SCC to Hold Public Hearings on the Dominion/Allegheny Transmission Line Proposal 

Winchester Public Hearing 
August 14, 2007 - James Wood High School, Winchester, VA

The public hearing will begin at 9:30am and continue until all comments have been heard.  The Hearing Examiner will take a break for lunch and start up again after lunch if there are still citizens waiting to testify.

From the SCC Press Release:

"Earlier this year, the SCC received the two applications for the proposed 93-mile transmission line project that runs from the Virginia-West Virginia border in Frederick County to a substation in Loudoun County. The western 28-mile segment from the West Virginia border is proposed by Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Company (TrAILCo). The eastern 65-mile segment to Loudoun County is proposed by Dominion Virginia Power and TrAILCo.

The two segments are the eastern end of a proposed 240-mile line that originates in southwestern Pennsylvania and continues through West Virginia to Virginia. In Virginia, the proposed route for the line travels through Frederick, Warren, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties. An alternate route would use Interstate 66 right of way from Warren County to Loudoun County.

The Commission will render a decision on the need for each segment of line. The SCC must also establish appropriate conditions to minimize any adverse environmental impact of each line."
