Conference Call: Impact of DC Circuit Ruling on Pending NY Projects

Last week, the DC Circuit denied Millennium Pipeline's appeal concerning the New York Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC) failure to issue a Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) within one year after Millennium submitted its application.
The decision means that if a state fails to act within a reasonable time period (i.e., one year) an applicant pipeline may submit a request to FERC to allow construction since the state has waived its right to issue a WQC. In effect, the Court has shifted WQC authority to the FERC after one year of inaction at the state level.
Join us for a primer on the impact of this critical development for project permitting schedules moving forward.
Leading our discussion will be LawIQ Director of Pipeline Markets, Gary Kruse, the former Millennium Pipeline GC, who brings a unique perspective to the issue.
The 30-min agenda will include:

• Overview of events leading to the dispute between Millennium and the NYSDEC
• Impacts for Constitution , Northern Access, and Millennium
• Potential consequences of the ruling for future projects
• Questions
