GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RACHEL HARKINS ALLMAN, AND MY ADDRESS IS ONE, 2235 JERICHO ROAD, KINGSVILLE. THANK YOU. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY NEIGHBORS, WHO YOU WILL ALSO HEAR TONIGHT AND MANY OTHERS WHO ARE NOT. AND MY NAME IS RACHEL ALLMAN. I GREW UP IN HARFORD COUNTY, IN JOPPA ALONG THE LITTLE GUNPOWDER RIVER. I STILL LIVE ALONG THE LITTLE GUNPOWDER WHERE I'M RAISING MY FOUR KIDS WITH MY HUSBAND IN KINGSVILLE. I'M SPEAKING HERE TONIGHT TO

[00:40:03]

GOOD EVENING SIR. NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. MY NAME IS BILL ZINK. I LIVE AT 11 801 CHAPMAN ROAD. I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO AND FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO THESE WORDS. AS OF AS AS AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, JUDGE JENNIFER GRACE IS THE PUBLIC UTILITY LAWYER JUDGE WHO IS OVERSEEING THE UPCOMING PSC HEARINGS TO ENSURE THAT ALL PROCEDURES FOLLOW PROPER. ONE OF THE CODES ADDRESSED IMPORTANT PRESERVATION AND CHARACTER OF THE INTEGRITY OF THE HISTORIC AREAS EXISTING POWER LINES THAT PROPOSED A SECOND SET DIRECTLY AGAINST THAT INTENT IN KINGSVILLE, UPPER FALLS, BRADSHAW AREA ALONE, OVER 50 HISTORICAL PROPERTIES SIT WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE POWER LINES. THESE HOMES DATE BACK TO THE 17 1800S.

AMONG THEM IS A JERUSALEM MILL VILLAGE, ONE OF THE OLDEST, MOST INTACT HISTORIC VILLAGES IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. VISITORS COME FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO EXPERIENCE A UNIQUE HISTORY, YET THE POWER LINES RUN ONLY ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THE VILLAGE, CREATING VISUAL POLLUTION THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE HISTORICAL BEAUTY AND AUTHENTICITY OF. WE ARE TRYING TO HOLD, TRYING TO SO HARD TO PRESERVE. I'M. I'M PROVIDING A LIST OF PROPERTIES LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF HISTORIC PLACES FOR YOUR REFERENCE. WITH SO MANY OF THESE CLOSE TO THE POWER LINES, THERE IS ALSO A REAL CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY. SINGLE FIRE. A SINGLE FIRE LIKE THE ONE SEEN IN CALIFORNIA COULD ERASE CENTURIES OF LOCAL HISTORY.

THERE ARE MANY HISTORICAL PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT HARFORD, BALTIMORE COUNTY, THAT WILL BE AFFECTED ONLY. ONLY. REFERENCES ONE. SMALL AREA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

[00:45:06]

LET NOT FORGET THE ALL PROPERTY OWNERS BEING AFFECTED. SOME OF THESE TALL MONOPOLES DIRECTLY IN THEIR BACKYARD. WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER FOR MANY REASONS. HISTORICALLY, HEALTH CONCERNS, PROPERTY VALUES AND SAFETY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. ZINK, AND THANK YOU FOR THE WRITTEN TESTIMONY. LYNN ZINK, FOLLOWED BY MARK KOKUA. GOOD EVENING MA'AM. NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE.

HI. GOOD EVENING. LYNN ZINK, 11 801 CHAPMAN ROAD, KINGSVILLE, MARYLAND. MY HUSBAND AND I RESIDED IN JOPPA, MARYLAND FOR OVER 16 YEARS AND HAVE REALLY ENJOYED OUR TIME THERE. WE'RE BACK AT OUR FAMILY FARM AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING 37 FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE LOVED AND ENJOYED OUR FAMILY FARM FOR GENERATIONS. AND WE'RE BACK AT THE FAMILY FARM. AND, YOU KNOW, WE STILL GATHER FOR SUNDAY SUPPER. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. AND YET, BJ'S PROPOSED EXPANSION THREATENS OUR LAND, OUR LEGACY AND OUR HOME. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS, AND ONE OF THEM IS THAT THE PROJECT HAS STRETCHED WELL BEYOND WHAT WAS PROMISED THE 1931 ZINK DEED. IT STATES A SINGLE TRANSMISSION LINE, AND HERE WE ARE TODAY, 170 FOOT MONOPOLES, VERY TALL STRUCTURES WITH 12 LINES GOING ACROSS THEM. AND NOW THEY WANT TO PROPOSE A SECOND SET. YOU KNOW, THE QUIET COUNTRY ROAD WE ONCE ENJOYED IS BEING TURNED INTO A SUPER COMMERCIAL HIGHWAY. ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT OUR ORIGINAL AGREEMENT WAS NOT HONORED. SO THE 1978 EASEMENT WITH THE ZINCS REFERS BACK TO THE 1931 DEED ABOUT A SINGLE TRANSMISSION LINE. THERE'S NO TYPO THERE. IT WAS MENTIONED FIVE TIMES. AND ALSO IT MENTIONED THAT THE THE RIGHT IT WAS RIGHT ALONG THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE CENTER LINE FOR THE 150 FOOT EASEMENT. BOTH CONDITIONS, THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN BROKEN. WE HAVE ANOTHER CONCERN ABOUT THE 1978 EASEMENT. ANNA ZINK, A 79 YEAR OLD WIDOW, IS THE PERSON WHO SIGNED THAT EASEMENT. AND WE AS A FAMILY, ALL 37 FAMILY MEMBERS. WE KNOW THAT THERE IS NO WAY SHE WOULD HAVE EVER CONTEMPLATED WHAT THEY HAVE BUILT THE SIZE, THE SCALE, THE INDUSTRIAL IMPACT OF THESE TOWERS. AND NOW THEY WANT TO BRING IN A SECOND SET. WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO, THAT SHE NEVER WOULD HAVE SIGNED A DOCUMENT LIKE THAT, NEVER WOULD HAVE CONTEMPLATED OR IMAGINED. OUR FINAL CONCERN IS HEALTH CONCERNS. ONE OF THE ZINC CHILDREN RAN ALONG THE PLAYED AROUND ALL THE POWER LINES, AND HE INDEED ENDED UP WITH CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA. AND SO WE IT'S THIS ISSUE IS REALLY HIT US PERSONALLY AND WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT EMF EXPOSURE FOR NOT JUST OUR FAMILY, BUT THE COMMUNITY ALL ALONG THE POWER LINES, A FEW OF US ZINC MEMBERS HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE INTRAVENOUS STATUS TO SPEAK AT NEXT WEEK'S PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION MEETINGS, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN DENIED THIS CHANCE TO SPEAK. SO WE WOULD LOVE TO REACH OUT.

HARFORD COUNTY, PLEASE, NEXT WEEK COME AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. LET BGE AND THE PSC KNOW THAT WE STAND TOGETHER. NO MORE POWER LINES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU MA'AM. GOOD EVENING SIR. NAME AND ADDRESS PLEASE. GOOD EVENING. IT'S DOCTOR MARK KUKUCKA 12402 JERUSALEM ROAD, KINGSVILLE, MARYLAND. 21087. THE BRANDON SHORES RETIREMENT MITIGATION, OR BSR PROJECT, IS A MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN PROPOSED BY BG. IT'S DESIGNED IT'S DESIGNED TO REPLACE POWER FROM THE AGING BRANDON SHORES COAL PLANT WITH NEWLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSMISSION LINES THAT CARRY ELECTRICITY FROM OTHER PLACES, INCLUDING PENNSYLVANIA. TO DO THIS, BG WANTS TO EXPAND ITS USE OF A NARROW STRIP OF LAND, A TRANSMISSION CORRIDOR THAT RUNS THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY. BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM THEY'RE BUILDING. THEY'RE TRYING TO BUILD FAR MORE THAN THE CORRIDOR WAS EVER MEANT TO HOLD, AND THEY'RE DOING IT WITHOUT NEW PERMISSIONS, WITHOUT UPDATED EASEMENTS, AND WITHOUT RESPECTING THE LEGAL BOUNDARIES THAT PROTECT OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS. THIS CORRIDOR ISN'T JUST ABOUT A UTILITY SHORTCUT. IT'S GOVERNED BY LEGAL AGREEMENTS. IN 1978, BGE ACQUIRED ONE EXAMPLE EASEMENT, KNOWN AS THE ZINC AGREEMENT. THAT EASEMENT EXPLICITLY INCORPORATES AN EARLIER DEED FROM 1931, THE JONES DEED, WHICH LIMITS WHAT CAN BE BUILT IN THAT CORRIDOR. UNDER MARYLAND LAW, WHEN ONE LEGAL DOCUMENT INCORPORATES ANOTHER, THE OLDER RULES STILL APPLY. THAT'S CALLED THE INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE DOCTRINE. IT'S NOT

[00:50:05]

CORRIDOR RIGHTS AREN'T JUST LEGAL DETAILS, THEY'RE ABOUT FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY, AND COMMUNITY CONTROL. WE'VE SEEN HOW REGULATORY SILENCE CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR CONSENT. BUT SILENCE ISN'T APPROVAL. IT'S A GAP. AND THAT AND WHEN THAT GAP IS EXPLOITED, CITIZENS SHOULD SPEAK UP. WE'RE NOT JUST DEFENDING PROPERTY, WE'RE DEFENDING PROCESS. AND WHEN PROCESS BREAKS DOWN, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RESTORE IT. SO I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

SPEAK UP AT PUBLIC MEETINGS, SUBMIT COMMENTS, SHARE THE STORY. BECAUSE WHEN WE PROTECT OUR WATER RIGHTS, WE PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE RULE OF LAW ITSELF. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SIR. PATTY VON PARIS, FOLLOWED BY JOHN VON PARIS. GOOD EVENING MA'AM. NAME AND ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS PATTY VON PARIS. I LIVE AT 11611 FRANKLINVILLE ROAD IN UPPER FALLS, MARYLAND. OKAY, TONIGHT I WILL SHARE WITH YOU A TIMELINE OF BG'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH, OR LACK THEREOF, OUTREACH ON THE BRAND AND SHAW'S RETIREMENT MITIGATION PROJECT. THEIR LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND POOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. IN TOTAL, BGE MAILED FIVE LETTERS AND TWO POSTCARDS TO LANDOWNERS ON LANDOWNERS LANDOWNERS ON THE RIGHT OF WAY OR WITHIN 300FT OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. THE LETTERS WERE ADDRESSED TO BGE. CUSTOMER OR CURRENT RESIDENT LOOK LIKE JUNK MAIL. THE FIRST LETTER WAS DATED DECEMBER 2023. WE RECEIVED IT IN LATE JANUARY OR EARLY FEBRUARY. WHEN WE OPENED THE LETTER AND READ IT, WE WERE CONFUSED ABOUT WHO WAS BRANDON SHAW'S. WE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE BRANDON SHAW'S MITIGATION PROJECT. ONCE WE READ ABOUT THE CLOSURE OF THE POWER PLANT, LEARNED ABOUT THAT, AND THAT BGE WAS UPGRADING, BGE STATED THAT THEY WERE UPGRADING SEVERAL EXISTING SUBSTATIONS, CONSTRUCTING ONE NEW SUBSTATION, AND MODIFYING 35 MILES OF TRANSMISSION LINES. THE SECOND LETTER LETTER WAS DATED MARCH 2024, ADDRESSED AGAIN TO BGE CUSTOMER OR CURRENT RESIDENT.

THEY AGAIN TALK ABOUT THE UPGRADES, CONSTRUCTION OF THE SUBSTATION AND MODIFICATION OF 35 MILES OF TRANSMISSION LINES. THEY ALSO INVITE US TO COME TO A MEETING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT. THE DATE OF THE MEETING WAS APRIL 8TH. WELL, ON APRIL 6TH WE RECEIVED A POSTCARD STATING THAT THE MEETING WAS CANCELED. THE THIRD LETTER IS DATED JULY 2024, ONCE AGAIN ADDRESSED TO BGE. CUSTOMER OR CURRENT RESIDENT AGAIN LOOK LIKE JUNK MAIL.

THERE IS NO MENTION OF CONSTRUCTION OR SUBSTATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS IN THIS LETTER.

THIS LETTER INFORMS US THAT BGE HAS FILED AN APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY. CASE NUMBER 9748. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE INTERVENOR PROCESS TO THE PSC HEARINGS OR THE DEADLINE TO APPLY, WHICH WAS AUGUST 16TH, 2024. THE NEXT THING WE RECEIVE IS ANOTHER POSTCARD INVITING US TO AN OPEN HOUSE IN SEPTEMBER. AND THEN THE FOURTH LETTER WE RECEIVE IS DATED DECEMBER 2024. THEY LET US KNOW A TEAM OF CONTRACTORS WILL BE COMING AND WALKING ON THE RIGHT OF WAY. NO MENTION OF CONSTRUCTING A SUBSTATION OR MODIFYING TRANSMISSION LINES. FINALLY, THE LAST LETTER WE RECEIVED DATED MARCH 24TH, 2025

[16. BUSINESS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS ]

YOU KNOW, I LIVE IN HAVRE DE GRACE ON THE OPPOSITE END OF THE COUNTY, SO IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL TO KNOW YOUR NEEDS AND WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING. IT JUST MADE ME THINK ABOUT THE STATE'S PUSH AND MOVE TO DATA CENTERS. AND I THINK OF THOSE FACILITIES AS A WAY WHERE BIG COMPANIES ARE TAKING MONEY FROM US AND ALSO TAKING OUR ENERGY MEANT FOR US. SO JUST ALONG THOSE LINES, IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE POWER LINES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LIGHTS TURN ON. IT'S ANOTHER THING TO HAVE POWER LINES TO SOMEONE ELSE. MAKES A LOT OF MONEY. I ATTENDED THE NAACP MEET AND GREET, WHICH WAS A REALLY GREAT EVENT THIS YEAR.

IT WAS WESTERN THEMED, SO LOTS OF COWBOY HATS AND BOOTS, WHICH WAS VERY FUN. IT WAS JUST A REALLY GREAT TIME. EACH YEAR THAT MEET AND GREET IS JUST SUCH A GREAT CELEBRATION OF COMMUNITY.
