Power Line-Elkhorn Substation Capacity Expansion Project

MND - Mitigated Negative Declaration
Received
Present Land Use
The substation capacity expansion site would be located on land designated Public Facilities and zoned AG-80.
Document Description
The proposed Power Line-Elkhorn substation capacity expansion project would increase the footprint of the Power Line-Elkhorn substation by approximately 0.5 acre (from approximately 0.62 acre to approximately 1.12 acres). The proposed project would replace a 3.75 mega volt-amperes (MVA) transformer with a 25 MVA transformer, and a 12.5 MVA transformer with a 25 MVA transformer, thus increasing the capacity of the substation from 16.25 to 50 MVA. Additional improvements include a 69,000-volt (69-kV) bus structure and three 69-kV circuit breakers, new switchgear, new cement slabs for the equipment and grounding, and fencing to encompass the footprint of the substation. The existing 69-kV pole line would remain. Reconductoring would occur to increase ampacity for the capacity increase. Additionally, five new 12,000-volt (12-kV) feeders would be added (totaling eight 12-kV feeders), and the existing 69-kV pole arrangement to the transformers would be replaced. The existing substation site is connected to the Elverta Circuit #1 and the Natomas Circuit #2 existing overhead (69-kV) lines with SMUD's subtransmission grid system.
