Final EIR/EIS for Liberty Utilities project released

The final environmental document for the North Lake Tahoe-Truckee electrical line upgrade project proposed by California Pacific Electric Company, now known as Liberty Utilities, has been released.

The project would consist primarily of an upgrade of Liberty Utilities’ existing 625 and 650 power lines and associated substations from 60 kilovolts to 120 kilovolts to allow the entire North Lake Tahoe transmission system to operate at 120 kilovolts. The project is proposed to be constructed in a phased approach with the first installation being a rebuild of the 650 line.

The final EIR/EIS is available online.
