Subject: Gathering Waters Policy Update: Testifying in Stewardship
land/Transmission line case
Greetings on this chilly first day of winter!
I wanted to bring to your attention to a worrisome,
precedent-setting case where a transmission line may be run across
lands protected with Knowles-Nelson Stewardship funds. In Jefferson
County, the American Transmission Company is proposing a transmission
line that would run through the Madison Audubon Society's Faville
Grove Sanctuary. See
the comments I submitted on behalf of Gathering Waters Conservancy
for more information.
The deadline for submitting comments on this case
was recently extended until December 23. The Public Service Commission
will be determining the route of the transmission line as early
as next month. We do not want to see Stewardship lands at Faville
Grove Sanctuary condemned!
If you would like to weigh in on this issue, click
here to go to the PCS website, complete the comment form, and click
submit. You can see all documents and comments by entering 137 CE
121 in the boxes at the bottom of the Public
Service Commission's website.
