Merced County: Ag /A-1 (Transmission line); City of Merced: Manufacturing industrial/I-H (substation)
Document Description
MID plans to build approximately 13.1 miles of double-circuit 115 kV transmission lines with double circuit 21 kV underbuild and a 115-21 kV substation to connect the existing MID 115 kV lines on SR 99 west of the City of Merced to a new substation in the southeastern corner of the City of Merced. The EIR identifies the Reduced Project - Substation and 21 kV Distribution Line Alternative as the environmentally superior alternative. This alternative does not involve construction of a 115 kV transmission line, yet achieves the most of the project's objectives while avoiding some of the project's significant impacts.
