EELC is concerned that regulatory authorities are proceeding with large-scale energy projects that not only will have enormous regional environmental impacts but are now unnecessary in light of current energy demands. Further, EELC and its clients are advocating for regulatory authorities to require the best technologies to prevent environmental impacts from existing energy projects in accordance with federal and state law.\u00a0<\/p>

The following are a sample of specific matters that are related to this project:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

EELC has appealed the\u00a0Board of Public Utilities<\/a>\u00a0approval of this proposed transmission line and is awaiting the Appellate Division\u2019s decision. In the interim, EELC is working with\u00a0Earthjustice<\/a>\u00a0to advocate for a reconsideration of the BPU\u2019s approval based on new information about decreased demand requirements.\u00a0<\/p>

EELC and\u00a0Earthjustice<\/a>\u00a0are also challenging related approvals by the\u00a0National Park Service<\/a>\u00a0under the National Environment Policy Act.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
