Transmission and Facility Siting - Current Projects
During the past 15 months APS has been working with representatives of the Coconino National Forest (CNF) to perform the evaluations and studies that are necessary to establish a utility right-of-way that would allow APS to construct a new 69kV power line. The new power line would connect the existing Flagstaff to Tuba City 69kV power line with the proposed Doney Park Substation. APS submitted an Environmental Assessment (EA) to the CNF in August, 2006 detailing the existing environmental conditions and the potential impacts of this project. On January 22, 2007 the CNF issued a Decision Notice and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on the project. The associated legal notice was published in the Arizona Daily Sun on January 25, 2007. You can view the FONSI and legal notice under the latest information section of this page. APS is now required to obtain the necessary approvals and permits from Coconino County for construction of the Doney Park Substation and for the portion of the new 69kV power line that is off of CNF property. APS expects to begin the process with Coconino County later in 2007. Construction of the new facilities is expected to begin in the fall of 2009 with operation in the spring of 2010. The new facilities will provide the capacity and reliability necessary to support the growing electrical needs of this area.
