Subject: [EC] Fwd: [WVaPATH] Zoning exception denied in MD for PATH substation

In case you have not heard.  JBK

Last night, the Frederick County, MD Board of Zoning Appeals _denied_ a
special zoning exception that would have allowed the construction of the
huge Kemptown Substation at the eastern end of PATH.

This is a serious setback for PATH.  Allegheny will no doubt go to state
court to fight this.  The MD PSC has already claimed sole authority to
site the substation in Frederick County, although state law may not let
them do that.  There will clearly be a major court fight pitting the
Frederick County Commission against AEP/Allegheny and the MD PSC.  This
will cause serious problems for PATH in MD.
