Officials in Woodstock and New York City have filed requests seeking intervener status in federal permit proceedings for a proposed 2,800-megawatt electric generating plant at the Ashokan Reservoir.
The documents were submitted last week, with both set of documents contending the project would have significant impacts on the municipalities.
“The city owns the Ashokan Reservoir, which comprises a large part of the proposed pump storage facility and is an important component of the city’s water supply system,” city officials wrote.
