ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. On November 22, 2021, Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op (Presque Isle) filed an application pursuant to Act 69 of 1929, as amended, MCL 460.501 et seq., requesting a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to construct a natural gas service line and to render natural gas service in Xxxxxx Township, Alpena County, Michigan. A prehearing conference was held on April 21, 2022, before Administrative Law Judge Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx. Presque Isle and the Commission Staff participated in the proceeding. Subsequently, the parties submitted a settlement agreement resolving all issues in the case. The Commission has reviewed the settlement agreement and finds that the public interest is adequately represented by the parties who entered into the settlement agreement. The Commission further finds that the settlement agreement is in the public interest, represents a fair and reasonable resolution of the proceeding, and should be approved. The Commission notes that the settlement agreement also addresses compliance with the Michigan Environmental Protection Act, Part 17 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, as amended, MCL 324.101 et seq. (MEPA). While the applicability of MEPA to Act 69 cases is not clear based on existing case law, to the extent MEPA does apply to the present case, the Commission finds that the settlement agreement complies with the provisions of MEPA as any environmental impairment caused by the proposed natural gas main is de minimis and approval of the settlement agreement is consistent with the promotion of public health, safety, and welfare in light of the state’s paramount concern for the protection of its natural resources from pollution, impairment, or destruction.
