Hi All,
Thanks to all of you who wrote the PSC over the last couple of
months. Your letters worked! Due some of the comments in
those letters and the tireless work of Jarrett, the PSC was alerted to
the fact that the transmission line location made no sense.
Longview said the location on the map was caused by an error in their CAD
overlay, and the PSC has told them they must readvertise the transmission
line application and put the new map in the legal ad.
*** According to the PSC, if no protests are registered within 15 days
after the legal advertisement, Longview could be granted the
permit. *** It starts all over from scratch, and our earlier
letters will not count toward this newest filing.
--- The timing over the holidays will work in their favor, so we
really need your help. ---
I am sorry to ask you to do this again, but as soon as that legal ad
comes out, we need to write protest letters (again). Some of you
may still have your old letter on a computer, and you can just change the
date and send it again when the time comes. For those of you who
wrote them by hand, I am sorry to ask you to write another one, but it is
very important. I would have another pizza/letter-writing party,
but the holidays make that difficult.
I will send out an e mail to this list when the legal ad runs (those of
you who read the paper the day it comes out can let me know - I am always
behind). I'll include a sample letter in that e mail as
well.
Thanks so much for your help. If it weren't for all of you,
Longview would already have started construction on this power
plant.
