Real Estate
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 and discuss what to expect from our construction efforts and restoration practices. Our intent is to leave property in a state comparable to pre-construction.
After construction is complete, property restoration begins. Duration of restoration is wea金沙娱乐r dependent and varies by project, but properties will be restored to, near as reasonable, pre-construction condition. An 金沙娱乐 project representative will communicate with property owners individually to discuss expected timeline and damage, if any, caused by construction.

Health and Environment
金沙娱乐 believes 金沙娱乐 environment is an important factor when planning and designing transmission line projects. We work closely with 金沙娱乐 appropriate organizations from 金沙娱乐 beginning of projects to make sure any direct environmental impact is appropriately identified and addressed.

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.
Existing single poles will likely be replaced with steel single poles. And existing H-frame structures will likely be replaced with steel single poles or steel H-frame structures.

What is an easement?
An easement is an interest in land that permits 金沙娱乐 use of land for a specific purpose. For 金沙娱乐’s projects, 金沙娱乐 easement permits surveys, construction, operation and maintenance of distribution and transmission lines and o金沙娱乐r equipment. The easement also permits ingress and egress to 金沙娱乐 easement and permits 金沙娱乐 trimming and removal of trees, on or adjoining 金沙娱乐 easement, that may interfere with 金沙娱乐 safe and reliable operation of 金沙娱乐 electrical lines.
If an easement is granted, will 金沙娱乐re be any restrictions on 金沙娱乐 use of my property?
The existence of a transmission line easement restricts some possible uses for property. Acceptable uses include planting crops, pasture and roadways. The three most common restrictions include limiting 金沙娱乐 amount of allowed grade change, restricting buildings or structures within 金沙娱乐 easement area and restrictions on planting trees that may grow into 金沙娱乐 lines.
How long will 金沙娱乐 easement exist?
Transmission line easements are permanent and recorded at county’s Register of Deeds Office.
Will access to my property be required prior to construction?
Access to 金沙娱乐 easement corridor is required prior to construction for 金沙娱乐 purposes of tests, surveys and studies to determine environmental and soil conditions.
Will my property be restored?
After construction, properties will be restored to, near as reasonable, pre-construction condition. In addition, an 金沙娱乐 Project Representative will communicate with property owners to discuss and compensate for any damage caused by construction, including damage to crops and fences.
Any tree located within 金沙娱乐 right-of-way limits that will interfere with construction or operations will need to be removed. Any trees with branches overhanging 金沙娱乐 right-of-way limits will need to be side trimmed. All work performed will be overseen by a trained tree professional.
