Scenic Hudson Collection (Records relating to the Storm King Case)
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.
On November 8, 1963, a small group of concerned citizens met 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, the Hudson River fisheries, and Storm King Mountain. The lengthy and controversial case set important precedents in environmental law and is generally credited with spawning the modern environmental movement.
