Public comment period extended
By: rikki

There will be a public meeting next Wednesday at Pellissippi St TCC on Hardin Valley Rd regarding the August draft environmental impact statement published by the Office of Surface Mining, and the comment period, originally to end October 23, has been extended to November 23.

This was announced October 10, and I missed the news, which means I got the date wrong in my Metro Pulse column published today and missed a chance to publicize the meeting. My regrets!

At least now you have more time to send a letter.

The draft EIS is here: (link...)

On this site, there are two places to submit comments; one on the draft EIS (as you recommend), and one on a proposed rule involving stream buffers. Rikki, can you tell me if there is a difference? Should I comment to one or both?

Thanks!

Sorry for the double-post...When, and exactly where is the public meeting?

Thanks again.

All the details are in the event calender entry.

The DEIS and the proposed rule on the stream buffer zone are one and the same, so no need to comment twice. Instead, get two friends to comment!
