At 9:33 AM this morning Paul Kelley of Pleasant Pond Mill LLC sent a message to the Service List in which he filed a 5 page Motion with the Department of Environmental Protection addressed to Hearing Officer Heather Parent and Project Manager Beth Callahan. If anyone had any questions as to whether Paul Kelley was going to quietly submit to the Department of Environmental Protection’s water level order, this should dispel them. I certainly didn’t have any. The Motion is as follows:
“MOTION FOR WITHDRAWAL/RECONSIDERATION/ELUCIDATION OF THE MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (“DEP”) PROCEDURAL ORDER #9, ISSUED DECEMBER 27, 2013; AND FURTHER INCORPORATING ADDITIONAL MOTION(S) FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO REPLY TO PROPOSED DRAFT WATER LEVEL ORDER AND OTHER PROCEDURAL MATTERS.“
I haven’t read it yet. I will shortly and will comment later. Here’s the 5 page Motion:
Here is the accompanying email:
Dear Hearing Officer Parent & Project Manager Callahan:
Attached please find a formal Motion for Reconsideration/Extention of Procedural Order #9, which PPM’s previous unanswered emails to Ms. Callahan indicated we had hoped to avoid. The Motion identifies errors of fact and law in Procedural Order #9 related to DEP invocation of Rules and scheduling, which PPM now respectfully requests that you review and answer.
In addition, PPM request additional time to address the draft interim order issued before the holiday, after reviewing the agency file on January 6th as currently scheduled.
As previously Noticed to the Department in PPM’s preceeding Motion, travel issues this week make coordination of this matter difficult, but PPM will endeavor to answer any questions or comments you may have as expeditiously as possible. Upon information and belief, residents of Whitefield/Jefferson may still be experiencing significant power issues.
Sincerely,
Paul Kelley, Manager
Pleasant Pond Mill LLC

So, what is he really saying? He doesn’t care about the actual matter, but is fighting the controversy over procedure. That may impress types like himself, but 95% of humanity is sane enough to realize that he’s desperately trying to cover his obvious failures and avoiding responsibility, shrieking and going down fast.
So, Happy New Year Paul. Are you anesthetizing yourself? If I was in your shoes, I’d be drinking.

Mr Kelly can you say…loser? But please do go easy on the imbidements . When you come to you’ll still be the…can you say…loser?
I am chagrined to find myself quoted in Mr. Kelley’s Motion to bolster his position requesting an extension due to inclement weather:
“Petitioners/Intervenors themselves made note of the adverse conditions, stating on December 27th “I was without power for 3 ½ [three and one-half] days this past week and was unable to work at my computer. I did compose some notes on paper with pencil only to find that I can no longer read my own hand writing.” [George Fergusson, Clary Lake Association website posting at clarylake.org].”
Hehe… inclement weather, yes but Paul… I didn’t ask for an extension 🙂
