SCC APPROVES UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION FOR STAFFORD COUNTY TRANSMISSION LINE!!
RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has approved the underground construction of an experimental 230-kilovolt transmission line by Dominion Virginia Power in Stafford County. The five-mile line will be built on a company-owned right-of-way between Aquia Harbor and a new substation near Garrisonville.
In its order issued on April 8, 2008, the Commission found that the new transmission line is necessary to maintain long-term reliability and to serve the rapidly growing demand for electricity in the Garrisonville area.
To address the cost and visual impact issues, the Commission directed that the Stafford County project serve as a pilot program to assess the cost to build, operate and maintain an XLPE underground cable. An XLPE pilot project will allow cost difference to be recovered through the ratemaking process.

 Dominion will bury Stafford cable
April 9, 2008 12:15 am
BY KAFIA HOSH
A state agency approved the burial of a controversial power line planned in Stafford County. The project was originally designed as an overhead cable connected by steel towers.
But yesterday, the State Corporation Commission approved construction of a double-circuit underground line.
The SCC's decision comes almost two years after Dominion Virginia Power announced its plans to construct the line in Stafford.

Message from Buddy: It is NOT Over- We Need Your Help! |

Hello All,
The end is in sight! I write you this update at the 2 week’s mark before the formal State Corporation Commission (SCC) hearings that will be held in Richmond on July 11. We have come a long way and have made fantastic accomplishments, but our battle is far from over. So many people believe that the battle was won and the undergrounding of the transmission lines is a “done deal.” Unfortunately, undergrounding is only an option before the SCC. Dominion (DVP) prefers placing those archaic 13 story towers through our community, endangering our health, safety, property values, and environment.

Freelance Star Article- Dominion urged to go underground |

Over or under.
It's just a few weeks before the state decides where a controversial power line could be built in Stafford County.
Dominion Virginia Power plans to build the line five miles westward from Aquia Harbour to Mountain View Road.
Its application to the State Corporation Commission includes both overhead and underground proposals.
But the SCC will decide the line's fate after evidentiary hearings in Richmond next month.

Hundreds of Stafford Residents Attend SCC Public Hearings !!! |
|
Stafford County,
I am so proud of you all!
If you made either Public Meeting today (January 25), you likely saw the HUGE crowds. Sheriff deputies turned people away because the rooms were packed. Hundreds of people were not able to get in and speak their minds. As I understand it, Courthouse Road had a 5-mile backup during the evening session. The numbers are not in, but a conservative estimate of 1800 people were able to attend, or were turned away at the doors. Way to go!
