Purpose and Need for the Facility
..
.'
',,)

.'-'...' """'-'
.,
t·, C)
The purpose of the proposed power line is to provide electricity to the Verne cathodic protection
system. The buried power line would extend ftom an existing power pole to the Verne rectifier,
which is within the previously authorized Verne Block Valve facility. Thirty feet of
permanent/temporary right-of-way would be needed for the project.
Facility Design Factors
The power line would be constructed of small diameter (3 #4 THNN wire) power cable and
conduit. The line would be installed using traditional open cut techniques. The length of the
proposed right-of-way is approximately 382 ft. The width of the permanent/temporary right-of-
way would be 30 ft.
RiJilit-of- W ay Location
The right-of-way would be located in TI9N, R112W, Section 30, Lincoln County, Wyoming.
Rehabilitation of the Ri£ht-of-Way after Construction
Any surface disturbance would be reclaimed, recontoured, and reseeded (if necessary) to
resemble the conditions prior to construction.
Termination and Restoration
The term of the right-of-way grant would be 30 years. If the grant terminates and is not renewed,
the power line would be left in place.
Schedule
The proposed construction will take place in the spring of 2007 as soon as all necessary
clearances and permissions are received. It is anticipated that construction of the power line,
including reclamation, would take 2 weeks to complete.
Additional Area for Sta£ing
No additional staging areas would be required for construction of the power line. Vehicles
would be parked in existing approved areas.
