The application was submitted on Januaryl8, 2002 and deemed complete for technical
review on March 13, 2002. The final day for public comment was May 2, 2002 and a
total of 67 (72 total) letters of objection were received prior to that date. The Pre-Hearing
Conference was held on May 30, 2002 in Pueblo and the resultant order was sent to all
parties on June 6, 2002. The Division sent out it's preliminary adequacy letter on May 6,
2002. Due to the complexity of responding to some of the concerns outlined in that
letter, the applicant requested an extension from the original decision date of June 13,
2002 until August 23, 2002. The applicant submitted responses to the initial adequacy on
July 9, 2002. The Division identified additional concerns in letters of July 12 and July
17, 2002. The applicant submitted acceptable responses to these concerns on July 24,
2002. One of these responses was deemed to be a technical revision to the application,
thereby, delaying a staff recommendation until August 13, 2002.
This recommendation and the rationale for the recommendation are attached to this
mailing along with several other documents. These include; List of DMG witnesses and
exhibits; Summary of issues keyed to their respective letter of comment along with the
complete list of commentors; Five parties to the hearing with their lists of witnesses and
exhibits and; The applicant's list of witnesses and exhibits.
