How will environmental impacts be considered with siting this route?
Environmental impact assessments will be conducted once the route is determined, and the final route selection will be a result of the least-impact alternatives. Establishment of a transmission line that results in minimal effect on the environment requires extensive engineering and planning on the part of Allegheny engineers and environmental specialists. The objective of the evaluation is to identify a route that minimizes, to the extent possible, the impact to the study area while maintaining the ability to construct a safe and reliable transmission line.
