The waste material would be delivered from the off-loading site to disposal wells in Washington County and other locations in the area.  The public comment period for this application was April 7-May 6, which we thought was unfair and unreasonable because it was at the height of the coronavirus  pandemic. We asked for an extension of the comment period; this was not granted. We also asked for the responses of Deep Rock LLC to questions raised in the comment period; I was told that I needed to apply to see those responses through the Freedom of Information Act. I did so and have not yet received those responses. We also asked for a public meeting, and I just heard yesterday that this was granted and set for August 7 (5:00-6:30 pm).

We have a commitment from the US Army Corps of Engineers for a virtual public meeting (see below) . The rules will be rather restrictive. We need to discuss strategy, who will participate and questions we intend to pose.
