OSTI ID:5118098

Western Area Power Administration (Western) proposes to construct approximately 18-1/4 miles of 115-kV transmission line from a new 115-kV substation approximately 1 mile west of Holyoke, Colorado, to an existing Highline Electric Association substation (see General Location Map) located approximately 4 miles north of Wauneta, Colorado. This is the preferred alternative route. The various alternatives are considered. The proposed structure design is single wood pole and single metal or concrete pole where the line is adjacent to agriculture and residental areas, and wood pole H-frame where the alignment crosses pasture land. A Section 7 consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service revealed that there are no federally proposed or listed threatened or endangered species within the project area. No histroic or prehistoric sites pending nomination to or on the National Register of Historic Places are affected by the proposed electric transmission line. 29 refs., 8 figs., 5 tabs.
