The Good News is that an April 22, 2009 Stipulation alters the schedule order that Judge Shelton issued earlier in the month and reestablishes the Public Comment Period the judge had removed. The comment period is from May 11 to June 8, 2009. The DEQ has scheduled a Public Meeting on May 27, 2009... a week after a CARD information meeting on May 20, 2009 to discuss the proposed changes to the Consent Judgment.
The Bad News is that the comment period starts soon and is only four weeks long (less than three weeks before the Public Meeting) ... not much time for the public to review the proposed changes to the Consent Judgment given that the DEQ and Pall have been discussing the change for almost a year. SRSW had requested a 90-day comment period.
