Yes, but I don't like the way EPA Region 9 informed the EAB. They indicated that the petitioners (appellants) were open to ADR, but that Excelsior Mining said "nope". Kind of casts Excelsior Mining in a negative way -- painting Excelsior Mining like they weren't amenable to reasonable discussions, or something like that. Who knows which members on the EAB like ADR as an option to consider before forcing the EAB to make a decision?
Why didn't EPA Region 9 just say that ADR was not an option as all the parties couldn't agree to ADR, without specifying which party was saying "go pound sand"?
