Content:
for evaluating the applicant’s power transmission system is discussed in the following paragraph: A description and characterization of the proposed transmission system is necessary to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the system. Restrictions on property use in the proposed power transmission line corridor and sensitive habitats in its proposed path must be understood so that the impacts can be fully considered. Additionally, the design parameters of the system and the resulting field strengths and noise levels expected to be associated with power transmission provide useful information in addressing the significance of potential impacts. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer’s analysis of the proposed power transmission system should be closely linked with the impact assessment review described within ESRPs 4.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.4.3, 5.1.3, 5.6, and 5.8.3 to establish the general power transmission system characteristics that are most likely to affect these reviews. Because this plan is primarily for description, the information can usually be obtained from the ER or from responses to questions asked of the applicant. When an applicant has identified a specific corridor or corridors as the proposed transmission line route or routes, only those corridors need to be considered in this review. (Alternative corridors should be considered by the reviewer for ESRP 9.4.3 on Alternative Transmission Systems.) If no specific corridors are identified, the reviewer should consider in this review all potential corridors identified by the applicant. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Evaluating the adequacy of this material requires the reviewer to determine that (1) data on the power transmission system are sufficient to describe the systems and provide qualitative and quantitative infor- mation necessary to assess potential impacts to land use, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and man and (2) Federal, State, regional, and local regulations, and affected Native
