Bonneville Power Administration proposes to address two line impairments on the Custer-Ingledow Number 1 and Number 2 lines. 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 ongoing safe and reliable operation of the transmission line, to maintain power delivery in the region, and to ensure the line meets current National Electrical Safety Code and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission standards.
