"GWMAN" opines on timeframe for P2O permit approval

According to a few here, it has not been sent in. And if this is true, it does not inherently mean there is some long wait.

Fact: DEC has no more than 15 days to mail notice that the application is complete. In the JBII case, there are multiple pieces of evidence that that the DEC has been working with JBII for some time, among others, noting the letter from the DEC that is now more than 2 months old. So, it is pretty safe to assume that when the application is submitted, it will be complete, so it will move to the application review and approval process almost immediately.

From the link I provided you, it indicated that a minor project must be approved or rejected WITHIN 45 days. It is more likely than not that JBI will be considered a minor project, and I have seen not one piece of data from anywhere suggesting it will be considered anything bigger than a minor project. Given the fact that JBI has clearly been working with DEC for some time, given how clean the JBI process appears to be, given how bad NY needs taxes coming in and given that we are in an election year, all the evidence suggests that the approval will be done in a much quicker timeframe than 45 days. IMHO, I would dare say that once the application is submitted, it will be approved within 2-3 weeks.
