American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., is proposing to construct a 138,000 volt power transmission line passing through Thompson, Montville and Huntsburg townships. The proposal is causing much concern on the part of residents due to the locations of the two proposed routes.

ADJUDICATORY HEARING DATE CHANGED

On August 7, 2008, the CARE legal team filed a petition to continue the adjudicatory hearing, i.e., postpone it to a later date. The legal team asked for an immediate ruling. Click here to view the entry on the case docket.

The motion and memorandum in support did the job. On August 14, 2008, Judge Stoneking entered an order that continued the adjudicatory hearing until Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Click here to view the entry on the case docket. It is my understanding that the hearing is expected to last nine days, thus the complete hearing is planned to run from September 16 - 19 and September 22 - 26.

According to the order, the case procedural schedule is now as follows:

Case Status Conference: August 18, 2008
Local Public Hearings: August 27 & 28, 2008
Discovery Completion: August 29, 2008
File Direct Testimony: September 8, 2008
Local Public Hearing: September 10, 2008
File Staff Testimony: September 16, 2008
Adjudicatory Hearing: September 16, 2008

The adjudicatory hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, 180 East Broad Street, 11th floor, Hearing Room F, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793. Click here for a map showing the PUCO building
