)
STN 50-519 STN 50-520 STN 50-521 In accordance with item 7 of section 4.5.2 of Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-150, CPPR-151, CPPR-152, and CPPR-153 issued on May 9, 1977, for the Hartsville Nuclear Plants, enclosed is the required information related to transmission line construction.
The location of the transmission line corridors are shown on the enclosed topographic maps (Enclosure 1).
The transmission line rights-of-way have been surveyed for potential environme.ntal impacts including archeological and historical significance, and a threatened and endangered species review. These surveys will allow TVA to locate, design, and construct the transmission line facilities in the most environmentally preferable manner.
Field investigations have defined environmentally ser.sitive areas that require specific attention (other than protection covered by TVA's general construction clearing procedures, Enclosure 2). These sensitive areas have been defined in three major categories:
1.
Cedar Glade communities, 2.
major highway crossings, and 3.
river crossings.
