owned lands, Native American tribal lands, ethnic enclaves, or areas of high minority population) - potential geologic hazards (e.g., active faults) that could affect transmission system reliability. (2) Alternative System Design, Construction, and Maintenance Practices ` alternative voltage levels and transmission frequency that are compatible with the existing service area/regional transmission network (from the ER) ` alternative tower designs for areas of potential visual impact (from the ER) ` alternative tower heights and conductor-to-ground clearances (from the ER) ` alternative conductor designs (from the ER) ` underground placement in areas of potentially high impact (from the ER) ` alternative construction practices, including vegetation clearing; erosion control; revegetation; access road design, location, and maintenance; tower placement, foundations, and installation; and conductor installation (from the ER and through consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` alternative maintenance practices (from the ER and through consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) October 1999 9.4.3-5 NUREG-1555 ` alternative location of auxiliary transmission facilities, e.g., substations, microwave relay stations (from the ER) ` laws or regulations that affect transmission facility design or operation (from consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies). (3) Selection Process and Cost Data ` discussion of the selection process used to evaluate transmission line routes and the rationale and criteria used to select the proposed route (from the ER) ` acquisition cost data for the proposed and alternative route rights-of-way (from the ER) ` construction and maintenance costs for the proposed system and for principal system alternatives (from the ER) ` estimated transmission line losses for the proposed system and for
