PermitHere is what I expect to happen. Either this week or next week we will get the long awaited permit announcement. I think maybe by Friday.
That will be followed by a 45 day public comment period.
That will followed by a 45 day extension of the public comment period.
I am not sure how long after that happens that the final permit will be issued. My guess is at least an additional 45 days.
Please start preparing to send emails in support once the public comment period starts. You do not have to be an Arizona resident to comment (or even a US citizen).
