BEP grants CLNG hearing
postponement request

Today — months after Calais LNG applied for permits, months after Calais LNG claimed its state applications were ready, months after Calais LNG requested and received expedited review by the Maine Board of Environmental Protection (BEP) , after all the parties obtained over 100 witnesses and submitted testimony, and after all arrangements were made for the week-long hearing in Calais (including transportation, lodging, and meals for the Board, witnesses, intervenors, and lawyers); and then after Calais LNG decided it was not really ready after all, and requested a hearing postponement — the BEP granted Calais LNG's request for a hearing postponement.
