Implementation of the request would also entail construction of an onsite collector substation, internal service roads, an O&M facility, communication system cables, use of existing temporary meteorological towers (in operation up to three years), an electrical/power collection system. The project would also include approximately 10 miles of new gen-tie line to connect to the existing North Sky River Substation. A conditional use permit is required for temporary concrete batch plants.
