At a meeting last month at Rappahannock County High School, PEC President Chris Miller said the environmental organization has made several requests for Dominion to furnish the data the company is using to justify the need for the new corridor. But Dominion has not provided those numbers, Miller said.

“What we can say is this: Ihe need is real,” Norvelle said. The data in our application will be complete and full and there will be adequate time during the SCC proceeding to research all the data.”

Pat Curry, an archaeologist who lives on Tiger Valley Road near Washington, is heading an effort to compile historical information about areas along North and South Poes Road, where the existing transmission corridor is located.

She said Poes Road is on a map dated from 1776, and there is evidence to suggest William Poe built the byway in the mid1770s.

The area is still largely undeveloped and that means there is a good chance historical artifacts are still there, she said This area has got the potential to yield information,” Curry said.

As a starting point, she is soliciting stories about the area from local residents and hoping those stories will lead her to places where she can find physical historical evidence.

“One thing will lead to another, hopefully” Curry said.

Unfortunately, she said, there will most likely not be enough time to complete a formal historical survey of the area before Dominion applies to the SCC in April.
