P202500783 9/24/2024 8:25 AM As representative for the owners of nearly 1,000 acres in Worth County, we would ask that the notification process for the ATXI Project be reviewed by this Commission. Notice given was inadequate to inform of potential impact and damage to the land and allow meaningful input. After several attempts to attain information from the Company, on 9/18/24 a map showing the full extent of the impact and damage to the land was obtained. The map indicates the route was chosen with complete disregard to the interests of the landowners and will cause permanent, arbitrary damage to the land. We request the Commission review the notice procedures, and, if found lacking, require the route be refined and refiled to reflect the interests of the landowners.
P202500872 10/22/2024 8:44 AM The conclusion to support DO-28 over DO-27 is unsupported, specifically where the line crosses 46 Hwy. A comparison using recent maps should be done and a fair comparison will show DO-27 is the best route to cross Hwy46. Furthermore, the reasons given in J. Nicholas’ direct testimony do not warrant a radical re-route, His reasons demonstrate preferential treatment of some to the detriment of others. This is a formal request to deny DO-28 and return to the long standing DO-27. It remains the best path to cross 46 as determined by Ameren’s own criteria, as repeatedly communicated, etc. until an abrupt unjustified re-route replaced it without equal opportunity to the newly affected. DO-27 was and is (when compared fairly) the best route
P202501110 12/11/2024 8:11 AM "We are writing to you to ask that you reconsider the route for the new transmission line in Northwest Missouri. It was stated at the meeting that consideration was made for houses near the route. But we believe that you fail to see that your new line would cut between 3 houses that are a quarter of a mile apart. In the path of your lines is where our family would like to build another house as our youngest son wants to come back to the farm in the future. We already built the access from the highway into the field where we would like to build that new house. Our neighbors are planning to build a new house on the other side of the highway also." *See attached for full comment.
P202501132 12/13/2024 10:53 AM " I'm Cole Scroggs a landowner that you have proposed to put the transmission line through my property. I absolutely do not want it on my property. If you look at the line you take a 90 then right back on to my property. Just continue it straight. This would ruin my land and devalue it. You do no pay for devaluation. Stay off my hard earned property."

P202501173 12/18/2024 7:39 AM I own land in both Gentry and Worth counties and have recently watch the recorded Dec 9th&10th public hearings. I have to concur that it certainly would appear that Ameren has done a poor job in a number of areas regarding these new lines. One area is the notification of the proposed route, and the changes to that route. The other is the investigation and due diligence of new and existing homes and providing a reasonable buffer to these residents. I also have reached out to Ameren to try and acquire updated maps and more specifics only to be told nothing has been decided, it's before the commission for approval. It's as if they don't want input, and if you don't have the info, you can't very well object. Seems to be the mode of operation.
P202501279 1/2/2025 2:27 PM Regarding the reroute: China owned Smithfield Foods property is NOT off limits for this line! Furthermore, of the 3 reasons given by J Nicholas in an attempt to justify the radical rerouting of DO-27, only 1 is legitimate. That being the "house near Kent Lane". Simply moving the east/west section of the original DO-27 south 1/4 mile easily provides the precedented 1250' clearance to the Kent Lane house and of equal importance provides 1250' clearance to ALL residences along 46 highway. In addition, this simple fix would make DO-27 even more superior as seen in the comparison evaluation chart attached. Because DO-27 is available and is the best path, it is the route the Commission should require to be used.
P202501393 1/16/2025 The customer called to say he was unable to attend the meeting. He hasn't seen a map showing where it will cut through or go on his land. Don had said that he believed it was on three separate tracks. He received two letters at once, so he is thinking about two tracks. How can individuals respond when they haven't seen a map?
P202501494 1/21/2025 2:25 PM I attended both the Gentry and DeKalb "open houses" last year, and the "Public Meeting" in December. At all those meetings, and subsequent e-mails to Ameren, I have voiced my concerns about these transmission lines going through and near my property. My biggest concern are these lines going literally only 400 feet from the new house I'm currently building! The new DO-28 route is being proposed because someone at the December 2024 meeting brought out that she is "going to be" building a new home where the DO-27 route was being proposed but I'm CURRENTLY building a new home where the current route is being proposed so why isn't the route being pushed farther to the west of me because it can be with no other houses/people being effected?!?!

P202501695 2/3/2025 12:38 PM "My family, the Laton C Goodson and Wilma Louise Goodson (both DECD) family owned the farm SW of Denver, MO until Dec. 27, 2024. This land is situated in Gentry and Worth County Missouri. I am co-executor for their estate. Wilma L. Goodson died in January 2021. Laton C Goodson died April 17, 2024. As co-power of attorney for Laton I reviewed all incoming USPS mail for Laton beginning Feb. 2023 until his date of death. As co-executor after Laton’s death I have reviewed every piece of incoming mail received for Laton Goodson’s estate and for Laton C Goodson personally. " *Please see attached for full comment.
P202501702 2/5/2025 9:02 AM I take exception to the chosen route of the proposed project for these three reasons: 1. My property, as detailed above, will be directly and negatively impacted by the project. 2. I did not receive notice of the public hearing held in early January 2025 nor was I aware of it. 3. The chosen route will be a significant burden for many years into the future for several households within Sections 5,7 and 8 of T66N, R30W. Additionally, it will prevent construction of a new planned residence. An alternate route approximately 3/4 east and within the east halves of Sections 5,8,17 and 20 would greatly minimize such impacts. To me it seems that cost may be the only reason for selecting." *See attached for full comment.
P202501710 2/5/2025 7:22 PM We want the Commissioners to know we are soliciting the OPC as a party to this CCN to perform its duties and request a hearing for the purpose of discovery of the truth of whether or not ATXI queried the tax roll from Worth Co Assessors office in March-June 2024 as they claim. The attached evidence suggests otherwise. This is of paramount importance in this case because of the mistakes that resulted from a failure to comply with this regulation. We simply want the Commission to have the truth on this matter before they rule. 20 CSR 4240-20.045(6)(K)1 is clear and serves a valuable purpose and should be adhered to by a company such as ATXI/Ameren.
P202501714 2/7/2025 3:20 PM "Regarding 20 CSR 4240-20.045(6)(K)1 Here find evidence to refute a claim made by ATXI .This came to our attention after the December 9th and 10th hearing for DO 28 The evidence provided here shows that ATXI did not query tax records from the Worth County Assessor's office on or around March 2024 as they told Commission Staff. In addition to the evidence provided in the attachment to this email, I confirmed with the current Assessor there is no email to support ATXI's claim on or around March 2024. If ATXI were to have done so they would have a receipt as explained by Miles Spainhower in the attached text message screen shot.(Miles was Assessor at the time in question) Discovery of the truth as to.."*See attached for full comment.

P202502720 4/25/2025 9:03 AM "Ameren and Central Electric Cooperative both have transmission lines running all across my land. The Commission needs to do something regarding this big companies. Their top management and CEOs are way overpaid for what they do. They’re a monopoly so there is no competition, therefore, they can do whatever they want. Rural customers have no idea way of fighting these companies. They use all of our land our destroy it.”
