In order to bring power into Western's substation, Upper Missouri and Roughrider must interconnect their Pronghorn substation, located in SEC 17 T140N R99W, to the proposed South Heart substation, located in SEC20 T140N R98W, and then the South Heart substation to Western's Belfield substation, located in SEC20 T140N R98W. This would be accomplished by building a roughly eight mile stretch of 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line east-west between Pronghorn and South Heart, and a north-south tie-line of less than one half mile of230-kV between South Heart and Belfield.
