Hearing set on proposed transmission line through Sullivan County - Mid Hudson News

LOCH SHELDRAKE – At the behest of the Sullivan County Legislature and County Manager Joshua Potosek, the State Public Service Commission has scheduled an October 4 public hearing at SUNY Sullivan regarding a proposed underground electric transmission line.

Called “Clean Path,” the project – if approved by the PSC – would consist of a 178-mile-long, 1,300-megawatt high-voltage direct-current electricity conduit and associated facilities. The line itself would run underground from Delaware County to Queens, following the existing aboveground Marcy South transmission line through Sullivan County.

“Members of the public asked us to request a public hearing be held here in Sullivan County, not just the originally scheduled locations in Delhi, Middletown and Croton-on-Hudson,” said Potosek.

Information about the project process will be presented and questions answered at 1 p.m. on October 4 in the Grossinger Dining Room (Building H, across the lawn from the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse) at SUNY Sullivan, 112 College Road, Loch Sheldrake.

At 1:30 p.m., an administrative law judge will listen to any project-related statements the public would like to give.

The project application may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service’s website, www.dps.ny.gov. To access documents, click on “File Search” (located under the heading “Commission Files”), and enter “22-T-0558” in the “Search by Case Number” field.
