Scoping meetings start TODAY!
Above – That’s the CapX 2020 Hampton to Alma line as proposed.
Today is the start of the CapX 2020 transmission project’s “Hampton-Alma” line scoping meetings.
What are “scoping meetings” for? The purpose is to get comments from US THE PEOPLE about what all should be considered in the Environmental Impact Statement. SO, to be on point here, you need to bring up specific issues to be considered, and ones that fall within the criteria the PUC will use for their decision, which does include just about everything.
