How will affected property owners be notified?
There are different requirements in each state. In West Virginia, all property owners within 1,000 feet of either side of the 200-foot right-of-way (2,200-foot total corridor) will be notified by first class mail shortly after the PSC issues an order directing notification. In Pennsylvania, all property owners within 500 feet of either side of the 200-foot right-of-way (1,200-foot corridor) will be notified via registered or certified mail sent at the time the filing is made with the PUC. In Virginia, all property owners within ¼ mile of either side of the right of way (more than ½ mile total corridor) will be notified when the SCC issues an order directing notification. Additionally, in Virginia not only will Allegheny notify landowners along the proposed route, but also along the “viable” alternate routes, which will be identified in the filing with the SCC.
