He explained the public work shops, conferences and committee hearings that will be held regarding the Irwindale project and that public input is encouraged and important. The applicant has been in the process of making modifications to its original proposal and has received a 70 day extension to May 30, 1986 for the project to be evaluated. He outlined the different local, regional, state and federal agencies and how their policies will be integrated in the C.E.C. licensing.

Mr. Perez stated that intervention is a formal status in this process that allows the intervenor the same legal rights and responsibilities of the applicant, Pacific Waste Management.

West Covina has declared formal intention to oppose the project and Duarte and a private citizen are pending intervenors.
