WHEREAS, thousands of residential, commercial and industrial customers of Appalachian Power Company, d/b/a American Electric Power ("AEP") in Roanoke County, Virginia rely upon AEP to supply their electricity needs economically and reliably; and WHEREAS, the availability of reliable and reasonably priced electricity is essential to the social and economic well being of the citizens, businesses and industries of the County, as well as other areas served by AEP; and WHEREAS, beginning in 1990, and in applications filed on September 30, 1997, with the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the West Virginia Public Service Commission, Appalachian Power Company, d/b/a American Electric Power has proposed the construction of a 765 kV transmission line from its Wyoming Station near Oceana, West Virginia to its Cloverdale Station, at Cloverdale, Virginia ("the Wyoming -Cloverdale 765 kV Line"), to provide needed electric capacity to serve the Company's Central and Eastern areas; and WHEREAS, the Virginia State Corporation Commission stated in a December 13, 1995, Interim Order in an earlier proceeding on the proposed line that, based on the record, there is "... compelling need for additional electric capacity to serve Appalachian's Central and Eastern Regions ..." and that the proposed transmission line "may be the most reasonable method of addressing this compelling need..."; and WHEREAS, in its August 1996 Report to the President in the wake of the recent blackouts in the Western U.S. during the summer of 1996, the U.S. Department of Energy identified delays in the Wyoming -Cloverdale 765 kV Line as one of only two areas of significant concern within the United States regarding reliability of the nation's electricity supply. WHEREAS, in a report issued to the Department of Energy in March 1997, an independent body of experts from three area electricity reliability councils concluded that the delayed completion of the Wyoming -Cloverdale 765 kV Line will result in a significant risk to the power supply reliability affecting a large area of the eastern United States, and that the proposed line is an effective way to mitigate the potential for widespread power interruptions; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia recognizes 1 that an unreliable power supply, and even the prospect of an unreliable power supply, can exert a powerful negative effect on economic development and could sap the vitality and competitiveness of existing business and industry, and affect their expansion decisions, in the County and surrounding region; and WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors recognizes that interruptions of the power supply to the citizens and businesses of the County could cause significant economic damage and other serious health related and safety impacts in the County and surrounding region; and WHEREAS, the Board also desires that AEP be mindful of the natural beauty and historic integrity in the areas where the proposed transmission line project may be located. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA as follows: 1. The Board hereby expresses its support for AEP's proposed Wyoming - Cloverdale 765 kV Transmission Line. 2. The Board requests that AEP minimize as much as possible any negative impact on individual properties, the mountain viewsheds and historic areas that may be located near the proposed Wyoming -Cloverdale Transmission Line. 3. In light of the growing urgency of the need for transmission reinforcement, the Board hereby requests that the Virginia State Corporation Commission complete its assessment of AEP's application in a timely manner and approve the proposed transmission line and a Virginia location for the line. 4. The Clerk to the Board is hereby directed to send certified copies of this Resolution to the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the West Virginia Public Service Commission and the United States Forest Service.
