Ruth, I spoke to the ADEQ about the accelerated permit program and apparently
there are some internal problems with this program and the third party contractors which are on their "list". At this stage of the game, they recommended that we do not resort to this alternative as most of the work that the contractor would do has been done by the ADEQ allready. I then indicated that I would be contacting the Director of the ADEQ about the urgency of this multi million dollar project and the benefits to the state of Arizona. The permit engineer thought that would be a good idea. Because we will be permitting through this agency again for Sundevil, and dont want to upset the agency cart, I am going to speak with the permit engineers supervisor and then to the Director of the ADEQ next week about either an accelerated issuance of the permit or more realistically, allowance to do some construction activities while the ADEQ is completing the review and permit writing. This way, I wont step on any toes. By the way, the ADEQ said that they dont consider this to be a PSD issue. The following time line for permit issuance under the Arizona laws at this stage appears to be: another 2-3 weeks to write the permit, one month by the ADEQ technical staff to do the required internal review and then the EPA is given a one month period to do their review, which is requried by the EPA for all class 1 permit applications in Arizona. Because Im going to be in Phoenix next week, I might be able to set a meeting up with the ADEQ Director and plead Transwestern's case. Ill let you know how it goes......
