National Park Service to Evaluate 500kV Transmission Line to Cross Appalachian Trail and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area




Susquehanna to Roseland 500kV Electric Transmission Line
"Pennsylvania Power and Light Electric Utilities (PPL) and Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) have requested a construction and right-of-way (ROW) permit from the National Park Service (NPS) for the expansion of an existing electric transmission line that crosses NPS lands within Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The project is based on direction for electric transmission expansion provided by the Regional Transmission Operator, PJM Interconnection, which oversees the overall movement of wholesale electricity between many electric utilities throughout a 13 state region. The proposed project, the Susquehanna (Berwick, PA) to Roseland (NJ) line, proposes to expand upon an existing ROW which contains a single 230,000 volt (230kV) electric transmission line by replacing the existing towers with new, taller tower structures and adding an additional 500,000 volt (500kV) transmission line. The request would necessitate widening the existing ROW and constructing new access roads. The expanded line and new towers will impact three units of the National Park Service: the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DEWA); the Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River and National Recreation Water Trail; and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT). The NPS is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the permit request."- NPS


DWGNRA sign"The National Park Service is deciding whether to allow the construction of a new 500 kV electric transmission line to cross the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Today (January 21, 2010) it issued its Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a construction and right-of-way permit requested from the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River, and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, in connection with the Susquehanna to Roseland 500kV Transmission Line.

You can view the Federal Register notice here. The public participation and public scoping process under the National Environmental Policy Act commences with the Federal Register publication today. The public can comment on the project's purpose, need, objectives, preliminary alternatives, mitigation and other issues by submitting comments through the NPS project website at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/dewa/.

EAT SKULL


Eat Skull- Jerusalem Mall 7" ep, out now! you can order here or here

new LP in the works!

Track list:

A -1. Jerusalem Mall
B -1. Don’t Leave Me on the Speaker
2. Thank You Smoke Break


"More carnage from Eat Skull this week taking the form of a Woodsist 7" single. A-side 'Jerusalem Mall' is a twisted take on a pre-punk Stooges-esque vision of rock as a possessed and dangerous entity. The fairly formulaic rock groove is bastardized by crazed guitar soloing throughout and makes for a delightfully noisy listen. B-side 'Don't leave me on the speaker' sees the group embracing a shadows-esque structure whilst ramping up the reverb and the saturated guitar solos and final track 'Thank You! Smokebreaks' sounds a little like Thee Oh Sees for a bit before descending into an inexplicable mess of drums, guitars and shouty shouts. With all the info helpfully carved into the leg of a man on the back cover, you'll find this single both clear, informative and easy to navigate....don't forget about the dead kid on the cover....lovely."-Norman Records
