The public weighed in on the draft Suncor water quality permit during the initial and responsive comment periods. Now, you can provide feedback during the rebuttal comment period. This is a thirty-day period where you can address (rebut) others’ responsive comments. All comments will be recorded and the division will respond to all comments.

The division is accepting feedback during Suncor’s water quality permit rebuttal comment period through Thursday, May 26, 2022.
