The DEP responded in record time to Pleasant Pond Mill LLC’s motion to withdraw, reconsider, or elucidate sent to the Service List earlier this morning. I expected a quick response, but I didn’t expect them to dismiss it so perfunctorily and with so little fanfare. They did not bother with a procedural order, they simply sent this short email:
Dear Mr. Kelley,
Thank you for your submittal, dated January 2, 2014 containing a Motion for Withdrawal/Reconsideration/
Sincerely,
Beth Callahan
Project Manager
Division of Land Resource Regulation
Maine Department of Environmental Protection
It is pretty clear to me that the Department of Environmental Protection is tired of Mr. Kelley’s quasi-legal maneuvering and have had enough. One has to wonder whether Mr. Kelley has gotten the message.
Happy New Year to All! What a great way to start the year!
Indeed Kate, indeed!
They gave him lots of rope earlier, gave him extensions, gave him lengthy replies and patient consideration.
The rope is now coming up short, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
