Tri-State Position Statement on EMF Health Effects
TRI-STATE GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION ASSOCIATION, INC.
HEADQUARTERS: P.O. BOX 33695 DENVER, COLORADO 80233-0695 303-452-6111
POSITION STATEMENT
Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF)
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) are found wherever there is a flow of electricity. such as in
the use of electric lights, appliances. computers. power lines, home wiring and any other
devices that carry or use electricity. The Earth itself also creates natural EMF in varying
amounts. Therefore, we are all continuously exposed to EMF as a result of living in a society
that so heavily relies on the use of electricity as a source of energy.
Some members of the public have raised concerns about EMF and health issues. We at Tri-
State Generation and Transmission Association are aware of these concerns and we wish to
express our position on EMF and our commitment to this matter.
Over the past four decades, thousands of scientific studies on EMF have been conducted
around the world. This very large body of research has been evaluated by leading public
health organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U S. National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The WHO currently concludes that
"despite extensive research. to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposures to low
level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health." The U.S. NIEHS reached a similar
conclusion in an earlier report. finding only "weak" and "marginal" evidence that EMF from
electric power could affect health.
The U.S. government has not recommended the standards for public exposures to electric
power EMF. The WHO has endorsed the exposure limits adopted by the International
Commission on Non -Ionizing Radiation (ICNIRP) and the International Committee for
Electromagnetic Safety (ICES). These limits are 2,000 mG (ICNIRP) and 9,040 mG (ICES).
The EMF levels that members of the public could experience from Tri-State power lines are
well below these recommended exposure limits.
Tri-State recognizes its responsibility to provide wholesale electric service at the lowest
possible cost in a manner that is safe. reliable and environmentally sound. This responsibility
includes designing and locating our facilities in accordance with the National Electric Safety
Code and applicable federal, state and local regulations. In addition. even though electric
power EMF have not been shown to cause adverse health effects. we will continue where
reasonable and practicable to design and operate new facilities in a way that will lower EMF
from those facilities.
Tri-State continues to support credible scientific research on EMF as a sponsor of the EMF
research program of the Electric Power Research Institute. We will continue to monitor the
results of these and other scientific studies. will provide information about EMF issues to our
member systems, our employees and our electric consumers and will respond promptly to
inquiries.

Lloyd Sisson 115kV Transmission Line Project
Weld County USR and 1041 Application
TOPIC
No.
STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES
General
G-1
The contractor shall comply with all federal, state, and local environmental laws, orders, and
regulations. Prior to construction, all supervisory construction personnel will be instructed on the
protection of cultural and ecological resources.
G-2
Prior to construction, Tri-State shall discuss with the contractor areas of environmental sensitivity within
the Project area and, in particular, those areas where a monitor must be present during construction.
Access Routes
AR -1
No construction activities will be performed during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately
support equipment and vehicles. If equipment or vehicles create ruts in excess of 4-6 inches deep for
a distance of 10 feet on native surface roads, the soil shall be deemed too wet to adequately support
construction equipment. If equipment or vehicles create ruts in excess of 1 inch deep on graveled
roads, the roads shall be deemed too wet to support construction equipment.
AR -2
Only the minimum amount of soils and vegetation necessary for the maintenance of access routes and
the safe and reliable operation of the transmission line will be disturbed. If excavation is necessary,
topsoil will be conserved and reused as cover on disturbed areas to facilitate re -growth of vegetation.
Vegetation will be cleared from those areas necessary to obtain adequate working width and turning
radius space for maintenance equipment and allow for the safe operation of the transmission line.
AR -3
Water bars on the access roads will be constructed as specified by Tri-State. Water bars will be
constructed to: 1) simulate the imaginary contour lines of the slope (ideally with a grade of 1 to 2%); 2)
drain away from the disturbed area; and 3) begin and end in vegetation or rock, whenever possible.

Biological Resources
BR -1
Vegetation shall be preserved and protected from damage by construction operations to the maximum
extent practicable. Removal of brush and trees will be limited to those necessary for access and
construction. There will be no clear cutting within the right-of-way unless specifically approved in
writing by Tri-State.
BR -2
Disturbed areas where vegetation has been removed by construction activities to the extent that the
potential for soil erosion is increased to a detrimental level will be subject to seedbed preparation
techniques, reseeded with an approved seed mixture, and mulched (if necessary) during a recognized
planting season. Mulching shall be applied only to those areas where potential erosion would prohibit
vegetation establishment and growth.
BR -3
The contractor shall not cross any wetland and riparian areas (of or relating to, or located on, the
banks of a river or stream), except at designated locations designated by Tri-State
BR -4
On completion of the work, all work areas, except any permanent access roads/trails, shall be
regraded, as required, so that all surfaces drain naturally, blend with the natural terrain, and are left in
a condition that will facilitate natural revegetation, provide for proper drainage, and prevent erosion.
BR -5
All disturbed areas, except the access route running surfaces, will be reseeded with seed mixes as
specified by Tri-State.
BR -6
All construction materials and debris shall be removed from the project area.
BR -7
To preclude avian electrocutions and minimize collision risk, Tri-State will incorporate Avian Protection
Plan (APP) guidelines developed by the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC 2006)
(APLIC and USFWS 2005) to protect birds on power lines, and NESC-specified electric conductor
clearances.
Cultural Resources
CR-1
Prior to construction, all supervisory construction personnel will be instructed on protection of cultural
resources with reference to relevant laws and penalties, and the need to cease work in the location if
cultural resource items are discovered.
CR-2
Should any previously unknown historic/prehistoric sites or artifacts be encountered during
construction, all land -altering activities at that location will be immediately suspended and the
discovery left intact until such time that Tri-State is notified and appropriate measures taken to assure
compliance the National Historic Preservation Act and enabling legislation.
Fire Prevention/Control
FP -1
Construction vehicles shall be equipped with government -approved spark arresters.
FP -2
The contractor shall maintain in all construction vehicles a current list of local emergency response
providers and methods of contact/communication.
Hazardous Materials
HM -1
Tri-State shall comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations existing or hereafter enacted or
promulgated regarding toxic substances or hazardous materials. In any event, Tri-State shall comply
with the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, as amended (15 U.S.C. 2601, et seq.) with regard to
any toxic substances that are used, generated by, or stored on the right-of-way or on facilities
authorized under this right-of-way grant (See 40 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), Part 702-799 and
especially, provisions on polychlorinated biphenyls, 40 CFR 761.1-761.193.). Additionally, any release
of toxic substances (leaks, spills, etc.) in excess of the reportable quantity established by 40 CFR, Part
117 shall be reported as required by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, section 102b. A copy of any report required or requested by any federal agency
or state government as a result of a reportable release or spill of any toxic substance shall be
furnished to the authorized officer concurrent with the filing of the reports to the involved federal
agency or state government.
HM -2
No bulk fuel storage will occur within the project right-of-way. All fuel and fluid spills within this area will
be handled in accordance with appropriate state and federal spill reporting and response

requirements. The contractor shall notify Tri-State of any spills so appropriate notifications can be
made to regulatory authorities.
HM -3
Any waste generated as a result of the proposed action will be properly disposed of in a permitted
facility. Solid waste generated during construction and periodic maintenance periods will be minimal.
All hazardous materials will be handled in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal
hazardous material statues and regulations.
Land Use
LU-1
All activities associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the transmission line will
take place within the authorized limits of the transmission line right-of-way and access routes.
Additional access routes or cross-country travel will not be allowed outside of the authorized routes
prior to review and approval by Tri-State.
LU-2
The contractor shall maintain all fences, brace panels, and gates during the construction period. Any
fence, brace panel, or gate damaged during construction will be repaired immediately by the
contractor to appropriate landowner or agency standards as determined by the authorized officer.
LU-3
The contractor shall eliminate, at the earliest opportunity, all construction ruts that are detrimental to
agricultural operations and/or hazardous to movement of vehicles and equipment. Such ruts shall be
leveled, filled, and graded, or otherwise eliminated in an approved manner. Damage to ditches, tile
drains, culverts, terraces, local roads, and other similar land use features shall be corrected as
necessary by the contractor. The land and facilities shall be restored as nearly as practicable to their
original condition.
LU-4
Structure foundation holes will not be left open overnight and will be covered. Covers will be secured
in place and will be strong enough to prevent livestock, wildlife, or the public from falling.
Noise
N-1
Construction vehicles and equipment shall be maintained in proper operating condition and shall be
equipped with manufacturers' standard noise -control devices or better (e.g., mufflers, engine
enclosures).
Noxious Weeds
NW -1
To minimize introduction of noxious weed seed sources to the project area, the following measures will
be performed. All heavy equipment utilized during construction will be washed prior to departure from
the equipment storage facility. Washing of equipment prior to transport from one work site to another is
not recommended, as on -site washing of equipment increases the chance of weed seed dispersal by
drainage of water off of the site, across an area greater than the size of the work site. Equipment will
have accumulations of mud 'knocked off instead. This method promotes containment of weed seeds
on the work site. All seed mixes and mulch used for reclamation activities will be certified weed -free.
Soils and Geology
S-1
The contractor shall mitigate soils compacted by movement of construction vehicles and equipment by
1) loosened and leveled harrowing or disking to approximate pre -construction contours and 2)
reseeding with certified weed -free grasses and mulched (except in cultivated fields). The specific seed
mix(s) and rate(s) of application will be determined by Tri-State.
S-2
Movement of construction vehicles and equipment shall be limited to the right-of-way and approved
access routes.
S-3
Excavated material not used in the backfilling of poles shall be spread around each pole, evenly
spread on the access routes in the immediate vicinity of the pole structure, or transported off site to a
Tri-State-approved disposal location. Disturbed areas shall then be regraded to approximate pre -
construction contours and reseeded as specified in S-1.
S-4
Topsoil will be removed, stockpiled, and re -spread at temporarily disturbed areas not needed for
maintenance access.
Traffic
T-1
The contractor shall make all necessary provisions for conformance with federal, state, and local traffic
safety standards and shall conduct construction operations so as to offer the least possible obstruction

and inconvenience to public traffic.
Water Quality and Erosion
WQ-1
Construction activities shall be performed by methods that prevent entrance or accidental spillage of
solid matter, contaminants debris, and other objectionable pollutants and wastes into flowing streams
or dry water courses, lakes, and underground water sources. Such pollutants and wastes include, but
are not restricted to, refuse, garbage, cement, concrete, sanitary waste, industrial waste, radioactive
substances, oil and other petroleum products, aggregate processing tailings, mineral salts, and
thermal pollution.
WQ-2
Dewatering work for structure foundations or earthwork operations adjacent to, or encroaching on,
streams or water courses shall not be performed without prior approval by Tri-State and appropriate
state agencies. Water and eroded materials will be prevented from entering the streams or
watercourses by constructing intercepting ditches, bypass channels, barriers, settling ponds, or other
approved methods.
WQ-3
Borrow pits shall be so excavated that water will not collect and stand therein. Before being
abandoned, the sides of borrow pits shall be brought to stable slopes, with slope intersections shaped
to carry the natural contour of adjacent, undisturbed terrain into the pit or borrow area, giving a natural
appearance. Waste piles shall be shaped to provide a natural appearance.
WQ-4
Excavated material or other construction materials shall not be stockpiled or deposited near or on
stream banks, lake shorelines, or other water course perimeters where they can be washed away by
high water or storm runoff or can in any way encroach upon the water source itself.
WQ-5
Waste waters from construction operations shall not enter streams, water courses, or other surface
waters without use of such turbidity control methods as settling ponds, gravel -filter entrapment dikes,
approved flocculating processes that are not harmful to fish, recirculation systems for washing of
aggregates, or other approved methods. Any such waste waters discharged into surface waters shall
be essentially free of settleable material. Settleable material is defined as that material that will settle
from the water by gravity during a 1 -hour quiescent period.
WQ-6
A Storm Water Management Plan shall be developed, if required, to address all construction and
reconstruction activities. The plan shall conform with all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
Best Management Practices requirements.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners. community officials, engineers. developers, builders. and home buyers.
Also. conservationists. teachers. students. and specialists in recreation. waste
disposal. and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand!
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State. and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm. local, and wider area
planning. onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations. and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its
programs and activities on the basis of race. color. national origin, age. disability.
and where applicable, sex. marital status, familial status. parental status. religion,

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes: the general pattern of drainage: the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently. soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate. water
resources. soils. biological resources, and land uses (USDA. 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology. landforms, relief. climate. and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform. a soil scientist develops a concept. or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly. individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map. however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture. size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments. distribution of plant roots, reaction. and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties. the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area. they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components: the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping. intensity of mapping. design of map units. complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined. a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements. such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt. clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress. samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions. and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example. data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
6

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees. buildings,
fields. roads. and rivers all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions. along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape. however. the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely. if ever. can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently. every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.

Custom Soil Resource Report
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit. and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however. have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting. or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed. and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however.
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer. all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness. and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness.
salinity. degree of erosion. and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences. a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example. Alpha
silt loam. 0 to 2 percent slopes. is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes. associations. or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex. 0 to 6 percent slopes. is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area. it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association. 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
12
Custom Soil Resource Report
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Soil Information for All Uses
Suitabilities and Limitations for Use
The Suitabilities and Limitations for Use section includes various soil interpretations
displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in the
selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated by
aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each interpretation.
Building Site Development
Building site development interpretations are designed to be used as tools for
evaluating soil suitability and identifying soil limitations for various construction
purposes. As part of the interpretation process, the rating applies to each soil in its
described condition and does not consider present land use. Example
interpretations can include corrosion of concrete and steel, shallow excavations,
dwellings with and without basements, small commercial buildings_ local roads and
streets. and lawns and landscaping.
Small Commercial Buildings
Small commercial buildings are structures that are less than three stories high and
do not have basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of
reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at the depth of
maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. The ratings are based on the soil
properties that affect the capacity of the soil to support a load without movement
and on the properties that affect excavation and construction costs. The properties
that affect the load -supporting capacity include depth to a water table, ponding,
flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink -swell potential). and compressibility
(which is inferred from the Unified classification of the soil). The properties that
affect the ease and amount of excavation include flooding, depth to a water table,
ponding. slope. depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a
cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to
which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified use.
"Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the
specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected.
32
Custom Soil Resource Report
"Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately
favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by
special planning, design. or installation. Fair performance and moderate
maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more
features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot
be overcome without major soil reclamation. special design, or expensive
installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are
shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the
use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary
by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer
are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated rating class is
shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit are only those
that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The percent composition
of each component in a particular map unit is presented to help the user better
understand the percentage of each map unit that has the rating presented.
Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The
ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating. can be
viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil
Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to
validate these interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.

Land Classifications
Land Classifications are specified land use and management groupings that are
assigned to soil areas because combinations of soil have similar behavior for
specified practices. Most are based on soil properties and other factors that directly
influence the specific use of the soil. Example classifications include ecological site
classification, farmland classification, irrigated and nonirrigated land capability
classification, and hydric rating.
Farmland Classification
Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland. farmland of
statewide importance. farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. It identifies
the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food. feed. fiber, forage,
and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime and unique farmlands are
published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43 No. 21. January 31. 1978.

Soil Properties and Qualities
The Soil Properties and Qualities section includes various soil properties and
qualities displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in
the selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated
by aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each property or quality.
Soil Erosion Factors
Soil Erosion Factors are soil properties and interpretations used in evaluating the
soil for potential erosion. Example soil erosion factors can include K factor for the
whole soil or on a rock free basis. T factor. wind erodibility group and wind erodibility
index.
K Factor, Whole Soil
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation
(USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the
average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year.
The estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand. and organic matter
and on soil structure and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). Values of K range
from 0.02 to 0.69. Other factors being equal. the higher the value. the more
susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water.
"Erosion factor Kw (whole soil)" indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The
estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments.

Wind Erodibility Index
The wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating the susceptibility of soil to
wind erosion, or the tons per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to wind
erosion. There is a close correlation between wind erosion and the texture of the
surface layer, the size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments, organic
matter, and a calcareous reaction. Soil moisture and frozen soil layers also
influence wind erosion.

Linear Extensibility
Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of an unconfined clod as moisture
content is decreased from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the volume
change between the water content of the clod at 1/3- or 1/10 -bar tension (33kPa or
10kPa tension) and oven dryness. The volume change is reported as percent
change for the whole soil. The amount and type of clay minerals in the soil influence
volume change.
For each soil layer. this attribute is actually recorded as three separate values in the
database. A low value and a high value indicate the range of this attribute for the
soil component. A "representative" value indicates the expected value of this
attribute for the component. For this soil property. only the representative value is
used.

properties. Example soil qualities include natural drainage, and frost action. Soil
features are attributes that are not directly part of the soil. Example soil features
include slope and depth to restrictive layer. These features can greatly impact the
use and management of the soil.
Drainage Class
"Drainage class (natural)" refers to the frequency and duration of wet periods under
conditions similar to those under which the soil formed. Alterations of the water
regime by human activities, either through drainage or irrigation. are not a
consideration unless they have significantly changed the morphology of the soil.
Seven classes of natural soil drainage are recognized -excessively drained,
somewhat excessively drained, well drained, moderately well drained. somewhat
poorly drained, poorly drained. and very poorly drained. These classes are defined
in the "Soil Survey Manual."

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists. urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www. nres. usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units. complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
6

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely. if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit. and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into Iandforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer. all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness. and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope. stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences. a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example. Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes. associations. or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area. it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association. 0 to 2 percent slopes. is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas. or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils. 0 to 2 percent slopes. is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Soil Information for All Uses
Suitabilities and Limitations for Use
The Suitabilities and Limitations for Use section includes various soil interpretations
displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in the
selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated by
aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each interpretation.
Building Site Development
Building site development interpretations are designed to be used as tools for
evaluating soil suitability and identifying soil limitations for various construction
purposes. As part of the interpretation process, the rating applies to each soil in its
described condition and does not consider present land use. Example
interpretations can include corrosion of concrete and steel, shallow excavations,
dwellings with and without basements, small commercial buildings. local roads and
streets, and lawns and landscaping.
Small Commercial Buildings
Small commercial buildings are structures that are less than three stories high and
do not have basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of
reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at the depth of
maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. The ratings are based on the soil
properties that affect the capacity of the soil to support a load without movement
and on the properties that affect excavation and construction costs. The properties
that affect the load -supporting capacity include depth to a water table, ponding,
flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink -swell potential), and compressibility
(which is inferred from the Unified classification of the soil). The properties that
affect the ease and amount of excavation include flooding, depth to a water table,
ponding, slope, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a
cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to
which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified use.
"Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the
specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected.
15
Custom Soil Resource Report
"Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately
favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by
special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate
maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more
features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot
be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive
installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are
shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations
between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the
use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The map unit components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary
by Map Unit table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer
are determined by the aggregation method chosen. An aggregated rating class is
shown for each map unit. The components listed for each map unit are only those
that have the same rating class as listed for the map unit. The percent composition
of each component in a particular map unit is presented to help the user better
understand the percentage of each map unit that has the rating presented.
Other components with different ratings may be present in each map unit. The
ratings for all components, regardless of the map unit aggregated rating, can be
viewed by generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil
Survey or from the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to
validate these interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.

Land Classifications
Land Classifications are specified land use and management groupings that are
assigned to soil areas because combinations of soil have similar behavior for
specified practices. Most are based on soil properties and other factors that directly
influence the specific use of the soil. Example classifications include ecological site
classification, farmland classification, irrigated and nonirrigated land capability
classification, and hydric rating.
Farmland Classification
Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland of
statewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. It identifies
the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed, fiber, forage,
and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime and unique farmlands are
published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21, January 31, 1978.

Soil Properties and Qualities
The Soil Properties and Qualities section includes various soil properties and
qualities displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in
the selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated
by aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each property or quality.
Soil Erosion Factors
Soil Erosion Factors are soil properties and interpretations used in evaluating the
soil for potential erosion. Example soil erosion factors can include K factor for the
whole soil or on a rock free basis. T factor; wind erodibility group and wind erodibility
index.
K Factor, Whole Soil
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation
(USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the
average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year.
The estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand and organic matter
and on soil structure and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). Values of K range
from 0.02 to 0.69. Other factors being equal. the higher the value, the more
susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water.
"Erosion factor Kw (whole soil)" indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The
estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments.

Wind Erodibility Index
The wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating the susceptibility of soil to
wind erosion, or the tons per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to wind
erosion. There is a close correlation between wind erosion and the texture of the
surface layer. the size and durability of surface clods. rock fragments. organic
matter. and a calcareous reaction. Soil moisture and frozen soil layers also
influence wind erosion.

Soil Physical Properties
Soil Physical Properties are measured or inferred from direct observations in the
field or laboratory. Examples of soil physical properties include percent clay, organic
matter, saturated hydraulic conductivity, available water capacity, and bulk density.
Linear Extensibility
Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of an unconfined clod as moisture
content is decreased from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the volume
change between the water content of the clod at 1/3- or 1/10 -bar tension (33kPa or
10kPa tension) and oven dryness. The volume change is reported as percent
change for the whole soil. The amount and type of clay minerals in the soil influence
volume change.
For each soil layer, this attribute is actually recorded as three separate values in the
database. A low value and a high value indicate the range of this attribute for the
soil component. A "representative" value indicates the expected value of this
attribute for the component. For this soil property, only the representative value is
used.

Soil Qualities and Features
Soil qualities are behavior and performance attributes that are not directly
measured, but are inferred from observations of dynamic conditions and from soil
properties. Example soil qualities include natural drainage, and frost action. Soil
features are attributes that are not directly part of the soil. Example soil features
include slope and depth to restrictive layer. These features can greatly impact the
use and management of the soil.
Drainage Class
"Drainage class (natural)" refers to the frequency and duration of wet periods under
conditions similar to those under which the soil formed. Alterations of the water
regime by human activities, either through drainage or irrigation, are not a
consideration unless they have significantly changed the morphology of the soil.
Seven classes of natural soil drainage are recognized -excessively drained,
somewhat excessively drained, well drained, moderately well drained, somewhat
poorly drained, poorly drained, and very poorly drained. These classes are defined
in the "Soil Survey Manual."

p. How many parking spaces are proposed? How many handicapped (ADA) parking spaces are
proposed?
No parking spaces are proposed for this project. Vehicles will park inside the substation fence
during inspections and maintenance. Vehicles will park at the staging area or on the transmission
line right-of-way during construction.
q. Describe the proposed screening for all parking and outdoor storage areas.
No screening is being proposed for the staging area due to its proximity to an existing substation
and its distance from any residences.
r. Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site.
Existing landscape consists of native vegetation and agricultural crops_ No landscaping is
proposed in association with construction of the transmission line or substation.
s. Describe the type of fence or other screening proposed for the site.
The substation will be fenced with a chain -link security fence to prevent public access.
t. Describe reclamation procedures to be employed as stages of the operation are phased out or upon
cessation of the Use by Special Review activity.
Tri-State will exercise care to preserve the natural landscape and will conduct its construction
operations so as to prevent any unnecessary destruction. scarring, or defacing of the natural
surroundings in the vicinity of the work. Mitigation practices described in Appendix C of the Weld
County 1041 Application will be implemented to minimize impacts to environmental resources.
Except where clearing is required for permanent works or excavation operations, all trees, native
shrubbery. and vegetation will be preserved and protected from damage by the construction
operations and equipment.
Lloyd Sisson 115kV Transmission Line Project
Weld County USR and 1041 Application
On completion of the work. all work areas except existing access roads and substation site would
be revegetated as soon as practical using a landowner approved seed mixture. Alternatively, in
areas where mutually agreed to by Tri-State and landowner, the ground shall be scarified or left in
a condition that would facilitate natural revegetation, provide for proper drainage, and prevent
erosion. Site -specific revegetation measures would be developed after consultation with the
landowner.
u. Describe the proposed fire protection measures.
The proposed Project is located in Pawnee Fire Protection District. All applicable fire laws and
regulations, as outlined in the Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) 31-16-601, would be observed
during the construction period. Tri-State would advise construction personnel of their
responsibilities under the applicable fire laws and regulations, including taking practical measures
to report and suppress fires.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
The Weld County Code. Chapter 22, Comprehensive Plan, has been reviewed and the proposed
substation and transmission line are consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, including
Land Use. Environmental Resources. and Natural Resources
The proposed substation and transmission line are located in the Agriculture Zone. Although the
transmission line is not an agricultural use, it is a land use that is commonly located in agricultural
areas and does not conflict with the goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Ground disturbance
for transmission lines is generally limited to the area immediately around the base of each pole. The
Lloyd Sisson Substation would occur on lands removed from agricultural, but agricultural practices
could continue on adjacent lands.
Impacts to environmental resources such as air. water. waste. noise. and public health would be
minimal and limited to the construction period (see Sections 21-3-330.B.5.g, 21 3-330.B 12, and 21 3-
330.B.15). Mitigation practices described in Appendix C of this Weld County 1041 Application would
be implemented to minimize impacts to environmental resources.
Natural resources such as sensitive wildlife areas. recreation areas. and mineral and energy
resources would not be impacted by the proposed Project. Affects to and proposed mitigation for
sensitive wildlife are described in the Wildlife and Critical Wildlife Habitat section and Appendix C of
this Weld County 1041 Application. No parks. open space or recreation areas are located near the
Project. No oil and gas wells and associated facilities occur within 200 feet of the proposed
transmission line and substation. Detailed design of the transmission lines will ensure that poles are
located to avoid any impact on oil and gas facilities.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is located. (Intent
statements can be found at the beginning of each zone district section in Article III of Chapter 23.)
The proposed Project is located within the Agricultural Zone District. Major facilities of public utilities
may be constructed, operated. and maintained in the Agricultural Zone District upon approval of a
Lloyd Sisson 115kV Transmission Line Project
Weld County USR and 1041 Application
permit in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in Article II. Division 4 of
Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code. Major facilities of a public utility are also subject to the
provisions of section 23-4-420. This section of the code states that the applicant shall have the
burden of proof to demonstrate that there is a need for the facility within the proposed area of service:
this is discussed in the Purpose and Need section of this Weld County 1041 Application.
4. Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area or
adopted master plans of affected municipalities.
This proposal will allow for the continued growth and support of oil and gas operations within the
county. as well as provide continued electric reliability for surrounding residential and agricultural
uses.
5. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the proposal is located
within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard, or Historic Town sites Overlay Districts) or
a Special Flood Hazard Area identified by maps officially adopted by the County.
The Project does not occur within any Overlay District Area identified by the County.
6. If the proposed use is to be located in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, explain your efforts to conserve
prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
One soil type (157 acres) along the transmission line is designated as Farmland of Statewide
Importance. Two soil types (16.4 acres) are designated as Prime Farmland. if irrigated. However.
placement of the transmission line structures would not preclude the use of farmland under the
suspended transmission line. and only a small portion of the soils in the 100 -foot right-of-way would
be disturbed for the Project (approximately 2.5 acres of permanent disturbance for the transmission
line). Additionally. transmission structures will be designed to accommodate agricultural operations, to
the extent feasible. based on discussions with the landowners. The 7.5 acre Substation site is
considered Farmland of Statewide Importance. but is only a small subdivision of a larger 627 -acre
parcel that continues to be farmed. See Section 21 -3 -330.B.15 —Hydrologic. Atmospheric, Geologic.
Pedologic. Biotic, Visual, and Noise Impacts.
7. Explain whether this proposal interferes with the protection of health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
All Tri-State electric facilities are designed. constructed, operated, and maintained to meet or exceed
all applicable standards of design and performance set forth in the National Electrical Safety Code
(NESC 2012). See also Section 21-3-330.B.5.g—Hazards and Emergency Procedures.

will generally occur along Interstate 25, Highway 14. and County Roads 77 and 89 Highway 85
could also be used. as well as County Road 71 into Wyoming.
d. Describe the travel distribution along the routes (e.g. 50% of traffic will come from the north, 20%
from the south, 30% from the east, etc.).
During construction, it is expected that approximately 60 percent of the traffic will come from the
Denver Metro Area along 1-25 and Highway 85. Highway 14 and County Roads 77 and 89.
Approximately 30 percent of the traffic could come from Wyoming along County Road 71. and the
remainder could come from miscellaneous routes. possibly from Sidney. Nebraska along 1-80.
e. Describe the time of day that you expect the highest traffic volumes to and from the site.
One 10 -hour shift per day would be worked during constructiori the site would be monitored
remotely during operation. The highest traffic volumes would be expected when construction
personnel are entering the site in the morning and exiting the site in the evenings.
2. Describe where the access to the site is planned.
Existing access to the Keota Substation would be used to access the staging area A new access
road would be required off of County Road 130 for the Lloyd Sisson Substation. Tri-State will submit
Access Road Permit applications where required and will comply with all County design standards.

Building Questions
1. List the type, size (square footage), and number of existing and proposed structures. Show and label all
existing and proposed structures on the USR drawing. Label the use of the building and the square
footage.
No buildings are proposed and there are no existing structures on the property. An electric equipment
enclosure (EEE) will be installed within the substation to store control. relay, and metering equipment.
These EEEs are constructed from pre-engineered metal panels, structural metal framing or poured
concrete. They contain wiring methods and electrical equipment that is concealed or inaccessible for
inspection. These structures are often delivered with a UL Certificate of Inspection ensuring
compliance with the National Electric Code (NEC).
The International Building Code (IBC), which has been adopted by Weld County, exempts electrical
equipment enclosures from building permits:
Section [A] 105.23... "a permit shall not be required for the installation. alteration or repair of
generation, transmission, distribution or metering or other related equipment that is under the
ownership and control of public service agencies by established right".
2. Explain how the existing structures will be used for this USR.
There are no existing structures on the property proposed for the substation. The existing Keota
Substation property will be used for construction staging The proposed transmission line will follow
the existing 345 -kV transmission line. but will occur in its own right-of-way and on its own structures_
