Thompson : REe,-LAMA7_,- <br /> Mid-Continent requests a minor revision (MR 1) to allow us <br /> to selectively cut trees along the path of the 3. 8 mile long <br /> 23 KV power line known as the "5-101ine Loop . " <br /> Since the construction of this power line in 1971 , trees have <br /> grown to the point that the original 50 ' right-of-way has been <br /> rendered inadequate for prevention of occasional tree blow-down <br /> onto the power line . We propose to fell threatening trees , <br /> primarily the tall but unstable Aspen trees , along the 3 . 8 mile <br /> length of the 5-Mine Loop. <br /> An inquiry with the office of the District Ranger, U. S . Forest <br /> 'Service, regarding the provisions of Special Use Permit r2720, <br /> dated 6-19-69, confirmed that Mid-Continent has the right to <br /> maintain the power line right-of-way in an unobstructed <br /> condition. <br /> Enclosed, please find a map of the route of the power line . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David Kellogg <br /> Environmental Coordinator <br />
