Western proposes installing Firefly type bird diversion equipment onto static wires (overhead ground wires) of the Prescott-Pinnacle Peak 230-kilovolt transmission line between structures 144/3 and 145/2. The diverters will be spaced approximately 15 feet apart alternating between the two static lines. The diverters will be installed using a hot stick from a helicopter or by accessing the line using existing access roads and rubber-tired vehicles such as cherry pickers, pickup trucks, crew trucks. All work will be done within Westerns existing right-of-way. This work is necessary to maintain the safety and reliability of the bulk electrical system.
