S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 10087 I N A S S E M B L Y June 12, 2014 ___________ Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Ryan) -- read once and referred to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT to authorize an easement on a portion of real property within the Boutwell Hill state forest in the county of Chautauqua for the location of electric collection or distribution facilities in connection with a wind powered electric generation project located in the towns of Charlotte and/or Cherry Creek THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. A proposed wind generation project, in the county of Chautauqua in the towns of Charlotte and/or Cherry Creek, could potentially generate up to 200 megawatts of clean renewable elec- tricity from wind power with minimal impact on the environment compared with other electric generation sources. To maximize the production of electricity from such wind power project, an electric collection or distribution line would need to pass through a portion of real property immediately adjacent to or within the right of ways of public roads running through the Boutwell Hill state forest. The legislature finds that it will serve a useful public purpose to authorize the department of environmental conservation to execute an easement agreement for real property within the Boutwell Hill state forest for such collection or distribution line and appropriate access, in the event that such collection or distribution line proposed to be located on such easement lands is certified pursuant to article 7 or 10 of the public service law. S 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 9-0501 of the environ- mental conservation law and the provisions of the public lands law, the department of environmental conservation is authorized to grant an ease- ment for an electric collection or distribution line on real property within the Boutwell Hill state forest, which meets the following condi- tions: (a) The easement is for an electric collection or distribution line which is part of a wind powered electric generation project located in the towns of Charlotte and/or Cherry Creek. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
