If you haven’t signed up to be an intervenor, we’re holding another workshop to help you do so.  Stop by any time between 1 and 5.  What is an “intervenor?” According to FERC’s Frequently Asked Questions, “An intervenor is an official party to a proceeding and enjoys distinct advantages over those who only file comments. Intervenors have the right to: participate in hearings before FERC’s administrative law judges; file briefs; file for rehearing of a Commission decision; have legal standing in a Court of Appeals if they challenge the Commission’s final decision.” FERC notes, “As a general rule, you should intervene when you may be materially affected by FERC’s decision on a specific case, project or policy. Intervention gives you the right to challenge FERC’s decisions in Court. Non-intervenors can not take the FERC to court.” Those materially affected include all landowners on the route, and others with strong interests, such as neighbors, and businesses that fear direct impacts. The goal of this workshop is to assist people in registering as intervenors. More detailed FERC information on intervention is here.
