Page 97 1 specific discussion with the Board's Acting Planner, 2 and they directed specifically the scope of what was to 3 be provided and that was provided by PSE&G. So 4 therefore we have fulfilled the requirement for an 5 Environmental Impact Statement. No waiver or relief 6 from this Board is needed in that respect. 7 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Thank you. I agree with 8 Ms. Porter's analysis. If you would direct your 9 attention to section 25-13.2 of our Ordinance, Subpart 10 B, and it says "A pre-application conference shall be 11 held with the Planning Director to determine the 12 content of the Environmental Impact Statement." That 13 was done. The applicant met with Nishuane Associates. 14 They agreed on what the content would be of the 15 Environmental Impact Statement for this project and 16 such a statement was submitted. Labeling it 17 Environmental Impact Statement is exalting form over 18 substance. The substance of what we received in this 19 submission from the Applicant satisfied the Planner who 20 ruled that it was in accordance with their meeting, and 21 as a Board we are obligated to accept it. 22 BOARD MEMBER SCOTT: Thank you for that 23 clarification. 24 CHAIRMAN NEUER: You're certainly welcome. 25 Now, do you have questions for the witness?
