What is involved in selecting a route for this transmission line?
Lone Star gathered background data about the areas through which the line will run. This included a desktop study, site visits and preparing regional maps that show areas suitable for locating the transmission line. Next, Lone Star identified several alternative preliminary routes and gathered public input by meeting with local government officials and holding public open house meetings at locations along the proposed routes. Following this, Lone Star evaluated each of the preliminary routes to minimize the line’s impact on area residents and the environment. Finally, Lone Star identified the preferred and alternate routes and submitted them in the application to the PUCT. Lone Star expects the PUCT will make the final determination after hearing evidence and input from all affected parties who participate in the case.
