As far as when it will be filed, I think the estimates of "before the end of the year" are way too conservative. The email correspondence Matt had with the environmental committee that met with Laidlaw in early August seemed to think it would be "any day now." Laidlaw typically releases PRs on Mondays- so next Monday August 31st (as I've stated before) is a distinct possibility. The following Monday, September 7th is Labor Day. So it seems Aug. 31, Sept. 14, or Sept. 21 are likely dates. Any later than that and Mike has blown yet another timeline estimate as it will clearly be after "late summer." I actually think we're past late summer, but...
