The following email just came in from Beth Callahan, project manager for the Clary Lake Water Level Petition. DEP is granting PPM’s request for an extension. So much for the power of positive thinking.

Dear Mr. Kelley,

 The Department has considered your request for an extension of 30 days to reply to review agency comments that were sent to parties on April 9, 2013.  The Department will allow no more than 30 days from today’s date to review and comment on the documentation.  Please submit your comments regarding the review agency documentation no later than June 7, 2013.

On the bright side, it’s only 30 days and it will fly by as have the last 30 days, and the 30 days before that.
