staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is February 

25, 2022. A protest may also serve as a 

motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

Interventions

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders

recreationist. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene. For more 

information about motions to intervene,

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To
