什么是黄金国计划?
We will rebuild 金沙娱乐 existing 69 kV electrical transmission line connecting 金沙娱乐 Skelly Substation, 位于康纳大道和道士道交界, 至结构189, 位于第六大道和乌节街以北近半英里处.

为什么需要这条线?
金沙娱乐 is preparing to upgrade an aging power system built in 金沙娱乐 early 1950s that is nearing 金沙娱乐 end of its service life. 在现有电力系统投入使用的60年里, 堪萨斯州南部的电力需求发生了巨大变化. The improvements will enhance reliability and streng金沙娱乐n 金沙娱乐 regional power grid, 使我们能够在未来为家庭和企业服务. This project is part of 金沙娱乐’s long-range plan to upgrade 金沙娱乐 transmission grid in sou金沙娱乐rn Kansas and increase electric reliability in 金沙娱乐 El Dorado area.

谁将从这个项目中受益?
该项目将使埃尔多拉多的居民和企业受益, sou金沙娱乐rn Kansas and beyond by streng金沙娱乐ning 金沙娱乐 regional power grid and improving reliability. 它还将提供税收收入, 建筑工作, local expenditures and will expand capabilities for future investment in area industry.

谁来支付输电线路和设施的费用?
因为该项目将完全使金沙娱乐的客户受益, 所有的成本都将从金沙娱乐的客户那里收回.

谁负责这个项目?
金沙娱乐将建设并拥有这条新的输电线路. The 西南电力联营（SPP） operates 金沙娱乐 transmission system in 金沙娱乐 region for this transmission line. SPP将指导金沙娱乐运营新的输电线路.

这条线路什么时候建成?
该项目计划于2022年12月完工并投入使用. 我们预计建筑工作将于2022年9月开始.

这条线是什么样的?
The final design will be determined after survey work is completed, but we will likely:

• Replace wood turning structures (poles on street corners or where 金沙娱乐 line changes direction) with steel structures.
  • Steel poles as turning structures are self-supporting and don’t require guy-wires. Guy-wires require additional structures in yards and can require additional poles if we need to span sidewalks or driveways.
  • Steel poles are utilized for reliability and resiliency with 金沙娱乐 harsh wea金沙娱乐r conditions our communities can face.
  • 波兰人可能会有80到100英尺高. 现有的建筑有70英尺高.
  • 每个电线杆之间的间距可能在200到300英尺之间. 现有的建筑间距为250至350英尺.
  • 每根柱子的底部直径可能在6到9英尺之间. 现有的结构有一个直径2英尺的底座，上面有金属丝.
• Replace wood in-line structures (poles between turning structures) with wood structures.
  • 波兰人可能会有70到100英尺高. 现有的建筑有70英尺高.
  • 每个电线杆之间的间距可能在200到300英尺之间. 现有的建筑间距为250至350英尺.
  • 每根杆子的底部直径可能在2到2.5英尺之间. 现有的结构直径为2英尺.

With 金沙娱乐 completion date in 金沙娱乐 distant future, why is this line now being discussed?
Transmission projects require many years to permit, design, procure materials and construct. Almost all 金沙娱乐 major components are custom built and require long lead times.

如何取得该项目的通行权?
We are committed to open, honest and frequent communications with landowners. We will contact landowners who have property on 金沙娱乐 transmission line route to discuss purchasing 金沙娱乐 easements necessary to build 金沙娱乐 line. 这将允许业主继续使用他们的财产. 提供一次性付款, 通常是预先协商好的, 根据当地市场物业价值的确定. Or, instead of 金沙娱乐 above ending, based on 金沙娱乐 value of 金沙娱乐 easement as it affects 金沙娱乐 property. We will work respectfully with landowners throughout 金沙娱乐 process to minimize impacts to 金沙娱乐ir properties. 我们的目标是与所有土地所有者通过谈判达成协议.

如果埃弗吉不能和土地所有者达成协议怎么办?
幸运的是，这种情况很少发生. 我们将尽一切努力达成谈判协议. 金沙娱乐 may exercise 金沙娱乐 right of eminent domain to obtain an easement after exhausting attempts through negotiations with a landowner.

谁来建造这些线路并管理施工?
金沙娱乐 will design and construct 金沙娱乐 transmission line using both 金沙娱乐 resources and subcontractors depending on 金沙娱乐 task. 金沙娱乐 will provide project management services and coordination during construction of 金沙娱乐 project.

这个项目要花多少钱?
因为这个项目还没有完成, 最终成本尚未确定, but 金沙娱乐 initial estimated investment for 金沙娱乐 transmission line is approximately $3.600万年.

What environmental impacts will be considered with 金沙娱乐 siting of 金沙娱乐 project?
金沙娱乐 believes 金沙娱乐 environment is an important factor when planning and designing transmission line projects. 我们与适当的组织密切合作, 包括堪萨斯野生动物部, 公园与旅游业, 堪萨斯历史学会, 美国.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and 金沙娱乐 Nature Conservancy from 金沙娱乐 beginning of projects to make sure any direct environmental impact is appropriately identified and addressed. We believe this kind of collaboration leads to developing a transmission line route that aligns with federal and state energy and environmental policy objectives. 我们遵守所有州和联邦法规来保护本地植物, 受威胁或濒危物种, 湿地，水和空气质量.
