Order, and each of RRANT’s Motions were denied. Here’s the Order:
It seems that it’s not a problem if landowners potentially affected don’t get notice, landowners who could have transmission over their land. A point raised was that none of these landowners have tried to intervene… well… do they even know???
… sigh…
Well, the RRANT public comment is in, and we’ll see what happens.

So here I sit, in the Bear Paw campground next to Lake Itasca, and realize that there’s been no Order on the RRANT_Motion to Intervene Out of Time and TODAY is the deadline for Public Comments. So the choice was to file something today, or forever hold my peace if the ALJ doesn’t file an Order. OK… fine… whatever… there’s internet access in the Bear Paw campground, site 38e, love the information age, so BRING IT ON!

The DNR filed some new comments too, haven’t read them, but referenced them because they’d requested more information about the “Effie alternative” and Minnesota Power did NOT want that alternative to be used.
