NDIC Hearing Dockets, December, 2021

Usual disclaimer applies: I do this quickly for my benefit. I do not expect readers to read this summary. There will be content and typographic errors. I used shorthand that may be confusing.  For all I know the links may not even be correct. I haven't checked them in quite awhile. In a long note like this there will be content and typographical errors. If this is important to you, go to the source.

Supplement

This was added November 30, 2021. Again, this is a case, not a permit:

• 28550: NDIC, Targa Badlands LLC's motion for protective order as it relates to the application of Enerplus Resources.

Note the number of this case. It turns out that case #28550 had not been previously posted. Back on August 27, 2020, the last case was #28549, and on September 16, 2020, the next hearing date, the next case was #28551.
