CHAPTERTWO <br />Table 2-2 <br />ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED SUMMARY <br />Proposed Action Alternatives Considered Reasonableness and Practicability of Altern; <br />Grand Valle Po~~cr proposes Sec subsequent test. No private lands north of the Hi~~hlinc Canal ~~o <br />installing po~~cr lines along impacted. Nc~~/additional access ~~ould be rcqu <br />CR I~ to supple clccU~icit~ to for much of the line on BLM-mana~~cd lands. T <br />the mine from the \ccl Ena~g~ line ~~ould be consU~uctcd in county road cascnu <br />Uintah Substation at Fruita. south of the Highlinc Canal. <br />North of the Highlinc Canal. <br />the route ~~ould be cntircl~ on <br />BLM-managed lands. CAM <br />~~ill consU~uct a substation at <br />the mine to reduce ~oltagc to <br />useable Ic~cls. <br /> Construct transmission line along SH 139 and CR X Installing a power line along SH 139 would imp <br /> the view along the highway-a designated sceni <br /> byway-unless it is installed underground. Bot] <br /> Mesa County and CDOT have expressed opposi <br /> this alternative. This was GVP's first preferred <br /> alternative due to access issues and ROW easen <br /> Alternati~~e A - ConsU~uct a U~ansmission line that Must cross pri~atc land (.estimated 19 parcels) n <br /> follo~~s CRI(~ and crosses BLM and pri~atc lands of Highlinc Canal to get to the U~ansmission <br /> north of the Hi~~hline Canal then follo~~s a pipeline line/pipeline corridor. Than arc no casements c <br /> and transmission line corridor norlh~~cslcrl~ to the pri~atc land north oC the Highlinc Canal. Good <br /> mine facilities. along CR I(>. but requires more angle (turning) <br /> sU~uctures. Is the lon~~cst altcrnati~c. <br /> Alternati~r B -Same route as Altcrnati~c A south Alta~nati~c B ~~ould reduce (but not eliminate) ~ <br /> of the Highlinc Canal. North of the canal - follo~~s land crossin~~s b~ using BLM isolated parcels. <br /> section lines and land o~~nership boundaries. Sections of the transmission line ~~ould follo~~ <br /> existing disturbance and access roads. <br />2-18 <br />
