Project Jupiter's developer and the state ask to cancel the Dec. 7 air permit hearing

The permit fight moved from deadline dispute to delay request

  1. Oct. 22State attorneys call the revised application "not ready for primetime."
  2. Oct. 23Developer says it has not waived the Nov. 23 deadline.
  3. Nov. 3Developer and state ask to vacate the hearing and its deadlines.
  4. Nov. 23Decision deadline on air permit No. 10883, which the developer has waived.
  5. Dec. 7Public hearing was set to begin at the Sunland Park Multi-Generational Center.

If you've been following , the Dec. 7 hearing on its air quality permit may not happen that day. and the Environment Department's filed a joint motion Nov. 3 asking the hearing officer to vacate it. As of Thursday morning, Organ Mountain News could not verify an order granting the request.

The developer also waived the Nov. 23 decision deadline, a reversal from its Oct. 23 filing. The state says it needs more time to review the developer's October revisions. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the permit looks likely to slip into the new year, when Gov.-elect Deb Haaland takes office.

  • Permit: No. 10883, still under review
  • Waiver: not an approval of the permit
  • New hearing date: depends on the state's technical review
  • Dec. 7 hearing: not confirmed canceled as of Thursday morning

Oracle said in October that its revised Bloom Energy fuel cell plant design would cut emissions by about 35%. Environmental advocates have called the changing plans a "moving target" that deserves more scrutiny.

Well, Tank is available again.

“He was dropped off at the shelter this morning, in his cone, less than 24 hours after being adopted. Adopter stated they couldn't handle two dogs in their apartment.
