Document Description
he Project proposed by DCRT consists of a single-circuit, series-compensated, 500 kV transmission
line between the Delaney Substation in Maricopa County, Arizona and the CRS in Riverside County, California. The Project
would be designed with a conductor capacity to transmit 3,200 megawatts and provide interconnection capability for new energy
projects located in the region. It would consist of a typically 200-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW), steel transmission structures, and
access roads. Temporary and permanent work areas would also be necessary to construct the towers, install the conductors,
and operate and maintain the transmission line.
The Project will result in impacts to 280.2 acres of Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) habitat including temporary impacts to
88.6 acres; the Project will permanently remove 14 acres of Desert Tortoise habitat. The project is expected to result in
incidental take of Desert Tortoise, which are designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act.
The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a
result of Project implementation.
