Taken from an email by Matt about a proposed
Power Line transmission line that could go through Argyle
Canyon
-----------------------------
. If the existing one is approved, anyone
of us with power lines or poles on our properties will
forfeit a 250’ wide right of way on our properties
and road construction/land clearing if you happen to have
one of the large power structure on your land like mine
would be.
They would clear all trees etc. for a 250’ wide
path anywhere the power lines would be planned and they
would make a large impact on the land with the construction
equipment needed to pour footings for the structures,
run power lines, etc.
We would also have to deal with the what they call the
“Corona” effect which is put off by the 500
KV line in foul/wet weather causing a loud humming or
popping noise which would also take away from the silence
we now enjoy.
This also has the potential to interfere with any electronic
devices such as cell phone service, and in my case the
Direct TV signal I receive which is currently right in
line with the proposed route through my property. ( I
mainly use the service in the winter time when we snowmobile
in there and would be the worst time for the Corona effect
I mentioned).
Pacific Corp. has been good about notifying those that
the line would cross or be on their properties, however,
for those that it does not, or are close to the proposed
line have not been directly notified of this plan.
