"B.

Any approved waiver shall be submitted in writing, signed by all parties, by the wind energy facility operator to the Corporation Commission.

Why does this bill STRIKE these sentences???? Preventing open public meetings and accountability to the public on environmental impact issues is NOT ok!
"5. βProcess meetingβ means a meeting open to the public which is held by the Department to explain the permitting process and the public participation opportunities applicable to a specific Tier III application;
Additionally, this bill has stricken the words "published notice"! "published notice electronic notification and publication of draft permit or draft denial on the Electronic Environmental Permit Application Docket on the Departmentβs website and opportunity for a formal public meeting, and"
Further, this bill prevents public involvement and notification of the process!!! by STRIKING the following!!! : the Tier II process except the notice of filing shall also include an opportunity for a process meeting, b. preparation of the Departmentβs response to comments, and d. preparation of a proposed permit, published notice of availability of proposed permit and response to comments and of opportunity for an administrative permit hearing;
AND strikes the following!!!
"B. For Tier III applications, the publication shall also include notice of a thirty-day opportunity to request, or give the date, time and place for, a process meeting on the permitting process. If the Department receives timely request and determines that a significant degree of public interest in the application exists, it shall schedule and hold such meeting. The applicant shall be entitled to attend the meeting and may make a brief presentation on the permit request. Any local community meeting to be held by the applicant on the proposed facility or activity for which a permit is sought may, with the agreement of the Department and the applicant, be combined with the process meeting authorized by this paragraph.
