9. The CAC voted to recommend adoption of the MIMP, with 20 additional recommendations as described in detail in the April 17, 2012 CAC Final Report.

10. The FEIS was appealed before the Hearing Examiner, who held a joint hearing on DPD's recommendation and the adequacy of the FEIS on May 3-4, 2012
