NEW route options for Plains and Eastern Clean Line?
August 11th, 2015
Yesterday, I received a missive about the Plains & Eastern Clean Line that was disconcerting to say the least. After all the Comment periods have closed, both DEIS and Section 1222, the DOE now says that based on comments received, there have been changes, and we get this:
Route Variations and Modified Converter Station Siting Areas
Route Variations Project Overview
Route Variations by Regions
Route Variation Sheet Maps
Modified Arkansas Converter Station Alternative Siting Area
Modified Tennessee Converter Station Siting Area
Here’s an example that makes no sense to me — look at the site for the so-called Arkansas Converter Station — it’s surrounded. Does DOE think it can ram through Wildlife Management Areas?
Given all this new information, where’s the announcement of opportunity to review and file DEIS Comments on this?
Given the alterations of routes, are new landowners affected? If so, where’s the announcement of opportunity to review the whole mess and file Section 1222 Comments?
