Estes to Flatiron Substation Transmission Lines Rebuild Project, Larimer County, CO
DOE’s Western Area Power Administration (Western) announces their intent to prepare an EIS to evaluate the environmental impacts of a proposal to upgrade and co-locate these transmission lines, by removing one and abandoning its right-of-way, and rebuilding the other along the existing right-of-way as a double-circuit line (i.e., six conductors per pole). The USDA Forest Service, Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest, is a cooperating agency in preparing the EIS to support its decision on whether to grant a Special Use Permit for parts of the transmission line located on National Forest lands.
