Groups file lawsuit to halt power line across Mississippi River Wildlife Refuge
Published: , in Outdoor News
A coalition of groups filed a last-minute federal lawsuit seeking to stop plans to build the Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line across a Mississippi River wildlife refuge.
American Transmission Company, ITC Midwest, and Dairyland Power Cooperative, Inc., want to build a 102-mile, 345-kilovolt line linking Iowa’s Dubuque County and Wisconsin’s Dane County. The cost is expected to top half a billion dollars. The utilities say the line would improve electrical reliability across the region.
