As far as Gypsum permit to increase emissions, anyone can testify at the public hearing and I would be happy to chat with anyone who would like to do so. We also had a community conversation with GP Gypsum tonight (4/14/21)and it was recorded and will be posted on CFET’s website. This should be helpful for folks who want to respond to the public comment/hearing. The directions for the public hearing are a little complicated: https://www.
