Bonneville Power Administration proposes to remedy an impairment on the Badger Canyon – Reata #1 transmission line by reshaping the soil surface. An impairment is an area where the distance from the conductor to the ground surface is inadequate, per National Electrical Safety Code standards, resulting in a threat to line reliability and posing a risk to public health and safety. The proposed work is necessary to ensure the line meets current National Electrical Safety Code and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission standards.
