What I'm confused about though is that they said that the judge is a DEQ employee! Isn't that like a conflict of interest? They also went on to state that he will then make a "recommendation" to head DEQ head honcho Steven Chester. So ultimately the decision is in the hands of the guy that made it in the first place! I am not getting my hopes up on this one unfortunately. I recently read in the Mining Journal an article on these very hearings.
