ConocoPhillips has filed its response to the appeal filed with ITD on Monday on a hearing officer's ruling upholding the issuance of ITD permits to Conoco for four megaloads of oil refinery equipment to travel U.S. Highway 12 from Lewiston to Billings, Mont. "The delays must end," Conoco wrote in its response. "ConocoPhillips needs to get two coke drums to Billings to make much needed repairs to its refinery." The company argues in its response that the process worked properly and opponents had the burden of proof to show it didn't; it writes, "It is undisputed that ConocoPhillips and its transporter, Emmert International, have satisfied every requirement and have addressed every question posed by ITD."
