Hearing Planned For Pump Storage EIS

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will hold a public hearing in early May on the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Goldendale Energy Storage Project.  Rye Development and project owner Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners say the $2 billion Goldendale Energy Storage Project will create 3,000 green jobs over a three-year construction period.  It would also contribute $14 million annually in tax revenue to Klickitat County.  The public hearing will take place on May 3 at the Goldendale Grange Hall in two sessions:  from 10 a.m. to noon and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.  FERC will also be taking written comments at its website through June 6.
