PSC Comment window opens!
This is stage is critical in the regulatory process. During scoping, the public helps determine what environmental, community, and property impacts the state must study before any decision is made. At this point no route has been approved, no construction has been authorized. The PSC is deciding what impacts must be studied in the EIS, or Environmental Impact Statement. Issues raised now shape the entire review going forward.
You do not have to wait for public meetings to make your voice heard.
Written scoping comments may be submitted now until February 6th.

PSC Environmental Review Coordinator – Docket 137-CE-221
Andrew Craft
Public Service Commission of Wisconsin
P.O. Box 7854
Madison, WI 53707-7854
What Should Comments Address?
The PSC encourages comments on:
Environmental impacts (wetlands, waterways, wildlife, forests)
Human and property impacts (homes, farms, land use, property values)
Route-specific concerns
Alternatives and mitigation measures
Coalition Focus
While each letter should reflect personal concerns, a common theme is critical:
The Environmental Impact Statement should fully evaluate the use of pre-existing high power transmission corridors (as opposed to expanding home service corridors to high power) or the Alternative Route, rather than creating new greenfield corridors.
Letters previously sent to ATC may also be reused and submitted to the PSC during this scoping period.
