Scheduling Letter

Scheduling Letter. The Permit Board, through MDEQ, may enter a scheduling letter which may include provisions for setting a pre-hearing conference, and which also may include instructions and deadlines for the parties to submit pre-filed direct and rebuttal testimony, documentary evidence, motions, responses, witness lists, and to exchange all exhibits expected to be introduced into the record of the evidentiary hearing. The scheduling letter will be sent certified mail to all parties and the permittee (or permit applicant), if not a party. Motions in Limine, if any, must be filed no later than seven days before the evidentiary hearing. Responses to Motions in Limine may be made on the day of the hearing prior to opening statements. The Hearing Officer may consider and rule upon Motions in Limine.
