Entries are drawn from filings and orders on the FERC docket and public proceedings. Accession numbers are included for reference in FERC eLibrary.
Project restoration at 94%; restoration “proceeding satisfactorily.”
FERC's Office of Energy Projects: considerable restoration work appears to remain outstanding, and issues may be referred to the Office of Enforcement.
Remediation areas will be completed by the end of June 2020.
Nine months after that deadline, the Commission issues an Order on Environmental Compliance directing Midship to remedy unresolved tracts within 60 days.
Facilities constructed in compliance with all applicable conditions of the Order.
The Commission issues an Order to Show Cause: justify why buried rock and construction debris in work areas are not a certificate violation.
Restoration completed project-wide.
FERC requires a restoration assessment plan within 7 days on one tract: buried debris, sedimentation of a creek, wetland and flood-control reservoir, and a claim that the seed mix killed cattle.
Midship expects to complete restoration within the Commission's 60-day timeframe.
Landowners and CLC, through attorney Carolyn Elefant, petition for an Order to Show Cause seeking daily civil penalties or certificate revocation.
Commitments to restoration stated across multiple filings.
Nearly two years after in-service, the House oversight subcommittee chair says extensive restoration issues continue on landowners' property.
