We’re off to the races — the Public Utilities Commission has issued its Notice of the Comment Period, initial comments on completeness due November 19, 2013, and reply comments due December 3, 2013.
What’s at issue? It’s pretty loose, essentially whether the application is complete, so says the PUC:
Topic/s Open for Comment:
• Does the application contain the information required by Minnesota Rules, part 7849.0220, subpart 2?
• Are there any contested issues of fact with respect to the representations made in the application?
And if this wasn’t enough, ATC/Xcel also applied for the Badger-Coulee transmission line today, from La Crosse to Madison (the Cardinal sub in Middleton). www.nocapx2020.info
