Comments: I'm originally from FayetteviIIe but currently live in Louisiana. I would like to ask that the land surrounding this building not be disturbed. It is such a beautiful place to visit, been to many weddings and events in this area and would hate to see that destroyed. Thanks, Allison Crane

Comments: Cutting down the Thorncrown Chapel and the surrounding wooded area would only serve to demonstrate a carelessness and lack of creativity that the pubIic will not soon forget. It's time for Southwestern Electric to realize that most of us know better than to value efficacy over sustainable solutions.

Comments: Please, please take care of the beautiful chapel you have in the woods in your state. It is good and pure and should be protected. It’s on my Placed To Go list because it is so lovely and tranquil. It would be such a shame for its area to be destroyed.

Comments: I have been to this mazing chapel. What a travesty should a high electric wire go through the beautiful Arkansas woads at this point. Please go visit this chapel yourself and you will agree that re-routing the Iine is the only solution.

This is a scenic and architectural treasure in our region, and should not be disrupted or permanently devalued by the construction of unsightly power lines and all the other ramifications of development around this pristine natural area. Thorncrown is an architecturaljewel of the Ozarks and brings in tourists and visitors from across the country - its prominence is irreplaceable and the beauty of the site invaluable. Please deny this application and preserve a unique piece of Arkansas history and natural beauty. 1 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 1:59:46 PM from: D.

Fay Jones, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. A stunning glass and steel structure surrounded by a thick patch of trees, the chapel has become a beloved architectural monument for the local community architecture enthusiasts across the world. While going through architectural school, I studied and admired Thorncrown Chapel for it's structural design, but more importantly the relationship to the site. I would recommend routing the 3345 KV transmission line around the Thorncrown property to preserve its landscape and be able to maintain the notoriety and keep Arkansas on the map for architects around the world.

The environmental and aesthetic impact of such placement would be destructive to the Thorncrown Chapel and its surrounding area. It is also completely unncessary. I understand that Southwest Power believes the line is needed; however, with acres to work with away from the chapel, it is entirely feasible to place it out of sight of the chapel and its surrounding area. Thorncrown chapel is non- denominational and is an extremely unique building with sweeping views in all directions of the surrounding Ozark habitat and is beloved by the public. Its Architect, E. Fay Jones, specifically asked that no construction element in that area be larger than what two people could carry through the woods by hand. Please take into consideration the will of the people who live both in and outside the area and cherish the Chapel and it's natural setting. Please use an alternative placement for the lines. Choosing to do differently will only prove, once again, to an already weary American public that they have no voice and that our sacred spaces mean nothing to big business.

If you put the power lines in, everyone will talk about Arkansas's stupidity from henceforth when they visit this tourist attraction. Or worse, they will stop visiting.

The proposed power line that would cut through the woods next to the Thorncrown Chapel, barging into the forest serenity with its structure and noise, would essentially destroy this national treasure, just as surely as if you took sledgehammer and bulldozer to the delicate structure. Please, if there is any way a compromise could be reached between these two necessities, I beg you to find it! (Perhaps by using one of the alternate routes under consideration?) True beauty and majesty are disappearing from out world at such a rapid pace that sometimes it seems as though our great-grandchildren, when they twn on their lights and look out their windows, will have nothing beautiful to see. 5 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form < [email protected] > iiW.PU3tE 5ERV, COHM Sent: Tuesday, May 07,2013 2:16 PM -* To: socmaster $;:rg'F_TfjRyQF cc;'.'

If the chapel is spared then I pledge a pilgimage to the chapel and a stay in the lovely state of Arkansas. 2 From: Online Comment Form [email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 07,2013 1:38 PM To: socmaster Subject: Online Public Comment for Docket: 13-0414 Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 1:37:37 PM from: Max Dana 82 Clinton Avenue #3 Brooklyn, New York 11205 3476337248 rnch63gmail.com IP Address: 38.88.151.98 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13 -04 1-U IN THE MA7TER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPE‘RATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE WIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: I can’t believe anyone would deforest the area around Thorncrown Chapel in order to run power transmission lines. It is a rare gem and I would come to Arkansas just to see it. You should protect the area around this site so that future generations may enjoy it. I think there is enough intelligence at both Southwestern Electric and at the Public Service Commission to find an elegant solution to this that addresses both the needs of the business and the public. 1 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-u IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Please reroute the powerline.

Surely you can find a less intrusive path and respect the existing structure and it’s original intention of providing this chapel for all who visit with the undisturbed natural views surrounding Thorncrown. Please reconsider this proposal and look for the alternative path and solutions which grant respect to all who have or will benefit from this chapel. Respectfully objecting, Rev. Roger L.

I recently read about the Thorncrown Chapel, via Colossal (http://www.thisiscolossal.coml2O1 3/05/tharncrown-chapel-under-threat/).I felt I should write to you not because I am an artist, though I am,which is why I am normally inspired to visit the Colossal website. Not because I am a lover of design, though I am,and this building is absolutely remarkable! Not even because I want to visit the Thorncrown Chapel and surrounding Ozark Habitat one day, though I do. I am writing my appeal for the proposed transmission line because I am greatly saddened by the increase in profit over nature. Examples can easily be found: The Amazon, previously untouchable, has been clearcut, flooded, and otherwise tampered with. The Boreal forest in Canada is under constant threat from businesses and law makers who are not interested in preserving it. These are merely off the top of my head, though I know there are many more. My plea is this: there is no undo button for our planet. Please, please, use your role as leaders to make the right decision, to look ahead to the long-term effects this will have on that area of the woods and all those who frequent it. I live in the greater Vancouver area of BC and it has come to this: I remark each time I see greenspace, because there is so little of it left here. Please don't do the same thing where you live; preserve what you have! Please oppose the destruction, in whole or in part, of the Ozark habitat. Please do not accept the application for power transmissian through that area, thank you Ashley Gagnon 7 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form Public Comments submitted far Docket: 13-04 I-U TN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATlBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHTPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Could the power company bury the lines or build them farther away from the chapel?

To disturb the property will not only cause an unnecessary disruption to the property’senvironment, but is highly disrespectful to the spirit of the architectural design.

Do you think that just because this intensely beautiful chapel is close by you in Arkansas that it isn't something to hold dear, to cherish, to treasure, to PROTECT for all the world to enjoy? We live in a global society. Everyone who comes to and sees the chapel is struck by its beauty and serenity which is only achieved by the amazing tree canopy. How dare you think of disturbing that.

This chapel is one of the few architectural pieces of its kind - truly in harmony With the nature around it. We went there as architecture students at Washington University in St. Louis, and all of use were greatly impressed by the setting. The architecture of the chapel cannot be fully understood without this setting. It would be a great loss to America's stock of truly sustainable architecture if it's natural setting were further compromised.

Its amazing architecture can only be perceived in harmony with the surrounding nature. An ugly power line cutting through the woods nearby, in view of the Chapel, would destroy this harmony. In addition, the monetary value that tourism to the Chapel brings to the area would be jeopardized. Do we want to be known as a state that doesn't value its cultural and artistic heritage? I think the answer is clearly NO. Surely there must be an alternative solution to the power line that doesn't involve damaging one of the top tourism attractions in the state. 9 Kristi Rhude Aht:, $UBW 5tKV.

Isn't there enough ugliness in the world already. Leave the forest alone and find another way to get your job done - aren't those lines going to be obsolete soon anyway. Bury them somewhere where they won't be seen and leave the beautiful that we have alone.

Though admittedly I have not been to Arkansas, this chapel has always intrigued me and is one of the places on my list of things to see when I do go there. The architect's philosophy when he built it was to put it on an isolated piece of land where people had not touched the environment surrounding the space. If the transmission line is rur~in an area that is close to the chapel, it will detract from the value and the feeling of the place. I urge you to keep this place and the surrounding area intact.

Having lived around the world and now settled in Oregon I have always attempted to bend the stereotype of Arkansas and give the true account of the immense diversity of the state, from its diverse communities (I grew up in Pine Bluff), to how its people value its natural resources. This monument to art and nature is symbolic of how the state will preserve both for the future. I consider the people of the state of Arkansas to be forthright, courageous and wise. The kind of people that will not let big corporations tell them what to do ...I'm holding out hope for the Mayflower debacle. This icon to the nafxral world puts Arkansas on the map and is in keeping with our states values.

To execute this project, just to power more short-term profitable development, will eventually drive the area to be nothing more than a worthless landscape of suburban development and subdivisions, where people will eventually want to leave because the original draw of living somewhere picturesque has been destroyed by shortsightedness. Thorncrown Chapel draws thousands of visitors to the mea for both tourism and weddings in a desirable and beautiful setting. To devalue that by running these lines is to add to the eventual demise of the draw of this area, Perhaps a better plan would be to run the lines from a different direction or different manner, less invasive to the aesthetics that define this part of Arkansas. Or maybe take a step forward and invest in a renewable energy source closer to the desired end-location. Not only would that put SWEPCO in good standing with the environment, but also with the locals and non-locals who cherish the area as is. 4 Kristi Rhude From: Online Comment Form --A :-??ZT&RY DlF(P.YP::, -I-' Sent: Tuesday, May 07,20131093 AM To: socmaster Subject: Online Public Comment for Docket: 13-041-U Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 10:13:28 AM from: John Jasso 40 Builtmore troy, Michigan 48084 248 269-0236 wpsacstudio@,nmail.corn XP Address: 76.1 12.225.1BO Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-U IN THE MATER OF TWE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHlPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Please don't.

I've always had a special place in my heart for this unique and wonderous manmade creation. It's a rare, shining example of architecture that's in tune with the nature surrounding it, and for many people like me, it's as close to feeling at home and at peace in a church as we've ever come. Permitting SWEPCO to build transmission lines so close to this sacred, beautifid place wouldn't just destroy the landscape around the chapel. It would also be a slap in the face to all that the church and its builder stood for. It would disrespect the original intent, and for many like me, would tarnish the experiences and memories I cherish. Finding God in everyday life is difficult in today's world, and this is one of those rare, peaceful, manmade places on earth where it's still possible. Please do not allow SWEPCO to ruin this beautiful place! 19 Kristi Rhude :, #frm P.MLK0 3 EW- From: Online Comment Form Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 9:54:36 AM from: Alex Chino-Hurt 2035 SE Stone Corvallis, Oregon 97333 7039466 160 alex.cimino.hurt~mail.com IP Address: 128.193S2.84 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: With regards to placing a power line near the "horncrown Chapel, please don't. There are numerous paths to send power lines but fewer and fewer uninterrupted views that warrant as much protection as this one does. Electric power Will always be an issue that is prioritized in our country because of how important it is for our economic, energy, and national security but don't let this be just one more in a long line of decisions that is slowly but surely breaking apart the serene spaces in this country. And if this doesn't serve as sufficient rationale, simply consider how often you see a view of nature uninterrupted by human devices and do your best to minimize the impact of this decision.

Big money is draining our resources and our souls!! "Arkansas:It's a Natural." Remember that phrase? My family has enjoyed the splendor of this region of Arkansas many times. This news sickens me. I myself am about to lose my waterfront via a massive pipeline sending 150 million gallons of water per day to Dallas. Plus, a huge timeshare resort will soon be flowing their aerobic sewer effluent into the lake as well.

Preservation of this precious structure's opportunity to worship and commune with the Creator in this beautiful setting should be of the highest priority, as it was built with the purpose of creating harmony between the natural world and humanity, free from the produce of human hands other than itself. I would consider this as important as the preservation of national parks or any other testament to the Creation itself, in that within its natural setting, man, in a community setting, can still soak in the presence of the Almighty without the constraint of commercial invasion. Thank you for your time and consideration. Regards, David Chapman Rose Ministries 23 From: Online Comment Form [email protected]> --oyOF f-$?!

It is my understanding that the proposed power line construction zone abuts the site of Thorncrown Chapel. I am opposed to any power line construction that would impact the visual integrity of this architecturally and historically significant building and grounds, I‘m not an Arkansan, but I think the Chapel is of such architectural importance that we all have an interest in preserving this treasure.

Thorncrown is a tourist destination, and architectural beauty that should not be jeopardized in any way. Part of the beauty of the chapel is it incorporates its surrounding Nature scape into what it is. Putting a high voltage line within that, damages the economy of Eureka Springs which basis its economy on Art Destinations and Weddings. The base of the matter is that Thorncrown Chapel is a treasure to the State of Arkansas and should not be diminished in any way. 5 Kristi Rhude , ?%. puBtlC SEW ernrr From: Online Comment Form Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13 -04 1-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF UTHWESTERN ELECTR C POWER COMPA ry FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Please do not build this so close to Fay Jones' Thorncrown Chapel.

The Thorncrown Chapel is one of the crowning examples of organic architecture, a philosophy credited to Frank Lloyd Wright, one of America's most well known and respected architects. The general philosophy promotes the idea of harmony between the natural world and human habitation, something particularly poignant in this time where gIobaI warming is a generally accepted environmental tragedy. Over a decade ago in 2000, the Thorncrown Chapel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2006 it was awarded the AIA 25 Year Award. The application to build a 48-mile high voltage transmission line through Northwest Arkansas is proposing to cut through the woods right next to the chapel, This will shatter the views and serenity offered by this unique place of worship.

How can this even be a consideration? There are many other ways to get electrical conduit to where it needs to go without having to tamper with the area within view of the chapel. Choose that becuase it is in the interest of preservation -even if SWEPCO needs to spend a couple more dollars on wire and poles! 4 ,, ~, ._... - . --I P’ , ‘.V From: 5 ;‘,‘,‘,y Online Comment Form Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Sometimes progress isn’t worth destroying what we can’t replace. Thorncrown Chapel is a jewel. I’ve sat in the chapel and it’s truly transcendent. A gift of creative genius that reflects, although dimly, our Creator. The beauty of the surrounding landscape is as much a part of the experience of Thorncrown as the architecture it is in harmony with. The power lines would more than likely destroy that harmony. We can do better. We can protect what we can’t replace. Please consider alternative locations for the power lines. Take care I Allen Weaver Go Hogs. 5 From: Online Corn ment Form -C letsgogetsometacos@gmeit,rm:-~+~-r~ ..

From what I read in the article it sounds like a prime opportunity to have the chapel moved to an even more scenic location in the Ozarks, and if the power company could be lobbied to finance the operation in the name of preserving a historic public artifact it would be free. of cost. The move could even serve as a temporary aid to the local unemployed population, who can be hired for the simple labor of transporting the building to it's new home. 8 From: Online Corn ment Form < lisaanndavenport@gmail,cqmT~~ + 'F, -"I4 { 2; ~[lY,F.

As a long-time resident of Texas, I have missed the beauty of Arkansas a lot. One thing that has gotten me through the bleakness of living in Texas is the knowledge that my beloved Arkansas is still there and still beautifid. I have great memories of a Fall wedding in the Thorncrown Chapel. It's a special place, a national treasure if you will. I can truly believe that the beauty of Arkansas is unrivaled and must be protected, as it is one of our greatest assets that can't be replaced or recreated. The peace and tranquility of that location must be protected at whatever cost. Giant power lines would destroy this place. 14 .- From: Online Comment Form Public Comment made on 5/7/2013 10:47:29 AM from: Robin Doughty 24 Sunset Ave. Chelmsford, Massachusetts 01 824 5 85-727-6290 rldouphty0,m ail.com IP Address: 129.63.195.28 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-04 1-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: Please maintain the integrity of the Thorncrown Chapel, Historic Site, by NOT approving construction of the proposed power line in the vicinity of this historic site. 6 Kristi Rhude 8-A pQ8LlC stRV.

Each of the lines proposed defies common sense and human justice. Examples of this fiasco include one route that goes across Dunnagan's farm at the Pea Ridge Battleground, and my own proposed line 91 which besides having its right of way 75 feet from my deck, would mar the view from historic Spring St. before damaging the experience of Thorncrown Chapel. Lines going into Bentonville damage a wonderful bike trail and destroy over half a billion dollars in real estate investment, SWEPCO believes they can get away with anythmg, and do whatever they want with impunity. There is no proposed line in this project that any of us should find acceptable. This whole project should be shoved back to the drawing board, and SWEPCO should be brought down to earth to actually examine what they've pIanned to destroy. My own hope is that this project becomes st public relations nightmare for the directors of SWEPCO and AEP. I urge SWEPCO customers to make your own feelings known. 14 From: Online Comment Form Public Comment made on 5/6/2013 9:07:55 PM from: Dr. N.S.

It has long been a favorite attraction for the area. I am proud that it is in Northwest Arkansas-so much so that my husband and I chose it as the place for our wedding back in 1986. It is not just the building itself, but the setting that is picture perfect. We have so few truly beautiful mixes of nature and architecture, I think we have to do all we can to preserve the ones we do have. 22 ______- _c From: Online Comment Form Public Comment made on 5/6/2013 7:27:35 PM from: Holly Boyd 291 0 Mimosa Drive Newport, Arkansas 72 1 12 8702179337 ylloh.star@,mail.com IP Address: 173.2 16.209.165 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-U IN THE MAITER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHlPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: SAVE THE CHAPEL 23 --- From: Online Comment Form Public Comment made on 5/6/2013 7:16:25 PM from: Carole Day 14 Emanuel Drive Hot Springs Village, Arkansas 7 1909 501-91 5-9208 [email protected] IP Address: 108.86.41.138 Public Comments submitted for Docket: 13-041-U IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY AND PUBLIC NEED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED 345 KV TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE SHIPE ROAD STATION AND THE PROPOSED KINGS RIVER STATION AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES TO BE LOCATED IN BENTON, CARROLL AND/OR MADISON AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, ARKANSAS Comments: The are surrounding Thorncrown Chapel must be preserved. 24 --- From: --, ry--)py ,-; !-I>',?!
