Western proposes to replace Structure 98/1 and conduct access road maintenance on Western's existing Boysen-Copper Mountain 115 kilovolt transmission line in Fremont County, Wyoming. Structure 98/1 is located on United States (US) Bureau of Reclamation land in the southeast 1/4 of Section 16, T. 5 north, R. 6 east, of the Wind River meridian, Wyoming near the Boysen State Park Headquarters. A cleared, level area (landing) will be constructed around the base of structure 98/1 for better equipment stability and access to the structure. A tracked dozer will be used to smooth segments of the dirt access road from US Highway 20 to Structure 98/1 (approximately 0.5 miles) so that travel will be less hazardous for the large bucket trucks needed to replace the structure.
