DES has not received an application pertaining to this project as of yet. We have been involved in preliminary discussions with the applicant. They have sent us conceptual plans. Those plans are public record. Anyone who wishes to see them may come in and take a look. (We don't have an official application yet so for the time being they're in the old Erin Foods file...) The reason I didn't list any specific dimensions this morning is because it's Sunday, I'm at home, and I haven't completely memorized the plans yet. It has nothing to do with not wanting to be transparent.
As for discussions about the viability of the project... DES will conduct those directly with the applicant as we do on all projects. We will discuss general policy, regulation, and environmental concerns here, but not decisions on specific projects. It simply is not appropriate.
