DEQ Accepts Petition!

DEQ and they has accepted the Petition for Reconsideration. (See below article on this page for more information on the petition.) The time frame for the reconsideration is not determined at this time. DEQ will consider the points we have raised in the Petition, modify the terms of the permit if they deem necessary and then issue the permit for a public review and comment process. In the interim, GP will be required to operate under the terms of the new permit because DEQ feels that the new permit has stronger requirements that address some of the public concerns regarding the permit. This is a huge victory for Surfrider Foundation volunteers, local water and beach users and the environment. A big thanks to everyone who worked so hard on this.
