Citizens for Clean Energy were instrumental in requesting Havre as a

second hearing site about the coal plant, and we are hopeful that many

residents from that area will take advantage of this opportunity to

make their feelings known about the coal plant.

For those able to devote the time, there will be a Havre pre meeting

at 4 pm Monday 8-7-2006; IN FRONT OF THE STUDENT UNION BUILDING,

MSU NORTHERN,(200 Cowan Drive) Havre. A number of college students from Stone Child College at Rocky Boy Indian Reservation will be attending the hearing, and we are hoping that many of them will be able to attend this pre-hearing rally. Several members of Citizens for Clean Energy will be coming from Great Falls in order to answer questions, distribute literature, and collect signatures on the petition. The college is closing up by 4:30pm on Monday, but anyone who wishes to meet before the show and tell at 5 pm can meet us in front of the Student Union Building. Stuart Lewin has offered to bring snacks.

The Havre hearing on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the

Great Falls coal plant will take place on Monday Aug 7 at 7pm (open

house at 5 pm) in the Applied Technology Center at MSU Northern (300

West 11th St., Havre, MT). At the 5 pm open house (same location) the

proponents and representatives of MT DEQ and the Rural Utility Service

will be available to answer questions. (The open house is actually

"closed" house; we were not allowed to set up our own information

booth, but it is a good opportunity to make your concerns known to the

proponents).

Additional members of Citizens for Clean Energy may be coming later,

not for the open house but for the hearing itself; if you would like to

carpool from Great Falls please contact Lisa Hardiman at 455-6412.

Each oral presentation should be about 3 minutes long. Presenters are encouraged to visit our Citizen for Clean Energy website:

find additional valuable information to help with oral arguments.
