A copy of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant specified in the particular application. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.

k. Description of Proposal: The licensee requests approval of 29 slips and 12 wave runners to accommodate the Stoneridge residential development.
