DOE has prepared an EA that evaluates the potential environmental impacts of issuing a Presidential permit for a new, 72-mile long, 1,000 megawatt, high-voltage direct current, electric transmission system that would cross the international border with Canada in Lake Erie and connect to the proposed Erie Converter Station in Conneaut Township, Pennsylvania. DOE issued a Finding of No Significant Impact. Additional information is available on the project website: http://www.itclakeerieconnector.com/.
