(NEETNY) proposes to construct and operate an approximately 57-mile 345-kilovolt (kV) overhead single-circuit alternating current (AC) transmission line paralleling an existing 345-kV AC transmission line between the Oakdale Substation in Broome County and the Fraser Substation in Delaware County (Oakdale to Fraser Project or the Project) with an expected in-service date of August 2018. Structures will consist primarily of spun single-pole concrete structures. Where necessary, self-supported structures, steel structures, hybrid concrete/steel structures, or lattice towers will be used. The transmission line route will run from a dead-end structure located at or adjacent to the existing Oakdale Substation to a dead-end structure located at or adjacent to the existing Fraser Substation. The Project area extends from Broome County through Chenango County to Delaware County. Along the route, the transmission line passes through 14 towns: Afton Delhi Masonville Bainbridge Franklin Sidney Barker Greene Union Chenango Hamden Walton Coventry Maine Please refer to Figures 2-1 through 2-3 in this exhibit (maps and aerial photos) for mapping information relating to the Project route rights-of-way (ROWs), interconnecting substations, and adjacent areas. 2.1.1 Proposed Oakdale to Fraser 345-kV Transmission Line From the Oakdale Substation, the transmission line heads generally north for approximately 2 miles before turning east. In 0.3 miles it crosses over Oakland Road, which is NextEra Energy Transmission New York, Inc. 2-1 Exhibit 2: Location of Facilities Oakdale to Fraser Project 0.5 miles north of the Finch Hollow County Nature Center in Broome County. The line continues for 0.5 miles through wooded forest before crossing over East Maine Street and continues in the same direction for about 0.5 miles. It then turns in a more northern direction extending through forested land for 0.4 miles before crossing Airport Road, which has residential houses on both sides of the road. The transmission line continues through agricultural land for 1.5 miles through which it crosses Hayes Road and Upper Stella Ireland Road before turning due east. The Greater Binghamton Airport is approximately 1.9 miles northwest from this turn. The transmission line then extends 0.85 miles east to West Chenango Road, prior to which it crosses Dimmock Hill Road and the Dimmock Hill Golf Course in Binghamton. Saint John’s Pond is 0.6 miles north of the Dimmock Hill Golf Course. The line extends 0.61 miles through agricultural land before turning north. Prior to the turn, there is a pond 0.2 miles southwest of the transmission line. The transmission line then travels 3 miles through forested land and crosses Castle Creek Road (Route 11), Interstate 81, a stream, and Brotzman Road. The remainder of this transmission line section is forested. The line then turns north. After 0.13 miles it passes over East Hill Road. The line extends an additional 0.8 miles from East Hill Road before crossing Mix Road. This stretch is primarily wooded forest with a rural residential community and agricultural land to the east. The transmission line travels 0.5 miles before crossing Knapp Hill Road, and then another 0.4 miles before crossing Parsons Road and an adjacent creek. It then extends an additional 0.3 miles before crossing Route 79 and Conklin Hill Road. For another 0.25 miles the line continues in the same direction before turning southward. In 0.5 miles the line then enters Chenango County and in approximately 0.1 miles crosses Willard Road. It continues another 0.5 mile, turns southward and extends 0.75 miles before crossing Route 12. It continues an additional 0.7 miles before crossing a creek and East River Road. After crossing East River Road, the line passes through a 1.25-mile forested stretch before crossing Squirrel Hill Road. In 0.7 miles, it extends through agricultural land and then crosses over Page Brook Road. It passes 0.5 miles north of the Town of Quinneville, New York. It continues in this direction for another 4 miles, through forested land, before turning northward. Halfway through this stretch the line spans Paddleford Road. For an additional 1.3 miles, the line extends slightly northward, then shifts nearly due east for 2 miles. In this stretch the line runs adjacent to, but outside of, the Beaver Flow State Forest and crosses Route 235. It then turns slightly toward the south and in 2 miles crosses Stone Hill Road and another agricultural area. NextEra Energy Transmission New York, Inc. 2-2 Exhibit 2: Location of Facilities Oakdale to Fraser Project After an additional 0.9 miles, it crosses Blakesley Road and after another 0.6 miles takes a slightly northern turn. In 0.4 miles, the transmission line crosses Long Hill Road and an agricultural residential community to the south. It then continues another 2.4 miles through a forested area crossing over Goodnough Road and Route 41 and Chase Road. The transmission line then shifts slightly south through a forested area crossing Slumptown Road after extending 0.3 miles and then continues almost 1 mile before turning due east for 1.8 miles. Afton Lake is 1.0 miles due south from this part of the line and the Town of Afton is 1.9 miles southwest. The transmission line continues east across Deer Path Lane, which is a residential development, Route 7, a creek containing Balls Island, Senator Warren Anderson Expressway, and Latimer Road. It then shifts north again for 1.9 miles spanning New York State Route 206 and pass- ing through the Town of Bennettsville. The line turns south for 3.4 miles crossing over Neff Hill Road and Houck Road before crossing into Delaware County, New York. It then extends over Route 8 coming close to the town of Masonville, after which it travels nearly due east for 20 miles. Along this 20-mile stretch the transmission line passes over, from east to west, Pine Hill Road, Parker Hollow Road, Masonville Sidney Center Road, Teed Hill Road, a stone quarry, and Cummings Road. The Town of East Masonville is about 0.7 miles north of the line at this point. The transmission line then continues across Clark Road, Pomeroy Corners Road, and then Richardson Hill Road. An unnamed stream runs 0.06 miles east of Richardson Hill Road, perpendicular to the transmission line. There are also two small bodies of water: one to the north of where the transmission line crosses Richardson Hill Road and one to the south. The line con- tinues across Pine Swamp Road, which has a small pond to the east of the road and south of the transmission line. The transmission line crosses Gallop Hill Road and a stone quarry to the south. It then continues across Appaloosa Trail and Walton Sidney Road. Between Gallop Hill Road and Walton Sidney Road is Teed Pond. The transmission line then continues across Beebe Road, which is 0.5 miles north of the town of Northfield. The line continues across White Hill Road, Russell Road, Franklin Walton Road, D’Agostina Road, Palmer Hill Road, Freer Hollow Road, Dunk Hill Spur Road, and Dunk Hill Road. There is an unnamed pond 0.2 miles south of the transmission line and 0.4 miles east of Dunk Hill Road. The transmission line continues east and crosses Fish Hollow Road and then East Brook Road, both of which have creeks to the west. The transmission line continues east and eventually passes Ridge Road, 0.4 miles south of the town of Walton. The transmission line then crosses Cobbe Cross Road before terminating at the Fraser Substation.

  • September 6, 2013 Dear New England
    September 6, 2013 Dear New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers: As you gather for your invitation-only, 37th Annual Conference in La Malbaie this weekend, we, the undersigned groups, individuals and victims, appeal to you to take clear, compelling, and compassionate steps to solve the problems you have created by supporting the deployment of “big wind” in our region. These generation projects create serious, often intractable problems. Those of us who have been forced to live near utility-scale wind projects you have promoted, and the individuals and groups we are working with, have learned through direct experience the consequences of these projects which include: Stressing grid interconnections and transmission lines New England’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) obligations for 2010 were about 14% of demand – an amount satisfied through a combination of existing, qualified resources in New England and renewable energy imported from neighboring New York and Canada. These percentages are slated to reach over 20% by 2020 with most of the energy coming from projects not yet built. Since wind energy is the primary resource proposed to be built in the region, and the resource most favored by you, future RPS obligations will likely be met through the deployment of thousands of new turbines. The ISO-NE's New England Wind Integration Study (NEWIS), published in December 2010 made clear that many favorable sites for wind development are remote from New England's load centers and that development of these distant sites would require significant transmission development. According to NEWIS, developing 20% wind in New England would require 4,095 miles of new lines at an estimated cost of between $11 and $15 billion.

  • Heliography on Thomas Cole
    THE CATSKILL CANISTER Vol. VI, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 3 HELIOGRAPHY ON THOMAS COLE In Vol * V, No * 2, Spring 1972, we proposed an exercise to find out once and for all whether Thomas Cole can be seen from Slide Moun- tain, The plan as proposed was to divide into two parties, one to give signals by mirror and light from Thomas Cole, the other to ob- serve by means of a Wild T 1 theodolite on Slide, The participants on Thomas Cole were Franklin Clark (#33) Leader, Wini Clark, Bill Lawson (#78), Anneliese Lawson (#89), Erika Lawson (#90), Bill Leavitt (#1), Elinore Leavitt (#2), David Clapper, and Ann Clapper (#13). The Slide team consisted of Ed West (#45) Leader, Pro- fessor Samuel Owen, College of Engineering, Rutgers University (aspir- ant), Richard King, class of '74, John Mayer, class of '75 (first Cat- skill peak for both), Wayne Hartman (aspirant), Rickey Brooks (#128), Tommy Brooks (#129) and Jim Brooks (aspirant). We met early on the 16th of September at Maplecrest for last min- ute plans. Prearranged signals called for the Thomas Cole party to stop on the top of Black Dome for "dry runs" with the mirror at 2:00 and 2:30 p.m. Then they were to move quickly to Cole and to flash the signal every half hour from 3:00 to 4:30. Beginning at 7:30 and contin- uing until 9:00, the signals were to be given with a small search- light borrowed from the Shandaken Fire Company,concluding with another "dry run" from Black Dome at 9:30 to check the method.

  • Vol. IV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 1 RHAPSODY in WHITE
    THE C.A.TSICILL CANISTER Vol. IV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 1 RHAPSODY IN WHITE Back in 1869, when summer boarding in Dutchess County was popular among city 'folk, a Poughkeepsie man discovered the mountains across the river, then a pure wilderness * A friend of his entertained him at a makeshift inn on Lake Mohonk, accessible only by a ragged lane, and catering to a few hunters and an occasional naturalist. By a stroke of genius, Alfred H. Smiley, farmer and boarding house host, sensed the possibilities of a unique hostelry, communicated with twin brother Al- bert K. Smiley, a school principal in New York, and opted for purchase of the Mohonk property at $28,000. Coxing Pond, now Lake Minnewaska, was acquired thereafter, witl a few thousand acres thrown in, followed by the addition of Lake Awosting and the surrounding cliffs. A bold financial venture succeeded beyond the expectations of its founders by preserving a contact with an earlier culture which might well be termed the American version of n la belle epoque." There was an atmosphere of peace and serenity about the music rooms and social halls at Mohonk. Well-kept gardens fitted harmoniously into a great natural park, footpaths of easy grade led to rustic bowers, and horse- drawn carriages travelled leisurely along scenic gravel roads. First generation Otis elevators were still in service at the hotels a few years ago, and wood stave pipes with iron hoops are still carrying rivulets of snow meld under the Awosting road. For once, man's struc- tures did not become a discordant part of the landscape.

  • 2009 New York State Open Space Plan
    David A. Paterson, Governor Lead Agencies: The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Alexander B. Grannis, Commissioner The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) Carol Ash, Commissioner Partnering Agencies: The Department of Agriculture & Markets The Department of Transportation The Department of State DEFINITION OF OPEN SPACE Open space is defined as land which is not intensively developed for residential, commercial, industrial or institutional use. Open space can be publicly or privately owned. It includes agricultural and forest land, undeveloped coastal and estuarine lands, undeveloped scenic lands, public parks and preserves. It also includes water bodies such as lakes and bays. What land is defined as open space depends in part on its surroundings. A vacant lot or a small marsh can be open space in a big city. A narrow corridor or pathway for walking or bicycling is open space even though it is surrounded by developed areas. And while not strictly open space, this Plan also discusses cultural and historic resources which, along with open space, are part of the heritage of New York State. June 8, 2009 Dear Fellow New Yorker: I am very pleased to approve the 2009 Final New York State Open Space Conservation Plan, which serves as the blueprint for continuing the State of New York’s great open space conservation legacy. This Plan maintains New York’s longstanding tradition of open space conservation that makes our State a wonderful place to live and attractive to businesses, and it is one of the key elements of our economic competitiveness. The Plan has been developed, pursuant to 1990 legislation, through a grassroots process involving local government officials and citizens as members of Regional Advisory Committees, and an extensive public comment process.
