- APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION OF THE NORTH ANNA-LOUISA TRANSMISSION LINE AND THE LOUISA SUBSTATION Virginia Electric and Power Company (Vepco) respectfully shows as follows: -
- 1. Vepco is a public service corporation organized under the
- laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and furnishing electric service to i t j the public within its service territory in Virginia. Vepco also furnishes electric service to the public in portions of North Carolina and West Virginia.
Vepco's electric system, consisting of facilities for generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy, as well as associated 1
i facilities, is interconnected with the electric systems of neighboring i
utilities, and is a part of the interconnected network of electric systems l --- , serving the continental United States. By reason of its operations in l
three states and its interconnections with other utilities, Vepco is engaged in interstate commerce, j 2. In order to perform its legal duty to furnish adequate and l Y l re!{.able electric service, Vepco must, from time to time, construct new 1

electric facilities. The need for new electric facilities is directly related to the growth in demand for electricity on Verco's system. Vepco is anticipating an increased demand for electricity on its system and, as a result,*smst provide new capacity in generation, transmission and dis-
, tribution facilities through expansion and new construction
- 3. Two such facilities which must be constructed are the North Anna-Louisa transmission line and the Louisa Substation. The puR11c con-venience and necessity require that Vepco construct these facilities.
A. The line will begin at the North Anna nuclear power station and will terminate at the proposed Louisa Substation adjoining the Colonial Pipeline Pumping Station near Louisa, Virginia. The proposed route of the line and the substation location are shown on the Lcuisa County map labeled Exhibit A.
j B. The proposed transmission line and substation are necessary to meet the growth in demand for electricity on Vepco's system and for continued reliability of electric service. Existing rights-of-way cannot adequately serve this need. This necessity is described in greater detail in Exhibit B.
C. The proposed transmission line and substation are the best means of meeting this need for additional capacity and reliability.
The proposed route of the line reasonably minimizes adverse impact on the scenic, environmental and historic assets of the area concerned. The factors influencing Vepco's selection of the route of the transmission line are de-scribed in Exhibit C.
D. The proposed transmission line will be 230 kV construction, and will consist of poles, conductors, insulators and associated equipment.
l The line will be constructed to the extent practicable in accordance with I
the p,uidelines set forth by the Federal Power Commission in Appendix A.

Application No. 79 Exhibit B Sheet 1 of 3 NECESSITY FOR NORTH ANNA-LOUISA 230 KV LINE AND LOUISA 230-34 KV SUBSTATION The Charlettesville-Remington 115 kV transmission line now serving the area is a portion of a transmission line built during the early 1920's. It was operated as a 69 kV line, converted to 115 'kV operation and increased in wire size capacity in the late 50's and I
early 60's. Load growth along the route of the line made these changes necessary. Continued load growth.around substations at Gordonsville, Orange, Culpeper, Remington, and REA delivery points now makes it necessary to use additional measures to reinforce this vital trans-mission line. The first proposed reinforcement consists of establishing a 230 to 115 kV source at Remington through the construction of a Morrisville-Remington 230 kV transmission line from the proposed Morris-ville 500 kV Substation. The reinforcement at Remington is only a partial solution to the long range problem of serving the growing demand for electricity between Charlottesville and Remington. This 54 mile long line cannot be taken cut of service for rebuilding and must be rein-forced at some other point. Exhibit D shows the location of these facilities.
l This other point has been selected as Gordonsville Substation i
in order to take advantage of a 14.6 mile long transmission line which was built to serve the Colonial Pipeline Company near Louisa. This 230 kV line and Gordonsville Substation were previously approved by the Commission and the line has been operating at 115 kV, l
Conversion of the existing Gordonsville Louisa 115 kV line to 230 kV, and the construction of a new 14.7 alle 230 kV line from Louisa t

- Erhibit B Shsat 2 of 3 Gordonsville-Charlottesville section of line out of service at a future date so it can be rebuilt.
The proposed construction consists of a 14.7 mile section of single-circuit, 230 kV transmission line from North Anna generating station to the proposed Louisa Substation, adjacent to the Colonial Pipeline Substation. The proposed Louisa Substation will be for 230 to 34.5 kV operation and the present pipeline substation will be changed from 115 to 4 kV operation to 34.5 to 4 kV. In addition to serving the pipeline substation the Louisa substation will provide a new 34.5 kV source for the area load. The 115 kV transmission line from Gordonsville to Louisa will be converted from 115 kV to 230 kV operation. A 230 to 115 kV transformer will be installed at Gordonsville Substation to connect the 230 kV line from North Anna to the 115 kV system at Gordonsville.
The North Anna-Gordonsville 230 kV line, of which the North Anna-Louisa line is an integral part, will accomplish the following:
- 1. It will provide strong support for the Charlottesville-t Remington 115 kV line.
- 2. It will reinforce the present 115 kV supply to the Charlottesville area.
- 3. It will make a strong 230 kV supply available at Gordonsville, whence it can be extended over existing line routes to the Charlottesville area in the future.
~
- 4. With Louisa substation, it will provide a two-way supply
~
to the Louisa area.
By 1977 the Charlottesville-Remington 115 kV line will serve eight transmission substations with an aggregate projected peak load of 123 1*J. Studies show that loss of the Remington end of this line will k'
re'sult in a voltage drop of 17% at Culpeper. This excessive drop results

hp, . ; ., - ~/ -3 #' Application No. ~79
. . Exhibit B Shast 3 of 3 not only from the length and loading of the line but also from the in-adequacy of the 115 kV supply at Charlottesville. With a 230 to 115 kV l substction at Gordonsville, the voltage drop at Culpeper with the line ope.t at Remington will be negligible.
4 The 230 to 115 kV substation at Gordonsville will strengthen the 115 kV supply to the Charlottesville area such that, by 1978, it will supply 36% of the power to this area under normal circuit conditions.
1 In 1980, it is planned to extend the 230 kV system from Gordons-ville to Charlottesville to Farmville to provide a reliable supply for
{ the Southside Virginia area. This will be done by rebuilding circuits
- on existing rights-of-way. The 230 kV system will also be extended to Charlottesville from Dooms Substation near Waynesboro, over existing j lines which were designed and constructed for 230 kV operation.
The North Anna-Louisa ??O kV line is a most essential element in
- developing a 230 kV system in Central and Southside Virginia. Such a system will be necessary to carry the anticipated loads of the 1980's.
4 It is also necessary to provide much needed support for the 115 kV t
system supplying the Gordonsville, Orange and Culpeper areas.
s We have considered, as an alternate, the installation of a 500 s
to 230 kV substation in the vicinity of Palmyra, Fluvanna County. While this would establish a good supply for the Charlottesville and Farmville area, it would afford no solution to the immediate problem of the Charlottesville-Remington 115 kV line. A second alternate would be to i
-- rebuild the Charlottesville-Remington 115 kV line as a double circuit line with both 115 kV and 230 kV circuits, and a 230 to 115 kV substation near Orange; however, excessive voltage drop would result if one end of the line were taken out of service for rebuilding.

Applicction No. 79 Exhibit C Sheet 1 of 4 ROUTE SELECTION STATEMENT NORTH ANNA-LOUISA 230 KV LINE The proposed route for the transmission line and the location for the substation have been selected to minimize the conflict between,the troposed facilities and existing ard foreseeable land uses. This'has been accomplished chrough coordination of our activities with county officials and a thorough field reconnaissance by our engineers.
Specifically, we have selected a southwesterly route 14.6 miles long from the North Anna Substation to the proposed Louisa substation.
The route will follow an existing railroad & highway corridor for 3.9 miles and a new corridor for 10.7 miles. By expanding an existing i
variable-width railroad right-of-way, the route complies with guideline No.1 of the , Federal Power Commission's publication, Electric Power
~
Transmission and the Environment. This guideline encourages the use of existing rights-of-way to minimize the conflict between a new right-of-way ~
- ' and other proposed land uses. The parallel of the railroad will provide space for wire clearance on one side and reduce the width of new right-of-way required.
The route leaves the parallel of the railroad after 3.9 miles because the railroad corridor also closely parallels Routes 700, 522 and 22 and little or no screening exists between the railroad and highway. Avoid-
_ing an unobstructed view of a transmission line from a highway, complies with FPC guideline No. 29. This route will also comply with guideline No.3, which favors locating rights-of-way away from main highways such as Route 22.
In addition, we feel that the towns of Louisa and Mineral, which are on the t.
railroad, should be avoided.

< -u- @pHLFcNECn-'wo. W Exhibit C Shast 2of4 The exp2nsien of thm rcilrocd right-of-way for 3.9 niiss will require only an additional 7.7 acres to accommodate the power line. State i
Route 700 also occupies this corridor. The power line route lies between the railroad and the highway.
The new corridor, which departs westwardly from the railroad right-of-way is 10.7 miles long and 100 feet wide and contains approx-imately 130 scres. About 90 percent of the entire route is on forested l
land.
I l
The location of the proposed Louisa Substation site, adjacent l
to a Colonial Pipeline pumping station, is unobtrusive, thus satisfying l guideline No. 52. We propose to clear the perimeter of the site in a seicetive manner, leaving as much desirable vegetation as possible around the developed area. Additional plantings to supplement existing growth will be added if required.
Wit'in 0.8 mile of the preferred or alternate routes are eight identified , sac sites registered with the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission. They are not listed in the National Historic iandmarks Register. The three residences on Routes 659, 646 and 758 were built in i
the 1800's. The home on Route 644 was built about 1800 and the Pendleton railroad station was built in the late 19th century. Dates were not available for the remaining sites. Signf.ficant architectural features were not indicated. The two sites on Routes 646 and 700 are unoccupied. The historic site on Route 700 will be separated from the transmission line by Route 700 and a thin screen of trees. The power line will be nore densely
. ecreened from the other historic sites.
Alternate A leaves North Anna Substation in a southwesterly direction creating a new corridor between Contrary Creek and the vepco rail spur, and joins the proposed route south of Whitlock Millpond. This alter-k 3

Alternate B leaves the proposed route 0.23 mile west of Route 522 and continues in a southwesterly direction remaining north of Route 22 until it crosses that highway just east of a drive-in theater. It then joins the proposed route 0.15 mile northeast of Route 33. Louisa County authorities discouraged this alternate since it would conflict with future comrercial development of the area west of Route 625.
l Alternate C is the longest and southern-most investigated. It parallels the railroad, crosses th'e Chesapeake and Ohio railroad south of Route 618 and bypasses Mineral more than 1.5 miles south of the town.
The line crosses Route 33 between Route 605 and the proposed North Anna Watershed site No. 22. The alternate route then rejoins the proposed route south of Louisa sad r .st of Route 646. By paralleling the railroad, the alternate route is very close to several residences where the-line crosses Route 618. This factor and the unnecessary 3.4 miles of additional length were the reasons for abandoning Alternate C.
i Alternate D is a portion of the initial route we selected. However, at the suggestion of Louisa County officials, it was abandoned in favor of the proposed route. Alternate D parallels more railroad but also creates three unnecessary road crossings. It also passes closer to a proposed sub-division than the proposed route.
The proposed and alternate routes were presented in March, 1974
~~~'
to the Louisa County supervisors from Louisa, Mineral and Cuckoo districts; the chairman of the Louisa Planning Commission and the Louisa County Adminis-trator. Their review of the routes in April, 1974 prompted the relocation mentioned in the discussion of AIIternate D.

_TRANSMISSI'ON RIGHT-OF-WAY CLEARING NORTH ANNA - LOUISA 230 KV LINE The width of right-of-way associated with this project varies from 20 feet to 100 feet. The width required to be cleared for the most part will be 100 feet. This width is necessary to provide adequate and safe clearance of the electric line. Natural vegetation will be retained for screening in wooded areas where available. Special consideration will be given to selective i
clearing at all road crossings and particularly at Routes $22, 33, and 208.
j Desirable plant material will be preserved at these crossings in order to 1
I help screen the transmission facility from public view. '
Clearing Methods j The right-of-way in wooded areas will be logged where practicable i
to conserve and utilize natural resources. Merchantable timber and pulpwood will be sold at local sawmills for processing if sufficient timber. is available for this purpose. At certain locations, debris may be burned to improve the l , appearance of the right-of-way. Any disposal will be designed to leave the right-of-way in an acceptable condition. The disposal by burning, if j
approval is obtained from the State Air Pollution Control Board, shall i
j conform to the Board's rules.
l Property owners will be encouraged to utilize the area for agricul-1 l tural purposes and Vepco will contribute a maximum of $125 an acre to convert woody brush areas to areas of permanent cultivation. Individual owners have 1
i - the right to use this right-of way for farming, grazing, and growth of 1
} ornamental plants or Christmas trees. The owcars control public access to i
j their lands. The disturbed areas will be restored after construction.
These locations will be disced, fertilized, and seeded to establish a ground 1
L' coyk;. Such vegetation offers an attractive situation for wildlife habitat.

The use of these trans-mission corridors for wildlife food will tend to increase game and wildlife habitat at a time when the number of small farms and open areas is being reduced.
Maintenance Program The purpose of the right-of-way maintenance program will be to prevent interruptions to electric service and to provide for access to the rights-of-way in order to patrol and make emergency repairs. The methods used to achieve these objectives will be consistent with the land use pattern for the area.
The periodic maintenance treatments to control woody growth will consist of hand cutting, nachine moving, and chemical treatment. The first treatment will probably be made in 1978. Herbicides may be used on wooded areas to reduce the density of fast growing hardwood species to an acceptable level. Herbicides will not be used where the right-of-way is devoted to i agricultural use. Herbicides used to control woody vegetation are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Virginia Department of Agriculture. The rates used for these applications are recommended by the Agricultural Extension Service of VPI and SU.
This line will be located in a predominantly residential - agricultural area. Cates will be installed at cross fences to provide access to trans-
_____ mission facilities and to prevent damage to the fences and roads of the property owners. The property owners may use these gates for entrance to their fields. Areas with a residential - agricultural orientation will be managed in a manner consistent with the land use pattern. These areas willbe machine moved on a two to three year cycle.

Consequently, natural tree vegetation will be adequate for proper screening.
The only grading to be done will be that which is necessary to provide a suitable site for the construction of the substation. The fenced area vill be covered with a minimum of three inches of crushed stone.
Ditches will be constructed to control storm water runoff. Any embankments created by grading will be protected from erosion by the planting of Kentucky 31 fescue. All offsite drainage divides will be honored.
During construction all necessary steps will be taken to control l erosion and the resulting siltation. After construction, the aforementioned grass will provide erosion and siltation control.
