FPC backs Con Ed Storm King hydro project with safeguards
A Federal Power Commission examiner recommends approving Consolidated Edison s proposed 2,000 megawatt Cornwall hydroelectric plant at Storm King Mountain near Cornwall New York after hearings in New York and Washington. The plan includes an upper reservoir underground power station transmission lines and on site recreation with conditions to protect scenic beauty and fish life. The decision follows a long dispute since 1963 among Scenic Hudson Sierra Club local towns and others.

Scenic Hudson vows fight till the end
Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference leaders vow to continue opposing the Con Ed Cornwall project despite costs, stating they will appeal again if the Federal Power Commission examiner’s recommendation is not overturned. The group, formed five years ago, has spent about 250000 on court battles and plans another fundraising push. The appeal window opens as Con Ed pushes ahead with planned improvements and state review may follow.
