CLEAR members and friends......
The Cheat Lake Park and Trail "recreation
plan" receives a special review every three years; and Allegheny Energy has just
released the review document for comment for 2006 this past
week. I will find out a.s.a.p. if we can get an electronic version
of at least the main text, so we can email it to all our
readers.
And, we will request a public meeting near the
Lake so all interested
persons can attend, hear a presentation by each
interested group,
ask questions of Allegheny Energy, and receive
comment from the
general public.
I am going to submit a protest, that the reply
to the last three year review was too late in being issued by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission. And, when it was issued, it was held for months by
AE before revealing it to the public.
As soon as we get an electronic version out to
our readers and the review has been studied, we can circulate some comments and
feedback via
email. It is important that letters be
written to Allegheny Energy reasonably soon, to request a public hearing with
presentations and discussion, and that we get the issues out for public
awareness.
Thank you Peggy for your email; and, I suspect
that you will be part of
the letter writing and discussion of this
"recreation plan".
Sincerely, Duane Nichols,
CLEAR.

[The report is about 5 megabytes in size, and contains some 70
pages;
so it will be almost unrealistic to read in this form unless you
have broadband Internet.]
