Moses Lake is already working on the site. I checked satellite images from Sept 26, and you can see the ground work.
Sharon got a draft permit from the state on Sept 10. They asked for 7 edits to the erosion-control plans, which look like drawing fixes and nothing against the project itself. Keel has to answer by Oct 10. Public comments are open and no hearing is scheduled yet.
Panther Creek also has a draft stormwater permit since July, and a second one for streams and wetlands is still under review. The public hearing was Aug 20. Air permits haven’t been filed yet.
So Sharon and Panther Creek are both waiting on final permits, but progressing.
The CEO keeps saying the remaining permits are engineering work, not political. At Sharon, DEP’s letter lines up with what he said: the 7 items are just engineering fixes. Panther Creek is mostly technical too, though DEP is still reviewing the wetland answers.
