There appears to be more legal challenges for a proposed high-voltage transmission line that would run from Dubuque to Dane Counties. In a recent filing, four conservation groups have brought a lawsuit against the US Army of Corps of Engineers for how they handled the Cardinal-Hickory Creek project. Organizations listed in the suit include the National Wildlife Refuge Association, Driftless Area Land Conservancy, Wisconsin Wildlife Federation and the Defenders of Wildlife. The groups are alleging that the Corps did not meet federal standards related to assessing environmental impacts prior to the agency issuing permits for the project back in 2017 and 2018. The almost half-a-billion-dollar transmission line is a joint venture of American Transmission Company, ITC Midwest and Dairyland Power Cooperative. The same conservation groups have also filed lawsuits against the Rural Utilities Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. ....
A proposed high-voltage power line between northern Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin faces yet another legal challenge. Environmental groups sued the Army Corps of Engineers in federal court Wednesday over its permit allowing utilities to place towers in the Mississippi River for the $492 million project known as Cardinal-Hickory Creek. The National Wildlife Refuge Association, Driftless Area Land Conservancy and three other organizations say the agency violated federal environmental law by failing to take a âhard lookâ at the environmental consequences of the 102-mile line on public waters and lands, wildlife, recreation and property values. The EPA is proposing to phase out the production and use of hydrofluorocarbons. Those gases are commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioners and are considered a major driver of global warming. The proposed rule follows through on a law Congress passed back in December. It would decrease U.S. production an ....

Federal appellate judges heard debate over whether claims of bias against two commissioners who approved the power line’s construction are enough to halt the project.

(Photo by Brandon Jones/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) CHICAGO (CN) The tug-of-war over a major electric transmission corridor proposed to run through two Midwest states arrived back before a Seventh Circuit panel on Wednesday, where attorneys and judges raised questions over past approval of the project. Environmental groups fighting construction of the power line say two members of the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin with ties to transmission companies involved with the project were biased in approving the corridor and that the line’s approval is doing ongoing harm. The commissioners and transmission companies say there is no cognizable harm being created by the finished deal and that the allegations of bias are not supported by ....
by Kelsey Tamborrino (Politico’s Morning Energy)Conservation groups on Wednesday sued over the federal government’s approval of the 102-mile, $500 million Cardinal-Hickory Creek high-voltage transmission line that would carry electricity from renewables from Iowa to Wisconsin. The suit argues that the Agriculture Department’s Rural Utilities Service’s environmental study didn’t properly consider alternatives and that the Fish and Wildlife Service unlawfully granted a right-of-way through a refuge.
