Sidney to Sterling Transmission Line Structure Replacement, Logan County, Colorado
CX(s) Applied: B4.6

Western proposes to replace approximately 22 existing wood pole H-frame structures along the Sidney to Sterling 115-kilovolt transmission line between the Sterling Substation and Peetz, Colorado. The existing structures would be replaced with structures that are approximately 10 feet taller to ensure proper electrical clearances. The new structures would look nearly identical to the replaced structures. The work includes removing existing structures and hardware, dismantling old structures, assembling new structures, auguring holes approximately 18-24 inches in diameter for new structures, and installing new structures and backfilling.
