Court 10 hears arguments on power project in Virginia
In Norfolk Virginia on March 15 Judge Luther B Way set May 2 for arguments on Appalachian Power Companys motion to permanently enjoin the Federal Power Commission from interfering with plans to build a hydroelectric plant on New River in Montgomery County The case questions federal authority over state permit power and the constitutionality of the Federal Power Act with the commission seeking to overrule state authority and deny a license for the project. The company contends the New River site is non navigable and the federal government has no land or stream interest and that interstate commerce would not be affected. The General Assembly has recently given the State Corporation Commission authority to declare navigable streams and grant permits.
