The public meetings are designed to provide you with more detailed information and another opportunity to offer your comments on the proposed projects. Central New York and Tennessee representatives will be present at the scoping meetings to describe their proposal. A transcript of each meeting will be made so that your comments will be accurately recorded. On the dates of the meetings, we will also be conducting limited site visits to the project areas. Anyone interested in participating in the site visit may contact the Commission's Office of External Affairs identified at the end of this notice for more details and must provide their own transportation.
Intervenors play a more formal role in the process.
Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors. Likewise, each intervenor must provide 14 copies of its filings to the Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. Affected landowners and parties with environmental concerns may be granted intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your environmental comments considered.
