CRITICAL UPDATES!
LET’S NOT FORGET – UNITED WE STAND!
ALERT! – Confirmation that route possibilities are Wide Open!
In answer to questions raised about the following statement made by Dominion to the SCC in their July 24th motion:
“…regarding the constructability of the Carver Road Route, or not, and/or proceed with any requests for variations to the Carver Road Route, or reconsideration of alternative noticed routes.”
Delegate Bob Marshall received a response on August 11, 2017 from Legislative Services attorneys in Richmond, which advised:
— All possible transmission line power tower route alternatives and variations for the proposed Haymarket project could be selected by the SCC. These include the 7 route alternatives or variations outlined in the SCC’s Dec. 11, 2015 Notice of Hearing, as well as potentially the 5 additional route alternatives or variations also mapped out by Dominion.
— However, all of western Prince William, including areas not previously designated for power line tower routes, could be open to power tower routes if Dominion were to file a new application, amend the original application, or request the SCC to consider another route. In this instance, notice to affected landowners and publication in a local newspaper would be required.
These are the 12 route alternatives or variations which Dominion put forward for this project over the last 3+ years – but as stated above, anything is possible, everything is open:
I-66 Overhead Route
Walmart Variation to the I-66 Overhead Route
Carver Road Route
Madison Route
I-66 Hybrid Route
Railroad Route
New Road Route – A
New Road Route – B
Northern Route
Western Route – A
Western Route – B
Disputing the alleged “need” for the lines is critical to protecting homeowners and businesses in western Prince William.
A phrase on the Archives Building in Washington, DC is most apt here: “Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty.”
