\"Draft\"<\/a>It’s final… that is, the FINAL meeting notice was just issued, one more go round on these draft rules for Certificate of Need (Minn. R. Ch. 7849) and Power Plant Siting Act (siting and routing of utility infrastructure) (Minn. R. Ch. 7850).<\/p>\n

We’ve been at this for about a year and a half, maybe more, and to some extent we’re going round and round and round.<\/p>\n

Here are the September 2014 drafts, hot off the press:<\/p>\n

September Draft 7849<\/a><\/p>\n

September Draft 7850<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Send your comments, meaning SPECIFIC comments, not “THIS SUCKS” but comments on the order of “because of _______, proposed language for 7950.xxxx should be amended to say_______.”\u00a0 It’s a bit of work, but it’s important, for instance, the Advisory Task Force parts are important because we were just before the PUC on this last week, trying to reinforce that Task Force’s are necessary, despite Commerce efforts to eliminate and\/or neuter them.\u00a0 That despite ALJ orders otherwise, the Final EIS should be in the record BEFORE the Public Hearings and Evidentiary Hearings (just lost a Motion to require this last month).<\/p>\n

How can you comment?\u00a0 The best way is to fire off an email to the Commission’s staff person leading this group:<\/p>\n

kate.kahlert@state.mn.us<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re up to it, sign up on the PUC’s eDockets<\/a><\/strong>, and file your Comment in Docket 12-1246.\u00a0 If you’d like your comment filed there, and can’t figure it out, please send it to me and I’ll file it for you.\u00a0 It’s important that these comments be made in a way that the Commission will SEE, in a way that they cannot ignore, when this comes up before them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
