Western proposes to conduct work in two stages at Adams Tap and Adams Substation located in Benson, Cochise County, Arizona. The first stage will require a "shoo-fly" installation (a temporary bypass line) at Adams Tap allowing Western to interconnect between two yards and take critical portions of the Adams Substation out of service while Western builds the second portion a new control building. Due to leakage and deterioration, the second stage of the construction is a new control building and foundation situated north of the existing building in Adams Substation.
