Judge denies motions for summary judgment

A planned hearing on whether the N.C. Division of Water Quality properly issued a water quality certificate for the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project will move forward on September 27, following today’s ruling by Administrative Law Judge Joe Webster to deny all motions for summary judgment.

We look forward to a full hearing on these issues and are fully prepared to present our case at trial.  It has been more than 16 months since the Division of Water Quality announced that the Yadkin Project met the standards for Section 401 certification, and we are eager for these issues to be resolved so FERC will act on our relicensing application.
