Education campaign
by Barbara Fallon 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Dear Committee, The energy committee recently had a meeting regarding the Allegheny intervention case. While there are many stages that can be considered "next," one stage that needs leadership is the education campaign. This work has come to the foreground because soon the PSC will be announcing the dates for public hearings. We, of course, want to see as many Sierran members at these county meetings as possible. An education campaign will entail a bulk mailing of bulleted information to Sierra Club members. As we all know, citizens do not have to be living along the power line to have a voice against it. The mailing will also include the dates for the hearings. Is someone willing to take this responsibility on? I and others will assist, of course. As for me I need to stay focused on fundraising!!!! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!

We will likely have until Dec. 5 to file our direct testimony, with evidentiary hearings in January. I recognize that your schedule did not permit participation in October/November, and am writing to inquire if this delay would allow you to serve as an expert witness on behalf of the Sierra Club, West Virginia Chapter. I certainly understand if your schedule is already full, but thought it might be worth asking. Thank you for your time. Jim Kotcon >>> "William V. DePaulo, Esq." <william.depaulo(a)gmail.com> 9/18/2007 10:20 AM >>> The parties at the PSC hearing Friday agreed to the following procedural schedule subject to PSC approval, which is expected. Public comment hearings week(s) of October 8 or 15, 2007 Status hearing and Charleston public comment hearing - November 1, 2007 Deadline for Staff and intervenors' testimony, including rebuttal to TrAILCo's testimony - December 5, 2007, 12:00 p.m. Deadline for propounding discovery - December 12, 2007 Deadline for TrAILCo's rebuttal testimony and other parties' cross-rebuttal of each others' testimony - January 7, 2008, 12:00 p.m. Evidentiary hearing, first phase [everyone's case but TrAILCo] - January 9-11, 14-15, 2008* * Evidentiary hearing, second phase [TrAILCo's case, including oral surrebuttal to evidence adduced in first phase; possibly Staff's witnesses unable to attend first phase] - February 12-15, 19-22, 2008. ** Initial briefs and proposed findings/conclusions - March 10, 2008 Reply briefs - March 21, 2008 In general, TrAILCo has agreed to shorten the time for its responses to discovery 1. Requests should be directed via email to each of rpalmer(a)alleghenypower.com, gdeaver(a)alleghenypower.com, hriddle(a)alleghenypower.com, bmill11(a)alleghenypower.com, ccallas(a)jacksonkelly.com, and pmelick(a)jacksonkelly.com, with the requests in an accompanying document published in Microsoft Word. 2. Requests received before 12:00 p.m. on a business day will be deemed served that day. Requests received thereafter will be deemed served on the subsequent business day. 3. TrAILCo will file and serve its objections within seven calendar days, and its responses within 14 calendar days; provided, that if that day is not a business day, then the time is extended to the subsequent business day. TrAILCo has reserved the right to assert that the sheer quantity of requests or other circumstances preclude this accelerated response protocol, as under standard Commission Rule. TrAILCo has already responded to discovery from the Staff and the WVEUG and expect thats TrAILCo, rather than the other parties, will be the principal server of discovery in the week ending December 7, 2007 Obviously, there is a premium on getting discovery out first. In that regard, however, we need to know what, if any, additional information any expert we retain may need. The expert's testimony will need to be filed by December 5. The status hearing set for November 1 is intended, in part, to deal with any pending discovery disputes, again reinforcing the idea of propounding discovery earlier rather than later. I will begin drafting a data request aimed at a range of financial and environmental issues and will forward it for suggestions. Bill William V.

If the Virginia State Corporation Commission grants a continuance to the VA Staff and hearings are not to be held in VA, it seems to me that the dates the WV Staff proposed for hearings in WV in its Motion of September 11, 2007, will be available. Assuming the VA SCC grants the continuance, do any of the parties have an objection to hearings in WV in the January 9-18 timeframe? Please advise. Thanks Caryn Staff Seeks Delay in Hearing on Proposed Power Line By Sandhya Somashekhar Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, September 21, 2007; Page B06 Virginia utility regulators have asked for more time to study whether Dominion Virginia Power should be allowed to build a high-voltage power line through a 65-mile stretch of rural Northern Virginia. The staff of the State Corporation Commission has asked the commission, which approves power lines, to postpone arguments scheduled for Jan. 14 Dominion's application is "voluminous" and "both complex and novel," according to a four-page staff request released Wednesday. The staff asked that the Richmond hearing be delayed until Feb. 25. In addition, staff members said they want additional time to consider whether a high-voltage line proposed for Maryland would affect whether the Virginia power line is needed. Dominion, which contends that the Virginia line is needed to guard against blackouts, is reviewing the commission staff request, a spokeswoman said. If the commission delays the project for more than a year, the company might be allowed to bypass the state and appeal directly to the federal government under a new federal law. The Piedmont Environmental Council, a nonprofit organization that is leading opposition to the line, said it is pleased with the staff's request. They recognize it's not as simple as the scare tactics of, 'Your lights are going to go out if you don't get this line,' " council spokesman Robert W. Lazaro Jr. said. "It is very significant." The 270-mile, 500-kilovolt transmission line, a joint project of Dominion and Pennsylvania-based Allegheny Power, would carry electricity from coal-fired plants in the Midwest to fast-growing Northern Virginia. Dominion would be in charge of the eastern part of the line, which would begin in Frederick, Va., and end in Loudoun County, slicing through parts of Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Warren and Prince William counties. The estimated cost of that portion of the line is $243 million The other project the commission staff wants to study is a $1.8 billion, 300-mile high-voltage line proposed by Allegheny and American Electric Power. It would start in West Virginia and end in Frederick County, close to the Montgomery County border. Both proposals have provoked an outcry from preservationists and landowners, who worry that the cables and lofty steel towers will mar the landscape and bring down property values. In addition, the environmental council has argued that Virginia does not need the Dominion line. On Monday, the organization published a report that says Dominion and Allegheny misrepresented the data to prop up the case for the line and that they ignored "less costly and less environmentally damaging solutions." In April, Dominion released a report that warned of "significant problems in the system that will require new transmission facilities by 2011." This week, the utility company announced energy conservation initiatives to help meet the growing demand for electricity in Virginia. A hearing examiner for the State Corporation Commission is to decide this fall whether to delay arguments in the case. If the examiner agrees to a delay, anyone who wants to testify Jan. 14 would be allowed to do so. -----Original Message----- From: Short, Caryn Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 10:43 AM To: 'Melick, Phil'; Watkins, Joe Cc: Auville, John; DeHaven, Carrie; Gregg, Billy Jack; Williamson, Derrick; sriggs(a)spilmanlaw.com; rodecker(a)wvdsl.net; bradstephens(a)comptonlawoffices.com; william.depaulo(a)gmail.com; Palmer, Randall B.; Deaver, Gerald R.; Callas, Chris Subject: RE: TrAILCo - PSC Case No. 07-0508-E-CN Staff Witness Information Joe, In accordance with Commissioner McKinney's directive, at the hearing on Friday, I have confirmed that the Staff witnesses will be available for the February hearing dates.

The Staff is willing to work with TrAILCo and any intervenors that have witnesses remaining to be called at the February hearings in order to accommodate the calling of out of town witnesses in an efficient manner. Further it may be appropriate to group the presentation of witnesses by their area of expertise. Please provide this information to the Commission and let me know if they require anything further.

TrAILCo will pay for overnight transcription of proceedings Initial briefs and proposed findings/conclusions - March 10, 2008 Reply briefs - March 21, 2008 The Commission might also wish to reflect in an order TrAILCo's stipulation as to how it would expedite discovery. With the understanding that it will not be asked to do anything more expeditiously, TrAILCo has committed to accelerating its responses to discovery as set forth below. (As stated on Friday, discovery outside this protocol will be addressed pursuant to Commission Rule.) 1. Requests should be directed via email to each of rpalmer(a)alleghenypower.com, gdeaver(a)alleghenypower.com, hriddle(a)alleghenypower.com, bmill11(a)alleghenypower.com, ccallas(a)jacksonkelly.com, and pmelick(a)jacksonkelly.com, with the requests in an accompanying document published in Microsoft Word. 2.

By copy of this correspondence to the lawyers who attended our hearing on Friday, we respectfully reiterate our request that parties propound discovery as soon as they are able. In that regard, TrAILCo's case in chief has been of public record since March 30, and TrAILCo has already responded to discovery from the Staff and the WVEUG. We would expect that TrAILCo, and not the other parties, will be the principal server of discovery in the week ending December 7, 2007 (if the Commission adopts the stipulated schedule above).
