If it has already been issued and did not come through to me for some reason, please send it at your earliest convenience. If it has not yet been issued, please forward this email to the Hearing Examiner, as we wish to re-emphasize the urgent need to obtain a decision in order to make this year’s planting season and avoid significant damages.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good morning, I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I’m checking in on the status of the decision. As discussed at the hearing, there is a limited window for planting this farm’s oysters, and hence it is imperative that Rock Island Shellfish gets a decision soon so that it does not miss the next year’s planting season. We would appreciate it if the Hearing Examiner could issue the decision shortly, or at least provide us with a timeline as to when it will be issued. Thank you. Jesse From: Adiel F.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good Morning, Ms. Gallaway. I am writing to inquire if Examiner McLean has a projected date for issuance of the permit decision. As discussed at hearing, there are limited periods during the year in which the project’s oysters can be planted, and thus Rock Island Shellfish is eager to receive a decision soon.
