In September 1962, the Consolidated Edison Company announced plans to build
a pumped storage facility, the largest of its kind in the world, at Storm
King Mountain near Cornwall, New York. The initial application for license
to construct the plant was filed with the Federal Power Commission in
January 1963. On November 8, 1963, a small group of concerned citizens met
at the home of Carl Carmer and formed the Scenic Hudson Preservation
Conference to fight the pumped storage project on the grounds that it posed
a threat to the Cornwall water supply and Hudson River fisheries as well as
to scenic and historic Storm King Mountain. The Scenic Hudson Decision, as
the case is called in law books, launched the modern environmental
movement. The records of this case are archived at the Marist College
Library.
