Protect Bald Mountain
Our land. Our water. Our communities. Our voice.
The proposed Old Forge Pumped Storage Project could permanently change Bald Mountain and surrounding communities. This site provides information about the project, its potential impacts, and ways residents can make their voices heard.
What is being proposed?
A pumped-storage hydroelectric project has been proposed for the Bald Mountain area. The project would involve large reservoirs, underground infrastructure, power facilities and other supporting infrastructure across the surrounding communities.
Why We’re Concerned
The proposed project could affect more than the land where the facilities are built. Residents are seeking answers about water resources, environmental impacts, construction, infrastructure, property, and the long-term effects on the surrounding communities.
We believe the public should have access to clear information, complete studies, and a meaningful opportunity to participate before decisions are made.
