Analyzed Economic Effects

Landowner Permission Still Required
If this preliminary permit is issued, the permit holder does not get the right to disturb land or enter lands or waters owned by others without those owners' express permission. You, as a landowner in the project area, keep control over whether project applicants can access or disturb your property.
Commission Offers Help Filing Comments
The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) can help landowners, Tribal members, community groups, and others get information and file comments, motions to intervene, or competing applications. If you want to submit filings about the project, OPP can assist you and filings must be submitted on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 21, 2025.
