The North Anna - Kraken Loop is a Dominion Energy proposed 500kV + 230 kV power line project that requires a 120 foot clear cut path across Stafford County, affecting five public schools and numerous farms and homes. Towering Concerns is a citizen coalition that seeks to EDUCATE the public about the Kraken and work with Dominion to MOVE and/or MITIGATE its negative effects.

Proposed Quantico Route for the Kraken Loop

Towering Concerns proposes MOVING the east-west segments of the North Anna Kraken Loop power line to the south side of Quantico Marine Corps Base.

Why moving to Quantico is better for everyone:

Moving is better for DominionMoving is better for Stafford citizens
No protracted legal battle at the SCC with multiple citizen organizations, the county, and landownersNo expensive legal fees
Working with citizens instead of bullying them could be a new model of utility deliveryStaffordians will cooperate with Dominion to lobby the Commonwealth and federal government to procure the necessary easement
Only one easement to procure, as Quantico touches the proposed station and existing north south power corridorProperty values remain stable
Faster completion of the projectNeighbors of the project will have a greenery buffer protecting them from EMF radiation
Increased profitability for investorsNone of the five Stafford schools on the proposed Kraken route will be affected
Shorter, more direct routeTaxes will not increase to cover lowered property values or legal fees
