Notice Denying Late Intervention;
Renewable Energy Aggregators Inc.
On March 29, 2018, the Commission
issued public notice of Merchant Hydro
Developers LLC’s 1 Declaration of
Intention concerning the proposed
Vandling Drift Reclamation Pump
Storage Project, to be located near the
City of Vandling in Wayne County,
Pennsylvania. The notice established
April 30, 2018, as the deadline to file
motions to intervene.2 On May 14, 2018,
the Delaware Riverkeeper Network
(Delaware Riverkeeper) filed an out-oftime motion to intervene.
In determining whether to grant a late
motion to intervene, the Commission
may consider such factors as whether
the movant had good cause for filing
late; whether the movant’s interest is
adequately represented by other parties
to the proceeding; and whether granting
the intervention might result in
disruption to the proceeding or
prejudice to other parties.3 Movants for

LLC notified the Commission that it had changed
its name to Renewable Energy Aggregators Inc.
2 The Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure provide that, if a filing deadline falls on
a Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or other day when the
Commission is not open for business, the filing
deadline does not end until the close of business
on the next business day. 18 CFR 385.2007(a)(2)
(2017). The filing deadline was 30 days from
issuance of the notice (i.e., April 28, 2018), which
fell on a Saturday, thus the filing deadline was the
close of business on Monday, April 30, 2018.
