IMPORTANT NEWS: The public comment period for Rocky Forge has ended. Apex must now produce a document containing all of the comments and their responses. When that document becomes available, we will post it here.
The following documents were provided by Apex Clean Energy, LLC to the DEQ to fulfill the requirement of the PBR process. These documents are documents to be used by the public in submitting comments during the public comment period.
Please note that Attachment 11A was split into ten parts due to size restrictions on our web server.
