BEAR CREEK TWP. ““ Backers of the Penobscot Mountain Wind Project continue to wait for a higher-court decision.
In May, Energy Unlimited Inc. filed an appeal before the state Supreme Court of a lower court decision that upheld the township’s rejection of the wind turbine park.
That Commonwealth Court decision in February was a reversal of the August 2006 ruling by Luzerne County President Judge Michael Conahan, whose ruling overturned a 2-1 vote by supervisors in May 2006 to reject a preliminary plan submitted by Energy Unlimited and Pennsylvania Wind Power.
“If the (state) Supreme Court takes the case, they will have the final decision,” said Bill Vinsko, township solicitor, at Monday night’s board of supervisors meeting.
He said an additional nine windmills are pending a decision from the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.
In other business:
“¢ A 3,400-acre Bear Creek Preserve, a natural land trust, has been set up on White Haven Road. Another preserve is scheduled.
“¢ A special meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 14 for community land development.
“¢ A special meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. June 25 for a construction of a new water tank by Aqua America.
“¢ A representative from the Bald Mountain Wind Farm was also scheduled to present, but nobody from the operation showed up.
