In 2023, our organization joined Cuffs Run Alliance, Farm & Natural Lands Trust of York County, Lancaster Conservancy, and Susquehanna National Heritage Area in opposition to this proposed project.
Throughout the summer we worked together to get the message out to the public. “There are many concerns we share regarding water usage, impacts to aquatic life and water quality,” Ted Evgeniadis, Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper. “The proposed project is not one which is suitable for this area along the Lower Susquehanna River. The same project has been proposed before and has never been permitted. Nothing has changed, and this attempt to destroy our landscape for private profits should be thrown out once again.”
We launched an email campaign with our partner organizations that allowed the public to sign our letter or write their own comments. Our request resulted in 724 letters signed by the public expressing opposition to this proposed project, which we sent to York Energy Storage and then submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as they reviewed the preliminary permit application.
