The Department served notice of the lifting of the stay on the parties and the parties were informed that a hearing in this matter is scheduled to begin on March 18, 2008.

Preliminary Findings of Fact

Given the complexities of the factual determinations that must be made in determining material injury and the extent of the hydraulic connection between the ground water supplies beneath A&B and other areas of the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer, the Director is requested to submit by January 15, 2008 a report containing preliminary findings of fact. The preliminary findings of fact are intended to provide the parties and the hearing officer with the Department's current understanding of the facts relevant to A&B' s delivery call. The Director also is requested to identify the Department employees or agents who participated in the preparation of the substantive preliminary findings and who are available for deposition and to serve as potential witnesses at the hearing consistent with Department Rule of Procedure 602, ID AP A 37.01.01.602. Additionally, the Director is requested to make available to the parties copies of all documents relied upon in the preparation of the preliminary findings of fact. Parties may file written responses to the preliminary findings of fact no later than March 5, 2008.

Intent to Remain a Party

Given the passage of thirteen years between when A&B filed its delivery call in 1994 and the Director's order lifting the stay governing the delivery call, parties who wish to participate in this matter must file a notice of intent to participate. The notice of intent to participate must be filed with the Department within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order. Failure to respond affirmatively in writing within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order will be deemed an intent not to continue as a party in this matter.

Box 83720, Boise, Idaho 83720-0098.
