BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY. PENNSYLVANIA
FRANK R. MASCARA, METRO PETROSKY, JR., EDWARD M. PALUSO, COMMISSIONERS
_,. - ..... _. ... ..... ... __ _.....
Commissioner Mascara questioned the status of this project in light of
appeals filed in the Commonwealth Court by Allegheny Ludlum Corporation and Armco,
Inc., as well as West Penn Power Company. Attorney Amidon stated that they don't
intend to close the financing until the matter is settled either through the courts or
a settlement agreement. Attorney Hoeler explained that their contract with West Penn
Power Company requires that there be a final nonappealable order issued by the PUC
before a financial closing is held.
Commissioner Paluso questioned if this appeal is lumped with the appeal also
filed concerning the project in Greene County. Mr. Hoeler explained that they are
separate appeals but some of the issues are the same and for expediency purposes, they
were consolidated for hearing purposes.
Ms. Beharry questioned the need for another public hearing. Attorney Amidon
explained that the TEFRA regulations require that a closing must be held within one
year of the public hearing. Since that time has been exceeded, another public hearing
was required.
Ms. Beharry also questioned the objections filed by Allegheny Ludlum and
Armco. Attorney Hoeler explained his understanding of their objections.
Discussion was held between Commissioner Mascara and Attorney Hoeler relative
to the projected number of construction jobs and permanent jobs related to this
project. They also commented on the process of putting the residual ash back on the
property and combining it with water which would make the site capable to be developed
for further industrial growth.
Ms. Beharry questioned Attorney Hoeler as to the limited partners. Attorney
Hoeler answered that their names North Branch Energy, Inc., and the 980 Corporation,
Inc., which are two Pennsylvania corporate entities; and that North Branch Energy
Partners, L.P., has been filed as a limited partnership using a Delaware address.
There were no other public comments on this project.
There being no further business, Chairman Mascara declared the meeting
adjourned at approximately 11:30 a.m.
