Tell the LIPA board that residents must be adequately notified before PSEG installs new overhead wires and utility poles! LIPA Board of Trustees Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Policy for the Evaluation of Underground Facilities and Public Outreach Prior to Construction of Major Projects Interested members of the public are invited to submit comments on the draft policy to the LIPA Board of Trustees by Wednesday, September 20 Via email at boardoftrustees@lipower.org Or by mail to Attn: Board Undergrounding Policy 333 Earle Ovington Boulevard, Suite 403 Uniondale, NY 11553. The Board of Trustees expects to consider such comments at its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, September 27, 2017. LIPA’s construction of transmission and distribution facilities must comply with criteria in several statutes and regulations. The proposed policy supplements existing practices and is intended to guide decision-making related to: (i) the evaluation of system-wide benefits and costs for underground construction of projects where such benefits may exceed their costs, (ii) public outreach prior to construction of major projects, and (iii) accommodating local preferences for underground construction if constructed with local funding.
