The Lake Powell Pipeline water boondoggle moved forward in December when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved an environmental review for the 140-mile-long water project.

Public comments, due by February 16, may be submitted online at ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. Comments should reference the proposal’s docket number, P-12966-004.
