AMT436- FEDERAL COURT APPROVES PERMISSION TO INVADE FARM LAND - Sheriff says "Not on my soil" | As a Man Thinketh
A federal court has allowed developers of the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP) to enter hundreds of private properties in Baltimore, Carroll, and Frederick counties to conduct surveys—over many owners’ objections. In a 52-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Adam B. Abelson wrote: “PSEG qualifies as an entity ‘having the power of eminent domain’.” The order permits access with 24-hours’ notice (including by posting a notice on a door) while the Public Service Commission reviews the project; it does not authorize construction. 
Local law enforcement has distanced itself from enforcing entries on private land. The Carroll County Sheriff stated his department “will not get involved” in PSEG’s access fight, calling it a civil matter.
Opposition groups and county officials continue to press back. About 60 landowners moved to block the ruling within days, and appeals were filed in September challenging the court’s interpretation that allows pre-CPCN entry. The Carroll County Board of Commissioners also filed to keep PSEG off private land.
