This cover letter is dated Jan. 7th, 2009. It mentions the deadline for comments received or postmarked is February 23, 2009 (which is a few days more than a strict 45-day comment period). <BR/><BR/>Written comments need to be submitted to the OEQC at:<BR/>Ms. Katherine P. Kealoha, Director<BR/>Office of Environmental Quality Control<BR/>235 South Beretania Street, Ste. 702<BR/>Honolulu, HI 96813-2419<BR/><BR/>By Act 2, a second copy must also be submitted to DOT at:<BR/>Mr. Michael D. Formby, Deputy Dir.-Harbors<BR/>State Dept. of Trans., Harbors Div.<BR/>79 South Nimitz Hwy<BR/>Honolulu, HI 96813-4898<BR/><BR/>The cover letter does not say it, but Act 2 does, both of the above copies have to be submitted for DOT/Belt Collins to be required to respond to the written comments. By Act 2, DOT/Belt Collins do not have to respond to oral comments.<BR/><BR/>Fax numbers are given, but would not recommend using them. Might also recommend that mail sent to the above two addresses be sent certified mail at a minimum. <BR/><BR/>The cover letter further refers to the title of this document, "Statewide Large-Capacity Inter-Island Ferry Draft E.I.S." Interestingly enough the "Inter-Island" is not a part of the formal terminology used in Act 2, furthermore 'large capacity ferry vessel' is not used in the title. Will take a further look at that later.<BR/><BR/>Aloha, BradMauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730375540078695956.post-82869873824168504232009-01-08T23:20:00.000-08:002009-01-08T23:20:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.com
