Western proposes to replace nine existing wood pole H-frame structures along the Erie-Terry Street and Lyons-Longmont Northwest transmission lines between Longmont and Erie, Colorado. These transmission lines occur on private lands in Boulder and Broomfield counties, Colorado. Structure sites are located in and around the city of Longmont, in rural residential areas and in agricultural fields. The structures will be replaced with similar H-frame structures. The new structures would be the same height, material, and configuration as the existing structures. All work would be confined to Western's rights-of-way easement. Existing access would be used, no new roads are proposed. The work includes, auguring new holes for new structures, installing new structures, backfilling and adding new hardware and removing wooden poles and hardware.
