The proposed Lower Churchill infeed will also involve stringing an electrode from the main transmission line into the territory of the proposed Mealy Mountain National Park.
Apparently hitting one national park in the province wasn’t enough.
The Mealy Mountain park has been under development for most of the past decade.
Gros Morne Update: From CBC -
Peter Deering, manager of resource conservation at the park, said it's important the park not be disturbed by transmission lines.
"We do not support the proposal and we are not prepared to accommodate the proposal at this time," Deering told CBC News. "One of the reasons Gros Morne was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site was because of its wilderness values."
