I have recieved a responce from one of the Ohio Senate Senator aids that are on the JCARR board. Below is the responce for FYI. As I collect more info on this I will pass it along.

Hi, Mr. Amon -- We appreciate your concerns with the recent rule filed by ODNR. I have taken the liberty of contacting JCARR on this issue and the Director said that the emergency rule was effective on 1-6-11. The rule is effective for 90-days, but the department has to file a rule that goes through the regular process -- through JCARR. However, with the change in administration, many thinigs could happen. First, the department could conceivably file a much less objectionable rule or file no rule and not enforce the rule; we're not sure if Governor Kasich could issue an executive order overriding the Strickland order or do something other than that. It is too soon to know (or guess) what might happen with this situation, but I really think this is not the end of the story....

Attached are the pertinent documents.

If you have further questions, please feel free to let me know. I will make sure Senator Gillmor receives your email.

Sincerely,

Becki
