  • Utah 345 kV Electric Power Line Permit Denied by Willard City on EMF Health and Safety Concerns

    MARSHFIELD, VT--(Marketwire - July 1, 2009) - The Willard City, Utah city council has denied Rocky Mountain Power's (RMP) application for a new 345 kV electric power transmission line. The Council's decision is based on the inability to make the necessary findings that public health, safety and general welfare would not be harmed. Willard City land use ordinances require the city to make specific findings on health before approving a project requiring a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).

    Every city in the path of the 345 kV line must approve a CUP in order to validate the State Certificate of Convenience and Public Necessity. If even one city denies it, city officials believe that the State certificate cannot be considered issued. Now, other cities along the proposed transmission line corridor are assessing whether the permits they have already issued are extinguished.
