We've got the information here! In particular, we recommend you click through the DEQ's slide show. The big news is that the permit will be released for comment on December 26th, and that comments will be welcome between December 26th and February 14th. The DEQ will host a public hearing on January 28, 2020 at Charles City County High School, to begin at 6:30pm. If you send in a "technical comment" between December 26th and February 14th, or if you attend the public hearing on January 28th, you will be allowed to speak at the State Water Control Board meeting (once it's scheduled, probably in March or April). We'll want to have LOTS of commenters, so please keep an eye out for posts about how to submit a technical comment, or join us at a Comment Writing party (there's one at the Sandston Library Tuesday, December 10th, at 6:30.)
