Maryland environmental groups formally enter the fray over the Piedmont power line proposal.
They call for the project to receive a stringent environmental review through a federal law.
The company proposing the route, New-Jersey based PSEG , has said that it plans to first apply for a key certificate.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , Baltimore District, has met with the power line company, but not received an application.
The Piedmont project will impact 514 acres of protected area and 47 acres of wetlands.
The loss of trees will remove shade and hasten erosion, which could raise the temperature of the water.
The NEPA process is typically triggered for federal projects, but several "hooks" bring federal government into the equation.
Hill learned of the project four days after he married his wife Marie on the property earlier this year .
Some of that land will have to be cleared to make way for the line, Hill expects.
Existing power lines owned by BGE abut his property.
