[Madison, Wis.] – The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin has released the dates, times and locations of six scoping sessions in the coming month to solicit input from the public to help determine the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement that must be prepared regarding the proposed Badger Coulee Transmission Project.
