Summary
PacifiCorp representatives presented the Gateway West transmission project, described route alternatives affecting about 61 miles in Lincoln County, reviewed structure designs and schedule, and asked the county for a letter of support for the south Cokeville alternative route.
Nancy Smith of PacifiCorp introduced a project team (Aleta Brown, Sedona Burman and Ron Wild) and presented the Gateway West transmission-line project and route alternatives affecting Lincoln County. PacifiCorp said the county would be updated monthly as work progresses and that the project includes roughly 61 miles of new single-circuit transmission line in the county.
The presentation covered route maps, alternatives, proposed structure designs and a project schedule with milestones. Aleta Brown asked the commissioners for a letter of support from the county for PacifiCorp’s preferred south Cokeville route alternative.
Commissioner Harmon thanked PacifiCorp for pursuing an alternate route at Cokeville. The board did not vote on a letter at the meeting; PacifiCorp requested the county’s consideration and noted they would continue county briefings as the routing process moves forward.
