Recommended Talking Points
- The National Parks Service does not care about private property or the actual need of the line, only the public land in the park!Â
- While no power line would be the most preferable, that National Park Service will not perform a full investigation of the line itself.Â
- Under the NIETC act, the government can take your land for this power line, but they CANNOT take State or Federal lands using eminent domain
- If a full investigation is not possible, we believe issuing the permit for Route B is the best course.

This is utterly ridiculous. We are talking about 4 miles of land thru the park, which already has towers on it.
All PPL is going to do is widen the lane and add larger towers. This should be a no brainer and really, it makes me think the park is looking for something from PPL otherwise, why are they holding them hostage over 4 miles of property, of which PPL already has the right-of-way.
As residents of Lehigh Twshp., proposed Route C is literally in our
backyard, going through part of Woodstone Golf Club. We have spent the
past 25 yrs. in this tranquil country setting & the past 10 yrs.
fighting to keep it that way. PPL is just the latest in a string of
organizations that have tried to taint our beautiful township.
While no power line would be most preferable, we feel that Route B would
be the least invasive. We know the NPS is concerned about the habitat
of wildlife, but more importantly the habitat of human beings is at risk
with the other proposed lines.
We believe the best course of action is to allow the Route B line to
proceed through the park along the existing route. PPL has stated they
will take extra precautions to preserve the environment.
