Where Are We?

I don't know about you, but with everything going on with SME, HGS and ECP, I sometimes forget what legal/governmental action is pending.

To keep up, I thought it would be helpful to have a current list of the lawsuits, appeals and hearings that are pending as of this date. If you think I've missed any, let me know. Thanks Jerry for your help. (:

1. County Board of Adjustments appeal/hearing regarding HGS land conformance permit issued to SME - brought by landowners and MEIC. Hearing is December 12, 2008.

2. MEIC lawsuit against the City of Great Falls on open records issues - originally filed October 28, 2008. Decision is still pending from Judge Wayne Phillips.

3. CCE/MEIC/Sierra Club CO2 lawsuit against DEQ/SME - this suit was originally filed June 27, 2008. Decision is still pending from Judge Phillips.

4. CCE/MEIC/Sierra Club/National Trust appeal on DEQ's issuance of air permit 3423-01 to SME. Appeal was requested to the BER (Board of Environmental Review) on November 24, 2008 and is pending.

It's not the National Trust involved with the air-permit case, but the National Parks Conservation Association as noted in the media and thanks for posting this update.
