USNPS officials deny claims that decision on Delaware Water Gap NRA power line has been predetermined

In a move to counter whispers, National Park Service officials have issued a statement that they have not developed a predetermined position on a power transmission corridor a company wants to run through Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, and the Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River.

"It is critically important that the record is set straight on this important issue.

Donahue and Pamela Underhill said in a joint statement.
