6. Proposed Facilities Description

The subject application describes the facilities proposed and related costs, and includes a map of the Project and a PEA.

This particular site was selected from amongst a number of alternatives after consultation with the City of Visalia to determine which site would provide proximity to an existing 66 kV line while disrupting a minimal number of existing residences.

Similarly, the decision to use underground construction of the subtransmission line was made with consideration to the planned residential development of the community.

SCE also included a list of governmental agencies that were contacted regarding the Project. These agencies include: the City of Visalia, California regarding construction of the project within the city limits; and the California Native American Heritage Commission (CNAHC) regarding submittal of the cultural resources report. The City of Visalia had not formally responded by the filing date of the application. The City of Visalia was consulted during the Commission's environmental review process, and did not present any objections.
