Many of you have reported receiving a letter from PPL this week or seeing an article in the Morning Call regarding the Susquehanna-Roseland Power Line. While the Pennsylvania Utilities Commission and the NJ Board of Public Utilities have approved the line, the National Park Service has decided to re-examine all routes again because Route B runs through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
Â
The park already contains a utility line, previously approved by Congress decades ago, but would require expanding the right of way and installing some access roads. PPL still believes the most effective route for the power line is Route B.
Â
The board will be meeting shortly to discuss our next steps. It will most likely involve a letter writing or email campaign. Please look for another email in the coming days.
