Western plans to remove an existing three-pole turning structure (3/1 B) on the existing Raceway-Westwing 230-kilovolt (kV) Transmission Line, add a new replacement three-pole turning structure (also 3/1 B), and move equipment to a bay constructed by Arizona Public Service (APS) within the existing Raceway Substation in order to accommodate APS's new transmission line and substation equipment. APS intends to use the bay currently occupied by the Raceway-Westwing 230-kV Transmission Line for their new Morgan (aka TS-9)-Raceway 230-kV Transmission Line.
