Does CPS Energy perform environmental studies of the proposed routes/sites?
As part of CPS Energy’s and LCRA TSC’s processes, a consultant performs an initial analysis to identify environmental constraints in the study area. Additional information is solicited from the public during the open house meetings. This knowledge of environmental constraints helps us identify, modify or eliminate preliminary route segments. A detailed environmental impact study will be performed on the primary routes identified during Step 8 in the CPS Energy Routing/Siting process. Environmental constraints may include things like close proximity to homes, schools, endangered species habitats, parks and recreation areas, airports, floodplains, etc. A list of environmental criteria for this project can be found on the Web at cpsenergy.com.
