Okla. Admin. Code § 785:50-9-61

Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 785:50-9-61 - Environmental information documents required by the Board

An EID must be submitted by those applicants whose proposed projects do not meet the criteria for a categorical exclusion and for which the Board has made a preliminary determination that an EIS will not be required. The Board will provide guidance on both the format and contents of the EID to potential applicants prior to initiation of planning. The checklist and guidelines are located on OWRB's website at http://www.owrb.ok.gov/financ-ing/faforms.php.

(1) Prior to the applicant's adoption of the planning document, the applicant will hold a public hearing on the proposed project and the EID, and provide the Board with a transcript of the hearing. The Board will provide guidance to the applicant regarding the contents of the hearing notice and of the hearing. The hearing will generally be advertised at least thirty (30) days in advance in a local newspaper of general circulation. Concurrent with the advertisement, a notice of the public hearing and availability of the documents will be sent to all local, state, and federal agencies and public and private parties that may have an interest in the proposed project. Included with the transcript will be a list of attenders, and written testimony, and the applicant's responses to the issues raised. The transcript of hearing can be audio recorded but must be provided to the Board in the form of either a cd, a dvd or a digital file in mp3 or mp4 format.

(2) The applicant will make copies of the EID available to all federal, state, and local agencies and others with an interest in the project. The Board will provide guidance to the applicant regarding coordination requirements.
