We recognize the importance of environmental stewardship and have great trust and respect for the
diligent work and review state officials have conducted over the past year and a half. We strongly support
their decision to approve the project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mission is to facilitate energyrelated permits as a national objective and prioritize those applications. With this mission in mind, we
urge you act expeditiously to execute the regulatory review process that was in place when this project
began.
Sincerely,
Terry E. Branstad
Governor of Iowa
