New Book Out Tomorrow: DEEP STATE Trump, The FBI and The Rule of Law

"Deep State" goes where others cannot, revealing the truth of the grand and world-changing struggle that has defined the Trump presidency.
"From bestselling author James Stewart, the definitive story of the war between President Trump and America’s principal law enforcement agencies, answering the questions that the Mueller report couldn’t – or wouldn’t . . .


The stakes could not be higher: the rule of law itself, the foundation of the American constitution and Anglo-American democracy for centuries. In this epic battle, there is no room for compromise. There can only be winners and losers, to invoke a distinctly Trumpian view of the world. But there is plenty of room for collateral damage. The reputations of both sides have already been harmed, perhaps irrevocably, and at great cost to American democracy and its institution.
Drawing on scores of interviews with key FBI, Justice Department, and White House officials, and voluminous transcripts, notes, and internal reports, Stewart tells the dramatic saga of the FBI and its simultaneous investigations of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump – the first time in American history the FBI has been thrust into the middle of both parties’ campaigns for the Presidency. . .

NOTICE OF 30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: City of Mesa Renewal Permit For Proposed Discharge Of Pollutants Into Waters of The United States

The City of Mesa has applied for a renewal AZPDES permit for the proposed discharge of up to 30 million gallons per day (mgd) of treated domestic wastewater from the Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant . . .
ADEQ proposes to issue an Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) renewal permit to discharge pollutants to Waters of the United States to the following applicant, subject to certain effluent limitations and special conditions . . .

Information from the official city website 

Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant (GWRP)

Located in Gilbert, this facility is a 16-million gallon per day water reclamation plant that treats sewage from southeast Mesa, the southeast portion of the Town of Gilbert, and all of the Town of Queen Creek. This treated water is pumped directly to Gilbert's recharge facilities and to the Gila River Indian Community through an intergovernmental agreement for beneficial reuses on agriculture. The GWRP is undergoing expansion to increase Mesa's capacity of the existing plant by 10 million gallons per day.
______________________________________________________________

BLOGGER NOTE: According to this report 

"The Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant will undergo a $48 million expansion project to increase capacity and provide increased wastewater treatment services for Mesa and Gilbert. Mesa, Gilbert and Queen Creek share ownership of the plant, which began as a lift station in 1999. The facility later underwent a Phase II conversion to a reclamation plant.

The current project is part of the facility’s Phase III expansion and will increase the plant’s capacity by 14 million gallons to 30 million gallons of liquids per day. Ten million of those gallons are allotted to Mesa and 4 million are allotted to Gilbert.

“This expansion will help Mesa by supporting development and economic growth in South Mesa,” Mesa Water Resources Department spokeswoman Kathy MacDonald said via email.

The plant, in Gilbert, provides treated wastewater to the southeast portions of Gilbert and Mesa and all of Queen Creek. That water is used for golf courses, crop irrigation, greenbelt irrigation and recharging groundwater supplies.

________________________________________________

PHASE III 
The total Phase III expansion cost is pegged at just over $215
and is expected to complete in the summer of 2020.

• "A new hotel in northeast Mesa is about to rise in an area which developers say has not received enough attention – until now. . . "
• 
• “Look around, do a 360 assessment of this piece of dirt.

“This was absolutely a community outreach. We spent months and months reaching out and understanding the demands of the Falcon District. We read your comments on Nextdoor about finding hospitality options for relatives,” Green said.

Mesa Councilmember David Luna, who represents District 5 that includes the Falcon Airport area where the hotel will be located, said residents have been asking for a hotel for “years and years” and that he is excited to see one finally come to the area.

“I know that residents who live at Las Sendas, as well as Red Mountain Ranch, and throughout District 5, are truly excited about this wonderful hotel,” he said. 

Giles said the hotel will be in the “perfect location because of its proximity to one of the largest employers in Mesa, The Boeing Company. 

“Boeing has been begging for this for decades,” 
Giles said.
