SACKGROUND INFORMATION: Negotiations' between City staff and P.G&E have produced
mutual letters of Intent which initiate the environmental impact review stage of
the proposed substatiort project.
This new substation will be the power supply interconnection point between the
City's electrical system and the 60-kv PG&E. transmission system. PG&E has agreed
to upgrade its system to provide reliable and adequate power transfer to the City.
Additionally, this new substation Will alleviate a serious maintenance arlg
operation problem with Which the City has had to cope for naW years.
ower Engineers Incorporated has prepared a project plan and supplied, preliminary
ngineering design support for our negotiations.
The commitment of the parties and the project plan are at a point where the City
needs to deveiop a Graft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) which will require a
preliminary general arrangement plan and substation design criteria.

DIRECT INTERCONNECTION PROJECT
ENVIRONM ENTAL IMPACT REPORT
1.0 SUMMARY
1.1 introduction
The City of Lodi, through its membership in the Northern California Power Agency
(NCPA), is proposing to construct an electrical transmission line direct
interconnection with Western Area Power Administration's (WESTERN) existing
transmission system. The proposal, if approved and implemented, would consist of
a double circuit 230 kV, single steel pole line, a 230kV switching station to connect to
WESTERN transmission lines, and a 230kV-6OkV substation. The Project will be
financed entirely by the City of Lodi. This document was prepared pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); (40 CFR Part 1500, S e c. 102(2), and CA
PRCSec. 21000). See Appendix A for Initial Study conducted pursuant to CEQA.
1.2 Purpose and Need
Construction of the Direct interconnection Project with WESTERN would allow the
City to meet its long range electric service cost, capacity and reliability goals by:
1. Minimizing the long-term cost of service to the City's electric customers
through rate stabilization, by reducing transmission service charges.
2. Enabling the City to purchase power on a direct basis from low cost
sources.
3. Providing additional firm, reliable transmission capacity to serve new
consumers, particularly for anticipated industrial growth.

.-._. _..�.......�� .--mss
1.3 Alternatives
Since the selection and discussion of alternatives considers informed decision-
making and informed public participation, this EIR did not consider an alternative
whose effect cannot be reasonably ascertained and whose implementation is
remote and speculative.
The assessment of the proposed action considers five alternative actions:
A. No /fiction
B. PG & E Upgrade
C. Alternative Technologies
D. Energy Conservation
E. Direct Interconnection with WESTERN
1..3,1 NDAction
By maintaining the status quo, the City would continue with its connection to the
PG&E system with no action to increase power transmission capacity, improve
voltage regulation and reliability, or reducethe cost of electric service.
PG&E has indicated the 60kV transmission planning capacity between their
Lockeford and Lodi substations is 77 MW. The city's peak load exceeded 77 MW in
1987. Load growth projections for PG&E and City loads, which are served from
Lockeford Substation, indicate that the 230/60kV transformer capacity at Lockeford
Substation may be exceeded i n t h e early 1990's.
No action would result in City power transmission capacity limitations in the near
future, preclude the City from providing any benefits to the City's rate payers, and
inhibit the City's abitity to meet its long term electric power supply and reliability
goals. ti is not considered a viable alternative action for meetingthe stated need.
1.3.2 PG & E Upgrade
This alternative would have the City remaining connected to the PG&E system with
PG&E assuming responsibility for upgrading the 60kV transmission capacity
between their Lockeford and Lodi substations, and for increasing the Lockeford
Substation 230-60kV transformer capacity, as required to serve the City's load.
While this alternative would be responsiveto the City's future capacity goals, it does
not:
® allow longterm rate stability that would be,". ssible through elimination
of transmission charges associated with t,:a city's VIES: ERN power
allocation and reduction of wheeling charges on the City's power
requirements.
® eiiminate the potential for a city wide blackout due to single contingency
conditions, such as loss of the Lockeford 230-60kV Substation
transformer, an outage on the 60kV line with the greatest capacity
between PG&E's Lockeford and todi substations, or loss of the 60kV tie
between. PG&E's Lodi Substation and the City's Killelea Substation.
The PG&E Upgrade Alternative is not considered to be in the City's best interest.
1.3.3 Alternative Technologies
Available technologies for meeting increased demand would include the
installation of City -owned thermal generation within, or immediately adjacent to
the city. The high capita! investment and potentially adverse environmental effects,
as well as the inherent increase in cost to rate payers, combine to preclude this
option from consideration.
An additional alternate technology to be considered is that of underground
construction. Although there has been underground construction of transmission
systems in the United States since the late 1920s for iower voltage distribution lines
and some high voltage (HV) systems, most HV systems (greater than or equal to
69kV) have been constructed in areas where overhead lineswere not an option such
501:(4/88)mam
3
as short sections in central -city locations. It is important to note that technological
requirements for underground HV transmission lines are markedly dissimilar from
those for lowervoltage distri*iution lines. Undergrounding of HVtransmission lines
is vastly more comptex and costly, primarily because of problems associated with
dissipating cable heat. Design parameters and other restrictions combine to limit
the use and application of underground transmission systems to short distances,
typically less than two miles. Undergrounding of 230kV is limited to short sections
in special circumstances.
Of the underground 230kV transmission systems in service, or concepts under
development, only three cable systems are feasible. These are: the high-pressure,
oil -filled, pipe -type (HPOF) systems; the self-contained, low-pressure, oil -filled
(SCOF) systems; and the gas insulated type systems.
The preference in the United States is for HPOF or gas insulated systems, based on
their relative durability, installation costs and reduced obstruction of vehicular and
pedestrian traffic, aswell as avoidance of congestion during installation.
The basic cost of undergroundinga 230kV line using HPOFwould beat least four to
ten times the cost of building an overhead line. While underground lines are
relatively unaffected by weather conditions, they remain vulnerable to leaks, dig-
ins, washouts, seismic events and cooling -system failures. These complications can
result in service outages lasting days or weeks, rather than the hours usually
required to locate and correct overhead failures. Outages of long duration would
be unacceptablefor the City.
During construction, the environmental impacts of an underground system would
be similar to those resulting from pipeline construction, which requires a
continuous iine of trenching and backfilling between terminal points. Somewhat
b
greater short term adverse environmental impacts could be expected from
underground construction than from construction of an overhead line. Moreover, n
access to an underground system following construction would be required
throughout its length for repairs and regular maintenance, in contrast to the
overhead system which requires, for the most part, structure access only. y
60L:(4/88)mam �. ";
The principal environmental benefit of undergrounding a transmission system is the
reduction of adverse visual and aesthetic impacts (although ancillary facilities on, or
adjacent to, the right of way would be visible). However, on balance, the
environmental benefits of undergrounding do not appear to outweigh the adverse
impacts.
Considering the technical complications, economic and environmental costs, and
accessibility requirements, an underground transmission system --either in part or in
total --is not a viable alternative for the proposed action.
1.3.4 Energy Conservation
The City Electric Utility Department has instituted a variety of energy conservation
programs. Load Management studies are being conducted that provide customers
with computer models of their energy use pattern. These data are used to aid the
customer in determining options for more efficient energy use and a subsequent
decrease in their demand charges. The reduction in customer demand due to load
management ultimately reduces the City's demand and cost of power purchases.
Through load control, the City has a goal to achieve a 2 megawatt reduction in
energy usage in 1987, the first operational year of the program, and a 6 megawatt
reduction by 1992.
Conservation and load management recommendations are provided to customers
through an energy audit program.
The Electric Utility Department has conducted energy audits of city facilities and has
initiated the installation of high efficiency lighting in public facilities and in the
City's street lights.
In order to detect and correct inefficient equipment, the Electric Department has
conducted infra -red scanning of their lines and substations.
The "Pull the Plug" public awareness load management program is in effect during
the air conditioning season to bring down the 1-7 p.m. peak load during the hottest
days of the month.
60L.(4188)mam 5
These conservation measures reflect responsible Electric Department management.
However, the City's purpose as stated is not to reduce energy consumption through
the proposed action, but to provide for a growing population. Because energy
conservation car affect energy demand but not provide the means of transferring
electric power, conservation cannot be considered as an alternative action for
meeting the project purposes.
1.3.5 Direct Interconnectionto WESTERN
After consideration of the inability to achieve ?he project purpose and need
through the aforementioned alternatives, the City would best be served by
analyzing the opportunities represented by constructing and operating a doubie
circuit 230kV overhead transmission line. The line would originate at a point of
interconnection with a WESTERN line iocated approximately five miles west of Lodi.
Alternative points of interconnection exist adjacent to Thornton Road between
Kettleman Lane and Turner Road. Fromthe point of interconnection the line would
extend south-easterty approximately six milesto a newsubstation.
The double circuit transmission line would provide two power sources to the City of
Lodi.
230kv WESTERN Line
Switching Station
Circuitsto City Facilities
New 230-6OkV 1 60kV to City Facilities
Subsution
230kV WESTERN Line
1.3.5.1 Swishing Station Alternatives
Two alternativQ points of WESTERN interconnection were identified as follows:
IC -1 is located just east of Thornton Road on the south side of Turner Road. IC -2 is
approximately three-quarters of a mile south of Turner Road, east of Thornton
Road. IC -2 is the preferred location due to the favorable location of the existing
230kV line structures and shorter230kV fines to Lodi.
1.3.5.2 Sub tai tion Alternatives
New substatio(j facilities would be required to provide step-down transformation of
the 230kV to 60kV. The City currently accepts power delivery at 60kV; therefore,
modifications to existing substation facilities would be minor, or not be required.
Three alternative substation sites were considered: SS -1, a site approximately 700
feet south of tile southwest corner of Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road,
SS -2 on the Southeast corner of this intersection; and 55-3, a site adjacent to the
west side of the Henning Substation. All three sites are presently outside the Lodi
City Limits and are zoned EA -40 (an older zoning designation) or GA -40. The
proposed substation represents a permitted use within this zoning designation as
described in th€t Planning Code of San Joaquin County:
"SECTION 9-3236. PUBLIC UTILITIES. All public utilities shall be subje" to the
fol lowing regulations:
(b) Other public utilities facilities, transmission lines and substations shall be
permitted in all zones subject to a Development Plan. New parcels, with
areas less than the minimum zoning requirement, may be created to
accommodate such facilities. Parcels created under this provision of this
Section may not be used for uses other than the public utility."
60L: (4!88)mam
S'Z)-1 or SS -2 would allow a shorter transmission line, requiring not only less
right of way but also seven -tenths of mile less of structures, conductor, and
appurtenant hardware. Currently, the Henning Substation, which is adjacent
to 55-3, is served by a 60kV circuit that originates at the K,illelea Substation.
That circuit runs along the east side of Lower Sacramento Road, turning east
on the south side of Kettleman Lane and extends to the Henning Substation
at Ham Lane. Present SS -1 land use is in a row crop of Sugar beets; SS -2 land
use is a gas station, which operates as a "grandfathered" non -conditional
use. At the Kettleman Lane/Lower Sacramento Road intersection, the
commercial zoning is a Limited Combining Zone (C-2/0 on the northeast
corner, which allows for the continuation of the existing non -conforming use
of the land by a convenience store. All other land atthis intersection is zoned
EA -40 or GA -40, and is currently in pasture, row crops, and vineyard.
The SS -3 substation site alternative is on the west side of the Henning
Substation across the Woodbridge Irrigation District canal. This parcel is
bounded on three sides by the Lodi City Limits and is zoned EA -40. The site is
presently a vineyard. Development of this site would require extending the
double circuit 230kV line the additional 3,500 feet from Lower Sacramento
Road.
1.3.5.3 Transmission Line Route Alternatives
Transmission line routing alternatives were considered based upon their ability to
satisfy the project purpose and need, and the City's routing criteria as follows:
® Avoid excessive impacts upon agricultural lands.
• Utilize existing access.

e Avoid areas of critical environmental concern.
Construction of project facilities is scheduled to begin in April 1989with completion
by October 1989. Facilities planners generally assign a project lifeof 35-50 years for
high voltage transmission lines; however, the line would likely be perpetual.
Preliminary screening of potential alternative routes was conducted to determine
areas of substantial conflict based upon environmental reasons, obvious potential
or stated public and agency opposition, and inability to conform substantially with
the primary routing criteria. Five routing alternatives were identified from the
preliminary screening process. The routes, shown on the project area map
(Appendix H) are: Turner Road Alternative; Sargent Road Alternative; Kettleman
Lane Alternative, the Cross-country Alternative, and Harney Lane Alternative. In
addition to the major alternative routes, several cross link routes were examined
that would serve as alternative north -south running segments to connect the east -
west running segments.
Alternative cross links examined in detail were as follows: Western Pacific Railroad
alignment; Davis Road; and Lower Sacramento Road.
Additional cross link routings were preliminarily examined, and ultimately rejected
based upon their inability to offer truly alternative solutions differing from the
more accessible cross link alignments as aforementioned.
An additional alternative was considered that would eliminate the possibility of a
single event causing an outage to the City. This would involve physical separation
of the two 230kV lines into the City by construction of single circuit lines on any
combination of route alternatives. Further discussion on this alternative occurs on
pages 36 & 37.
60L:(4/88)mam 9
1.4 Significant Effectsand Proposed Mitigation
Environmental consequences of the proposed action and alternatives would be
those residual impacts remaining subsequent to the process that has identified,
evaluated, and integrated initial impacts with appropriate mitigation measures.
That process involved assessing impacts by comparing the proposed action with the
pre -action environment, and determining mitigation that would avoid, reduce, or
eliminate long term impacts.
Potential significant impacts were identified during routing studies and with
discussions with City and County personnel. Additional comments on impact or
issue identification were solicited from state and federal agencies through t he filing
of the project Notice of Preparation. Potentially significant impacts identified
through this process were: effects upon agricultural activities; effects on existing
orchards, shade, and ornamental trees; effects on existing high density residential
and commercial areas; and overall visual impact of project facilities.
Perhaps the most significant potential impacts of those listed would be effects on
agricultural patterns and practices, the line's presence in farm and residential areas
relative to the visual effects, and the potential for tree removal to accommodate
the right of way. In addressing the impact upon area agriculture, it is noted that the
San j- aquin County General Plan discourages the unnecessary conversion of prime
farm land to incompatible uses. The range of alternatives vary in their right of way
requirement from 36 acres to 34 acres. Each alternative route would traverse prime
farm land; therefore, appropriate mitigation would address measures to minimize
effects upon those lands. Such measures would inciude:
• Select as short a route as is practicable.
• Place facilities to minimize their effect on agricultural operations and
residential and commercial developments, such as on field edges and
adjacent to roads.
The implementation of these procedures would, in large measure, offset project
impacts to farm and rural residential areas mentioned above.
601: (4M)mam 10 =
An additional issue of concern is the line's affect on aircraft operations. This issue
addresses aircraft operations relative to agricultural practices, and the project
proximity to Kingdon Air Park. it is recognized that transmission lines pose a hazard
to ag-air operations. This problem is reduced by avoiding diagonal routing across
fields, routing along existing roadway edges, and routing in-line with the
predominant flight path over fields, rather than at right angles to those flight
paths. Portions of the project study area are within the Kingdon Air Park Area of
Influence; however, project facilities would not be constructed closer than one and
one-half miles from the nearest point of the Kingdon runway. Also, towers would
be approximately 90 feet below the Federal Aviation Administration's minimum
requirement for notification of airway obstructions. Project notification has been
made to the California Division of Aeronautics and the Federal Aviation
Administration and comment solicited. (See Appendix G ).
Project related impacts to earth resources would be those which may accelerate the
rate of soil erosion, or cause soil compaction. Disturbance of ground cover and soil
compaction would occur as a result of construction activities on the right of way.
However, these effects are not considered to have significant long term
consequence. Fugitive dust caused by construction activities would be easily
controlled by requiring contractors to implement common dust curtailment
measures such as watering construction travel ways and other areas of surface
disturbance. Individual right of way agreements would stipulate appropriate
revegetation according to the grantor's specifications.
Concern for biological resources would include project affects upon threatened or
endangered plant and animal species, critical habitats, unique vegetative types, or
areas of low vegetative potential. An examination of California Natural Diversity
Data Base, as well as consultation with natural resource management agencies,
indicates no potential adverse effects upon biological resources would result from
project implementation. Detailed examination of these areas may be found in
Section 4.
To satisfy compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as
implemented through 36 CFR 800, the California Office of Historic Preservation and
the Central California Information Center have been consulted for comments
relative to historical or cultural resources. Their response is noted in Section 4 and
60L: (4/88)m am 11
Appendix G.
The proposed Project would effect short-term increases in noise levels from the use
of various vehicles and machinery during construction and maintenance. During
periods of rain and fog some hissing and crackling may be noticed in the immediate
line vicinity. This noise level may reach 45dBA at 50 feet from the outer conductor
of a line such as that being proposed. This level is approximately the same as the
ambient noise experienced in most residences located in urban areas. Noise
generated by the substation equipment would also be confined to a level of
approximately 45dBA. The San Joaquin Council of Governments allows a noise level
of 65dBA at the property line in residential developments.
Normally there are no adverse perceivable effects of electric fields from those lines
that operate at a voltage of 230,000 volts or less. No adverse effectsare anticipated
to be perceived as a result of Project facilities. This subject area is addressed in more -
detail in Section 4of this document.
1.5 Areas of Controversy
Some level of controversy is anticipated to arise over the project's visual impacts,
effects upon agricultural practices, and the line's electrical and magnetic effects.
7.6 Issues to be Resolved
Of primary concern will be the certification of the environmentally and technically
preferred transmission line route, switching station site, and substation site.
Mitigation of areas of controversy may be stipulated by the project proponent (the
City) and are discussed in detail in Section 4.

1.7 Environmentally Preferred Route and Sites
Based upon the review of pc'zntial impacts, route and site evaluation worksheets,
individual routing preferences and agency comments, the cumulative land use,
engineering and environmental consequences of each route were summarized (see
Tables 2-4 and Section 5). The preferred route, interconnection point/switching
station site, and substation site of least environmental impact were identified based
upon a review of these data in relation to evaluation :riteria.
Subsequent to the release of this Draft EIR, public comment will be solicited
through a public hearing and invitations to present written and verbal testimony.
The final project disposition will resuit from an analysis of all data presented.
The prefcrrec! point of interconnection is located approximately 7,600 feet north of
the I-S/Kettleman Lane interchange, east of Thornton Road. Three 230kV lines pass
in a general north -south alignment through this area. The eastern -most line is
owned by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). The westerly two lines are owned
by the Western Area Power Administration (WESTERN), an agency of the U.S.
Department of Energy. A tap point will occur on the middle line of that (WESTERN)
circuit. This tap point will require constructing a 260' x 350' 230kV switching
station. The station (Figure 3, page 23) would include four breakers initially to allow
for the two transmission lines to the city alternated with two source lines from
WESTERN. Space will be mace for expansion to include up to six more lines in the
future Maintaining national and California standards for crossing and ground
clearance, the new transmission line would pass under the PG&E line and proceed
southwesterly to Thornton Road. Turning south, the route parallels Thornton Road
to the Kettleman Lane intersection. Turning east at that point, the route parallels
the north side of Kettleman Lane and north of the Woodbridge Irrigation District
canal easement for approximately 7,200 feet, to a location just east of Ray Road, at
which point the line would cross to the south side of Kettleman Lane. An alternate
route considered crossed Kettleman Lane at Thornton Road and turned east. This
option was rejected because of the constraint imposed by the extra wide CALTRANS
right of way in that area of Kettleman Lane. This controlled access right of way is
approximately 160 feet from the highway centerline and extends approximately
4,800 feet east of Thornton Road. No encroachment is allowed within this right of
way, therefore forcing the line route into the recreationai and highway commercial
60L:(4188)mam 13
development known as Saddle City, thus necessitating a series of angle structures.
At the aforementioned Kettleman Lane Crossing 7,200 feet east of Thornton Road,
the preferred route encounters the standard CALTRANS right of way, which is 55
feet either side of the highway centerline. From that point, the preferred route
would extend east along Kettleman Lane immediately adjacent to the CALTRANS
right of way and on private land. The preferred route would terminate at the
preferred substation site (SS -1) approximately 700' south of the southwest corner at
the intersection of Lower Sacramento goad and Kettleman Lane. The requirement
for this site would be approximately ten acres.
From the preferred substation, three 60kV wood pole lines will emanate to
interconnect into the City's existing system. Additional switching capability and
system reliability would be gained by running the 60kV line from McLane
Substation through the new substation on its path to the Killelea Substation. Two
new 60kV circuits would extend to the Henning Substation as follows: (1) On a
route that crosses Lower Sacramento Road approximately 1,130 feet south of
Kettleman Lane, extending easterly approximately 1,280 feet until reaching the
new road to be constructed on the west side of the Meadows 2 Subdivision, at
which point, the route runs to the north side of Kettleman Lane and along
Kettleman Lane east until reaching Henning Substation. The existing PG&E 12kV
line along the Kettleman Lane route segment would be placed on the new
transmission line poles. The present PG&E poles would be removed. (2) The second
60kV circuit would extend easterly from the substation to the east side of Lower
Sacramento Road. Turning north, the line would connect to the existing 60kV line
on the south side of Kettleman Lane. This configuration would require removal of
short section of the existing McLane 60kV line, and building a new 60kV line from
near the northeast corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane along the
west side of Lower Sacramento Road and into the new substation. Figure 1, page 16
portrays the discussed circuit arrangements.
Potential project land use conflicts along the preferred route are anticipated to be
those relative to visual affects, and impacts upon agricultural operations. With the
implementation of appropriate mitigation, these conflictswould be reduced, and
characterized as moderate to low. For a discussion on the criteria used to determine
potential impacts, see Section 4.

meetings iscontained in Appendix G.
2.0 INTRODUCTIONAN D PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 History
The City of Lodi (City) operates transmission and distribution systems that
provide eiectric service to the City's customers. At present, the City does
not independently own or operate any generation facilities_ However,
through its membership in the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA)
and through participation in several NCPA resource projects, the City has
access to several long-term power resources. The City, through its
membership in the Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC), is
also participating in the development of the California -Oregon
Transmission Project (COTP) which will enable the City (through NCPA) to
participate in the power market in the Pacific Northwest. The City also has
an allocation of federal power from. the Western Area Powe:
Administration's (WESTERN) Central Valley Project(CVP).
Under its present operating configuration, the City must wheel all its
WESTERN and non -WESTERN resources through the interconnected
transmission system of the Pacific Gasand Electric Company(PG&E).
The existing system, which serves the City, consists of four 60kV feeders
from PG&E's Lockeford Substation to PG&E's Lodi Substation, which is
adjacent to and connected to the City's Killelea Substation. The terms and
conditions that control the City -PG&E Interconnection are detailed in a
1983 Interconnection Agreement between PG&E and NCPA. Based upon
NCPA forecasts of peak loads, and PG&E's earlier forecasts of available
capacity between Lockeford and Lodi, this agreement provides for
approximately 77 megawatts (MW) of firm transmission capacity between
the PG&E system and Lodi in the year 1988, prior to system reinforcement.
PG&E has agreed to provide for additional load on the existing
transmission lines. This system will require yet to be determined
reconstruction in the near future. This condition is being reviewed on a
yearly basis and will eventually result in a request by PG&E for the City to
601: (4/88)m am 17
pay for reconstruction of PG&E`s lines. An alternative would be forth e City
to constructthe proposed interconnection with WESTERN.
2.2 Description of the Proposed Action
2.2.1 Action and Benefits
The City is currently contemplating the construction of a direct
transmission interconnection between the City's system and the
WESTERN transmission system. The construction of the Direct
Interconnection Project with WESTERN would allow the City to
meet its long range electric service cost, capacity and reliability
goats by:
1. Minimizing the long-term cost of service to the City's electric
customers, through rate stabilization, by reducing
transmission service charges.
2. Enabling the City to purchase power on a direct basis from
the lowest cost available source.
3. Providing additional firm, reliable transmission capacity to
serve new consumers, particularly for anticipated industriai
g rowth .
The interconnection of WESTERN and City facilities is proposed by
means of an interconnection point into WESTERN's system and
construction of a 230kV switching station, a 230kV double circuit
transmission line, and a 230-60kV substation. The interconnection
would provide an energy source forthe City and accommodate City
load growth, and provide assurance to large industriai customers
that the City's electrical system can accommodate significant load
growth.
Project feasibility analyses show that cost savings can potentially be
realized through the implementation of this Project. With a direct
6OL:(4/88)mam 1
interconnection in place, the City would receive a direct service
-- discount on power purchases from WESTERN. Based on preliminary
calculations, the wheeling savings could be significant (See section -
2.2.3 for an economic analysis d1scussion).
2.2.2 Technical Characteristics
Conceptually, the projectwouid consist ofthree major elements:
0 Connection to WESTERN Transmission Lines via a 230kV
switching station
e 230kV double circuit Transmission tine
® 230-60kV Substation
Siting analysis has identified suitable sites to interconnect with the
WESTERN Transmission line about 7,600 feet north of State
Highway 12 (Kettleman Lane), east of Thornton Road (See Project
Area Map - Appendix H). This interconnection would require
constructing a 260' x 350' switching station on approximately seven
acres.
From the switching station which interconnects with W EST E R N's
system, a double circuit 23OkV transmission line would be
constructed. As presently conceived, the line would be built using
single tubular steel poles. The transmission line would terminate at
a new 230-60kV substation. The new substation would be designed
for reliability and flexibility. Two (2) 230-60kV, 90/120/1 SO MVA
transformers would be included, each having the capacity to
provide for the entire City load under most conditions. The 60kV
portion of the new station would be designed as a six (6) breaker
ring bus. This would allow the McLane, Killelea, and Henning
Substation to be served from separate circuits and would provide
for one (1) future 60kV circuit which would be used to support
future growth. Construction of the proposed new substation and
its integration into the City's existing electrical system will not
require extended outages or extensive modifications to existing
11M
601:(4i88)mam 19
substations. Several alternative interconnection points, substation
sites, and transmission line routes have been identified, and an
environmentally preferred site/route combination has been
selected.
A typical transmission line structure (Figure 2, Page 22) consists of a
single tubular steel pole approximately 107 feet in height above
ground line and about four feet in diameter at the base. Davit
arms, approximately eighteen feet long on each side of the pole
would support the conductors. In the event an overhead
groundwire is required, it would be attached at the pole top and
would require an additional nine feet in pole height. The structure
design and ail conductor spacing and ground clearances would
conform to California General Order 95 requirements.
A fifty foot wide right of way on private land would be required to
accommodate the transmission line with an additionai twenty-five
foot overhang easement required from CALTRANS. The total
amount of private land required for the preferred route right of
way wo.ld be approximately twenty eight acres. The right of way
would be acquired by the City as an easement. Negotiations vvith
landownersfor easement rightswould be conducted according to
the California Uniform Relocation and Property Acquisition Act.
Landownerswould be compensated for the easement on a basis of
fair market land value. If negotiations are not successful,
condemnation proceedingswould be undertaken. While many uses
are allowed within transmission line easements, certain restrictions
are imposed. These would primarily concern the erection of
structures within the easement, or the conduct of activities that
might pose a safety hazard or impede the operation and
maintenanceof the line.
The point of interconnection with WESTERN would require the
construction of a switching station dedicated to accommodate a
source circuit to the City, and the return circuit to WESTERN. It is
anticipated that this switching station and associated facilities
60L:(4/88)mam .
20
would encompass approximately seven acres. The switching station
-- will be designed as a breaker and one-half bus arrangement
although initially energized as a four (4)breaker, four (4)terminal
ring bus. Addition of two (2) future circuit breakers will complete
the arrangement and will allow for operation at a full breaker and
one-haif. Space will also be provided for addition of a two (2)
terminal breaker and one-half bay. Initially, two (2) of the four (4)
terminals will accommodate WESTERN's 230kV line, and the other
two (2) terminals will feed the City of Lodi substation to be
constructed west of the current Lodi city IImits. It is anticipated that
this switching station would be placed partly within the existing
WESTERN right of way and that WESTERN lines would not have to
be rerouted.

Substation and associated facilities would require a site of approximately t e n
acres. The enclosed portion of the site would contain transmission line entry
and exit structures, 230 and 60kV power circuit breakers, two, 230kV power
transformers, rigid bus work, a small control house, and various pieces of
ancillary operating, metering, and safetydevices (Figure4, Page 24j. The power
circuit breakers would utilize an arc extinguishing gas compound called SF6, in
circuit breaker tanks. SF6 is a non-toxic, non -explosive, inert gas; however,
because the gas displaces oxygen, under enclosed conditions there is a risk of
suffocation. The tanks for the 230kV-6OkV power transformers would each
contain 21,000 gallons of insulating mineral oil. Standard oil containment
devices, either sealed earth berms or concrete pad and walls, would be
constructed around the transformers to contain oil in the unlikely event of a
leak or spill.
2.2.3 Project Cost
An analysis of costs attributable to project alternatives is necessary
to arrive at a balance between cost and environmental affects.
Engineering, right-of-way, and construction costs have been
estimated for each alternative, and weighed against the benefits to
be derived in terms of satisfying the City's stated need.
No Action
By maintaining the status quo, the City would continue with its
connection to the PG&E system with no action to increase power
supply capacity, improve voltage regulation and reliability, or
reduce the cost of electric service.
PG&E has indicated the 60kV transmission capacity between their
Lockeford and todi substations is 77 MW. The city's peak load
exceeded 77 MW in 1987. toad growth projections for PG&E and
City loads, which are served from Lockeford Substation, indicate
60L:("81imam
25
that the 60kV transformer capacity at Lockeford Substation will be
exceeded in the early 1990's.
No action would result in City transmission supply capacity
limitations in the near future, preclude the City from providing the
project's benefits to the City's rate payers, and inhibit the City's
ability to meet its long term electric transmission supply and
reliability goals. it is not considered a viable alternative action for
meeting the stated need.
PG&E Upqrade
PG&E estimates the 60kV transmission upgrade will be required in
1989 or 1990 and will cost approximately $1,000,000. The
Lockeford Substation transformer capacity increase is estimated to
be required in the late 1990's and will cost approximately
$3,000,000. These costs were assumed to accrue to the City, for the
purposes of this study.
While this alternative would be responsive to the City's. future
capacity goals, it does not:
• allow long term rate stability that would be possible through
elimination of loss charges associated with their WESTERN
power allocation and reduction of transmission wheeling
charges on the City's required power purchases.
• eliminate the potential for a city wide blackout due to single
contingency conditions, such as loss of the Lockeford 230-60kV
Substation transformer, or loss of the 60kV tie between PG&E's
todi Substation and the City's Killelea Substation.
The Preferred Alternative
Within the preferred alternative, the City would fund all
facilities required for direct connection to WESTERN, and would
own and operate the transmission line and a step-down
substation to serve the City's existing 60kV transmission system.
WESTERN will own and operate the switching station.
This alternative would provide the City with savings from
reductions in loss and wheeling costs sufficient to pay for the
new facilities in five to ten years- The total estimated cost of the
preferred alternative is $9,684,000.
The following are summaries of cost estimates for the three
primary alternatives described previously:
Estimated Cost
(1987$)
Alternative 1, No Action $ 0
Alternative 2, PG&E Upgrade
• Line Reinforcement $ 895,000
• Transformer Replacement $3,183,000
TOTAL: $4,078,000
Alternative 3, WESTERN Direct Interconnection

• Switching Station
• 230kV Double Circuit Line
• 60kV Line Additions
• 230-60kV Substation
$ 2,475,000
$2,353,000
$351,000
$4,505,000
TOTAL: $9,684,000
The Alternative 3 cost estimates are for the preferred line routing
and substation location. The cost estimates for other Alternative
options are generally higher than for the proposed option because
of longer line routings, relocating existing circuits, tree trimming
costs, and other environmental mitigation.
A cost analysis was also conducted for other doubie circuit and
single circuit routing options. Table 1, Page 29 summarizes those
estimates.

SUBSTATION OPTIONS: Three sites near the City's Henning Substation have been
considered for the new 230-60kV substation:
Substation Option 55-1 : S5-1 is the preferred site located approximately 700' south
of the southwest corner of Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road.
Significant concerns exist regarding the possible commercial value of the corner and
the impact of the new substation on this value. For this reason, the substation: was
sited well away from the corner intersection on Kettleman Lane and Lower
Sacramento Road. The estimated acquisition, site preparation, and construction
costsfor a substation at the SS -1 site are $4,505,000.
S, 1h Option SS -2: The site is located on the southeast corner of Kettleman
Lane and Lower Sacramento Road. An existing gas station would have to be -
removed from the site. This established commercial use on this location has an
apparent effect of increasing the land value. The estimated acquisition, site
preparation, and construction costs of a substation at the SS -2 site are $4,905,000.
Substation Option SS -3: This site is currently a vineyard located on the north side of
Kettleman Lane just west cf the Woodbridge Irrigation District canal adjacent to
Henning Substation. To use this site, the 230kV line would have to be extended,
with distribution underbuild, from Lower Sacramento Road to the substation. The
estimated acquisition, site preparation, and construction costs for a substation at
the SS -3 site are $4,505,000.
Substation Option SS -4: Construction of the 230-60kV substation at the site of the
WESTERN interconnection was also considered, but rejected for the following
reasons:
• Three (3) 60kV circuits would have to be constructed from the new station
to the City's 60kV transmission system to provide the same capacity,
reliability and flexibility as the proposed 230kV interconnect line. xt
•, A double circuit 60kV line would likely be constructed along the route of M.„}
the proposed 230kV line, resulting in almost identical ROW requirements
and environmental considerations. y
M
s An additional single circuit 60kV line would be constructed parallel to
Turner Road, Sargent Road, Harney Lane, or a route across the fields
requiring additional ROW and increasing the environmental impacts.
® Losses on the 60kV lines would be significantly greater than 230kV lines.
m Voltage regulation on the 60kV circuits would be questionable.
Future load growth would require additional 60kV lines and therefore, this
alternative would necessitate continuing additional environmental impact.
QUANTIFIABLE BENEFITS
There are two quantifiable benefits to be realized by the City through direct
interconnection with WESTERN.
o Power Cost Savings: Estimated at $2-3 million present value dollars
over a 30 year project life depending on the
discount rate used in the calculation.
• Wheeling Cost Savings: Estimated at $25-41 million present value dollars
over the 30 year project life depending on the
discount rates and relative PG&E and WESTERN
wheeling charges used in the calculations.
POWER COST SAVINGS: Currently, the City receives all of its power through PG&E
transmission facilities. The City's Federal Power allocation is adjusted for losses by
PG&E to deliverWESTERN's 12.5 MW monthly allocation to the City. These loss costs
are passed on to the City by WESTERN. If the City receives power directly from
WESTERN, as a result of the Direct Interconnection Project, the PG&E loss charges to
WESTERN would be reduced and WESTERN would pass appropriate savings on to
the City. WESTERN has estimated that the pass-through savings to the City -for its
12.5 MW allocation would be approximately $1.43/kW/mo., or $215,000 per year.
Tables 5.1 and 5.2 in the Appendix B show NCPA calculations of the present value
loss cost pass-through savings for discount rates of 7% and 10%, respectively.
6OL:(41U)inam 31
WHEELING COSTSAVINGS: Presently, the City pays PG&E fortransmission delivery
of its power requirements, at PG&E's area transmission wheeling rate. The Direct
Interconnect Project wi I l eiiminate the City's need for area transmission service from
PG & E, providing the City with WESTERN's lower wheeling charge for all of its power
requirements. Due to the present and projected difference in PG&E and WESTERN
wheeling rates. tht Direct Interconnection Project would provide the City with
significant savings in wheeling costs.
Tables 5.1 through 5.10 in the Appendix 6 show NCPA calculations of present value
wheeling cost savings, at two discount rates, for several scenarios involving
different assumptions for future P G & E and WESTERN wheeling charges.
NON -QUANTIFIABLE BENEFITS
There are other non -economic factors associated with the Direct Interconnection
Project that will benefit the City in a non -quantifiable manner.
• The installed project capacity will be great enough to provide a significant
margin forfuture growth and the City should not require any furtherlarge
capital outlay for near term power transmission system reinforcement.
• The capacity margin and rate stabilizing benefits that should accrue from
the Direct Interconnection Project may allow the City to attract new
ind!,strial and commercial loads.
• System reliability will be enhanced as a result of the two 230 kV lines serving
the City being tied to separate high-voltage area substations.
BENEFIT/COST ANALYSIS
Based on the results of the power cost saving and wheeling cost saving analyses,
total potential benefit dotlars can be calr:alated. Dividing these benefit dollars by
the project capital costs results in a benefit/cost ratio for the proposed alternative
which ranges from 2.69 to 4.36,depending on the assumptions used in calculating
the benefit dollars. These benefit/cost values differsomewhat from the figures in
60L: (4188) mam 32
nk.r..01s.�:
the NCPA economic analysis because better defined construction cost estimates
became available subsequent to preparation of the NCPA economic analysis.
The Direct Interconnection Project could, depending .on the assumptions used to
define the potential savings, result in present value savings to the City equal to the
project's capital costs within 5 to 10 years.

3.0 ROUTING AND SITING ANALYSIS APPROACH
In order to identify a referred transmission line route and associated sites for
the interconnection point and substation, interrelated factors of engineering
and environmental studies of identified alternatives have been evaluated.
3.1 General
From a strictly pragmatic sense, few constraints exist that make the
placement of a transmission line impossible. However, given a choice of
options governed by economic and environmental variables, the selection
of a route may be made which represents a responsible assessment of these
options. The environmental impacts ofthe proposed action are considered
in a broad sense to include an assessment of both beneficial and adverse
affects on the social, economic, and natural environments. VVhile many
impacts cannot be predicted with certainty, their probability of occurrence
is made easierto predictthrough a systematic assessment process.
For the City of Lodi Direct Interconnection Project, alternatives have been
selected for evaluation that represent relative degrees of validity.
While any number of environmental elements may be considered, not all
would be relevant to the identification and evaluation of each alternative.
Those elements that were considered relevant are discussed in Section 4.
They are grouped into four general categories:
6OL- (4/88)mam 35
• Living Components
• Non -Living components
® Human Values
e Demographics and Socioeconomics
The probable effectsof the proposed action on each of the elements were
weighed against the pre -action condition in selecting and evaluating
alternate sites and routes. Only those primary routes and their sub -routes
that represent unique opportunities were retained for an in-depth analysis.
Primary routes initially studied were Turner Road, Sargent Road, Kettleman
Lane, a Cross-country route, and Harney Lane, all of which represent east -
west corridors. Because of the City's need to tie the new line into the
Henning Substation, several north -south route segments, or links that
interconnect the east -west corridors, were examined. These links originally
included the Western Pacific Railroad, Ray Road, DeVries Road, Davis Road,
Moore Road, Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) Canal, and Lower
Sacramento Road. Field review of these links resulted in the determination
that not all links offered unique solutions that are not made available via
another link. Therefore given the desirability of examining truly unique
link combinations, some links were excluded from further study. Those
excluded links were: DeVries Road, Ray Road, Moore Road, and the WID
Canal. DeVries, Ray, and Moore Roads are very similar in representative
land uses to those existing along Davis road; and quantitatively present a
larger number of potential confiicts, i.e. homes, barns, distribution lines,
irrigation ditches, and additional angles. The WID Canal is inherently
exclusive of transmission lines because of their hazard to canal
maintenance activities.
Two separate single circuit alternatives have been considered as a means
of providing additional transmission line reliability. Within the context of
this scenario, the source circuit from WESTERN to the City and the return
circuit from the City back to WESTERN would be constructed on separate
pole lines and within geographically separated rights of way. The rationale
for this alternative is to provide redundant electrical paths as a precaution
60L:(4/88)mam 36
a4 •.1.1*wwbn
..ow.
for continued service in the event one circuit is lost due to an accident or
environmental occurrence. This alternative mould have approximately
double the environmental impacts of those experienced by the double
circuit, single pole line proposal. Additionally, the costs for engineering,
design, right of way, and construction would be greater than for the
double circuit line. While avoiding an outage to both circuits, the risk of a
single occurren--e causing an outage is increased by the presence of a
greater number of facilities to which an incident may occur. In spite of
apparently excessive environmental and economic costs, this alternative
was considered for in-depth analysis because it does represent a unique
solution.
Cross-country routingswere considered for study but eventually eliminated
since the area surrounding the City is all land defined as prime agricultural
land that is currently held in preserve, and has been rezoned to GA -40. In
consideration of the Williamson Act, itwas determined that the imp -act of
such a route upon agricuitural operations during construction, as well as
access needs for maintenance activities, would be unwarranted especially
when lesser impact alternatives exist.
A route analysis and weighting scheme was developed to optimize an
objective analysis of link segments, see Appendix D - Route
Evaluation/Weighting Analysis Criteria, and Appendix E - Route and Site
Evaluation Worksheets. The preferred alternative is defined as the set of
switching station/interconnection point, route segments, and substation
sitethat offersthe best balance between environmental, engineering, land
useconcerns, and probable project impactswhile satisfying the stated need
for the project.
The preferred alternative selection process proceeded asfollows:
1. Identifya study area that is large enough to provide alternatives for
study within the parameters of prudent economic, engineering,
and environmental constraints. Confine the study area to allow the
entire area to be studied at a satisfactory level of detail.

2. Prepare a study area environmental data base and constraint
analysis.
3_ Assuming a requirement for a fifty foot right of way, a seven acre
switching station site, and a ten acre substation site, select apparent
"least impact" routes and sites.
4. From the identified alternatives, select a "preferred alternative."
5. Assess potential impacts of each alternative.
6. Develop proposed mitigation.
7. Assemble a Draft E I R
The study area for this proposed acJon is believed to contain all feasible
alternatives for the placement of a switching station, a double circuit
230kV transmission line and a 230kV - 60kV substation while fulfilling San
Joaquin County`sand the City`srouting/siting criteria:
s Avoid excessive impacts upon agricultural lands.
• Utilize existing access.
Minimize routing through areas of general residential and
commercial development.
o Avoid areas representing engineering hazards or requiring costly
design measures.
• Minimize t h e line length.
9 Avoid areas of critical environmental concern.
Alternate routes within the study area were identified based on field
inspection and on the information presented in this report. These routes
60L:(4/88)mam 38 , ;;
are presented with the understanding that their position on the study area
map does not represent an exact centerline location. Detailed engineering,
surveying and design may result in minor deviations from the routes as
mapped in this report. Individual structure locations would be determined
through a process of design requirements and public comment.
3.2 Route Evaluation Criteria
Route and site evaluation criteria that representthe engineering, land use
and environmental concerns present within the study area are listed in
Tables 2, 3, & 4_ Each criterion is assigned a relative value of importance or
weighting. These weights range in value from 5, which represents high
potential for conflict and/or cost, to 1, which represents a low potential for
conflict and/or cost. When the weighting is multiplied by the number of
occurrences along a given route segment or link, the resulting score refiects
the compatibility of the link with the specific criterion. When the links are
combined and totaled, the route and/or site with the fewest occurrences,
or lowest numerical score is considered the best. Appendix D contains a
detailed discussion of all route evaluation and site evaluation criteria, and
their respectiveweight assignments.
3.2.1 Link/Site Development
Each route is composed of route segments or links. The double
circuit configuration consists of twenty-two links that were joined
in various combinations to form five primary alternative routes and
six sub -routes. The single circuit configuration consists of three
primary routes, each comprised of two separate roctes. The links,
routes,and sub -sites are shown on the project area map included in
Appendix H.
3.2.2 Link/Site Inventory and Scorinq
Each link, switching station/interconnection point, and substation
site was reviewed using the route and site evaluation criteria
worksheets. The inventory process involved counting the number
of occurrences (i.e. number of road crossings, miles requiring new
access) for each route, or site evaluation criteria.
These tabulated occurrences of environmental, land use and
engineering conditions along each link or within each site were
then multiplied by their respective weights, and a total score was
calculated. For example, in the engineering category, the criterion
"miles of difficult access" has a weight of four. If a I ink has two
miles of difficult access then it would have a score of 8 (two miles
times a weight of four). If a substation site experiences t he above
exampled criteria, one full weight of four is scored unless the
impact is perceived to be severe in which case a representative
multiplier is applied to the weight. For example, in the
environmental considerations the criterion "sensitive wildlife
habitat" has weight of three. If the substation site is located within
critically sensitive wildlife habitat it would have a score of six or
possibly nine depending on the perceived severity. The weighted
scores were then added together respectively to obtain a total score
for each link and site. The lower the number, the more acceptable
the link. Appendix E shows the result of the inventory and total
scoring for all links and sites.
3.2.3 Route and SiteScorinq
Route scores were determined by adding the individual scores of
links that make up each route. For example, the total score for
Route 1 was obtained by adding the totals of links 1. 1, 1.2, 1.3, and
2.4. The route totals were also broken down into totals of the three
major criteria categories: land use, engineering and
environmental. The land use score for Route 1, for example, was
obtained by adding the land use scores for all iink segments that
made up Route 1. Table 4 is the form developed to summate these
totals and also to assign the route ranks discussed below.
N
Interconnection and substation site scores were also obtained by
adding up the totals of the three major criteria categories. The
60U(4/88}mam 40.

scores of these project elements are then incorporated into the

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNSAND IMPACTS
For the purposes of this report, environmental impact has been defined as a
modification, or anticipated modification, to the environment as it presently
exists resulting fromthe proposed action. Environmental impacts could result:
if environmental change or stress occurs to biotic populations or
natural resources affecting their safety, health, abundance,
productivity or aesthetic or cultural values.
�► if the change or stress affects the diversity and variety of individual
choice, the standard of living, or the extent of sharing life's amenities.
9 if the change or stress affects the quality of renewable resources or the
-- recycling of depletable resources -
Significant effect on the environment means a substantial, or potentially
substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area
affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna,
ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance. An economic or
social change Ly itself would not be considered a significant effect on the
environment. A social or economic change related to a physical change may be
considered in determining whether the physical change is potentially
significant.
Environmental impacts can be positive (beneficial) or negative (adverse) as a
primary result of the action (direct) or as a secondary result (indirect). These
impacts can be permanent or long-lasting (long-term), or temporary or short
duration (short-term). They can vary in degree or magnitude from no change,
or only slightly discernable change (no identifiable impact), to a total change in
the environmental condition or system (high impact). The level of impact is
described as follows:
Nigh impact - A high level of impact would result if the construction,
operation, maintenance or abandonment of the proposed Project would
potentially cause a significant cr substantial adverse change or stressto an
6OL:(4/88)mam 45
environmental resource or resources.
-Moderate Impact - A moderate impact would result if the construction,
operation, maintenance or abandonment of the proposed Project would
potentially cause some adverse change or stress (ranging between
significant and insignificant) to an environmentat resource or resources.
Low Impact - A low impact would result if the construction, operation,
maintenance, or abandonment of the proposed Project would potentially
cause an insignificant or small adverse change or stressto an environmental
resource or resources.
No Identifiable Impact- No ident'` able impactwould be indicated where
no measurable impact would occur to the specific resource(s) under
investigation. _
Duration of impacts has been defined for the potential and residual
impacts described as follows:
Short-term impacts are those changes or stresses made upon the
environment during construction. Such change would generally revert to
preconstruction conditions at, or within a few years of, the conclusion of
the construction phase. Although short in duration, such impacts are
normally obvious and often highly disruptive in *-ore.
tong -term impacts are those changes or stresses made to the environment
during construction and operation that would substantially remain for the
life of the proposed project (35-40 years) and beyond.

4.1 EnvironmentatSettinq
The City of Lodi is located in the north -central portion of San Joaquin °
County, which isthe northernmost county in the San Joaquin Valley, and is
a part of the Central Valley. The most recent population estimate (January
1,1987) for Lodi is45,794. In Lodi the land slopes at a rate of approximately
five feet per mile from the northeast to the southwest. The climate in the
6OL: (4i88)mam 46
project area is characterized by hot, dry summers, and mild, wet winters.
Temperatures may dip below freezing in winter with an average January
minimum of 48°F. In summer, temperatures often exceed 100°F; the
average July temperature is near, 90°F. The mean annual rainfall is about
seventeen inches and generally occurs during storms between October and
April. Dense fog can occur in late autumn and early winter but as t h e
daytime temperatures rises, it usually disperses unless a stagnant
atmospheric condition exists during which time the fog may last for weeks.
3.2 Flora and Fauna
The nut and fruit orchards, the grape vineyards, the assortment of row
crops, the grass and mixed grass woodlands all comprise the vegetation
found in the project area. The vegetation serves as habitat for animals,
erosion control, a contributor of oxygen to the atmosphere, and p0r,1aly, a
neutralizer of noxious air pollution.
Since much of the project area has been in agricultural production for over
one hundred years, little native California vegetation remains. However,
there are numerous chf rry, almond and walnut orchards, canopies of
California live oak, isolated palm trees, and other ornamental and shade
tree species.
The presence of mammals, birds, and reptiles occurs in direct association
with vegetative communities. The agricultural land provides a food source
for wildlife. In the study area, there are no natural streams that flow year
round.
Impacts and Mitigating Measures: The proposed project is not expected
to pose a long-term impact to wildlife species, or to degrade wildlife
habitat. Project actions will not impact riparian zones, so mitigation is not
necessary.
60L (4/88imam . 47
4.2.1 Threatened and Endangered Species
Consultation with the California Natural Diversity Database, the California
Department of Fish & Game, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service indicates
there are no state or federally listed threatened or endangered species
found within the immediate project area. However, several locations near
the project area are identified habitat of the Giant Garter Snake. The
closest known site is approximately eight -tenths of a mile west of the
Thornton Road/Kettleman Lane (Highway 12) intersection.
Correspondence from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (see Appendix G)
indicates that the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle, which is a federally
listed threatened species, occurs in portions of San Joaquin County,
primarily in streamside habitats. A Biological Assessment was conducted in
March 1988to determine ifthis species occurs within the project area, and
if so, how it may be affected by the project action. According to the Jones
& Stokes Associates resource ecologist, no elderberry plants were found
growing in the study area. Since the beetle is a live wood pith borer that
exclusively uses elderberry shrubs as its host, the beetle cannot be present
in the area (Appendix G).
Impacts and Mitigating Measures: The clearance between conductors for
the 230kV line single pole structure will be 18 feet at a minimum. This
distance will provide ample clearance for any raptors, therefore precluding
concern for mitigation, such as raptor -protecting the line. In the event
threatened or endangered species are discovered and their habitat directly
affected by the proposed action, agency recommended mitigation would
befollowed.
4.3 Soils
The area is dominated by moderately deep to very deep soils of nearly level
to gently sloping alluvial fans. These soils, Hanford - Greenfield Association
loam, have a Class I capability rating assigned by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Sob Conservation Service, and have virtually no limitations for
60L: (4188)mam 48
agricultural purposes, as is evidenced by t he wide variety of crops grown in
the area.
For the purpose of switching station, substation and structure construction,
the bearing capacity of the soil is adequate at approximately 2,000 pounds
per square foot with no expansive characteristics.
impacts and Mitigating Measures: Right of way clearing, augerinq holes
for structures, switching station and substation site preparation are project
activities that will have varying degrees of impacts to the area soils.
Soil disturbing activities along the rights of way will be short term and can
be minimized by efficient construction methods, thereby reducing
vehicular traffic. Since there is very little gradation of slope, there will be
little erosional threat as a result of construction activities. The inherent
productivity of the area soils will allow rapid re-establishment of native
vegetation in the areas that are not cultivated.
4.4 Floodplains and Wetlands
According to FEMA Floodplain Maps Nos. 140, 145, 280, and 285 for San
Joaquin County, issued March 31, 1987, and a letter dated December 18,
1987 from the Regional Director of FEMA, the project area does not He
within a 100 -year floodplain. The area east of 1-5 to just west of Lower
Sacramento Road is in Zone B, which is a 500 -year floodplain area, while
east of Lower Sacramento Road, the area is located in Zone C, which is a
minimal flooding area.
In the western -most portion of the project, small sections of unmaintained
irrigation ditches represent man-made wetlands; however, this area is very
small. No unique wetland wildlife habitat occurs in the project area.
The California Department of Fish & Game in their ietter dated December
14, 1987 (Appendix G) stated, "If the project either avoids or mitigates the
project's potential impact upon the wetlands (small drainage ditches), we
50 :(4l88)m a m 49
u
would concur with the finding for a mitigated Negative Declaration under
CEQAguidelines."
Impacts and Mitigating Measures: Any of the small, man-made wetlands
that maybe affected will be spanned, or avoided entirely.
4.5 Geology and Seismicity
During the last several million years, the Great Valley filled completely with
sediment eroded from the canyons of the Sierra Nevada and became dry
land. Underlying these sediments are many thousands of feet of the
monotonous Great Valley Sequence rocks, which appear to have begun as
sediments on the floor of the ocean, just asthe same kindsof sediments are
being deposited offshore today. Most of these sediments are muddy
sandstones, layered with a few layers of black basalt lava flows and beds of
chert, a rock composed ofthe skeletons of microscopic animals all welded
together by recrystallization.
The Great Valley of California, also known as the Central Valley, is about
450 miles long with an average width of about 50 miles. The northern
portion of the valley is called the Sacramento Valley and the southern
portion the San Joaquin Valley. The northern -most fault, the Steckton "
fault, which isabout 14 miles south of Lodi, isthe boundary generally used
by geologists to separate the Great Valley into the two sub -basins. Lodi is
located directly in the middle of the separation point.
Although Lodi is in seismic zone 3, which according to the 1985 Uniform
Building Code requires the most stringent design factors to resist laterai
forces, potentially the most active fault in closest proximity is located 22 to
32 mileswest of Lodi in the Rio Vista -Montezuma area. The Stockton fault
is considered inactive while the nearest historically active fault is the
Antioch fault located about 3U miles southwest. The infamous and active
San Andreas fault isabout 70 milessouthwest. j -f
called liquefaction. Liquefaction refers to the instantaneous, partial to
complete loss of soil strength, and can result in a catastrophic failure of
foundations.
impacts and Mitigating Measures: The line will be designed to meet
eartnquake standards. It is anticipated that explosives would not be
necessary because bedrock would not be encountered during pole
structure placement.
The preliminary review of reasonably available geotechnical data for the
City of Lodi does not indicate that deposits with liquefaction potential
exists. When a final route has been selected, loading and structure types
finalized, and a geotechnical program completed, a foundation analysis
will addressspecific liquefaction potential.
4.6 Air Qualitv
The project area is located in the northern -most portion of the San Joaquin
Valley Air Basin. The Basin air quality regularly violates the standards for
ozone, carbon monoxide, and total suspended particulates.
From May to October, the prevailing west and northwestwinds may bring
poilutants from the more heavily populated Bay Area into the Lodi area.
From October to February temperature inwirsions may occur that trap
pollutants nearthe earth's surface.
Corona, which is the ionization of air around a charged object, occurs at
the surface of a power line because the electric field strength exceeds the
insulating capability of the surrounding air. During a heavy rain, carona
production increases, but the noise of the rain falling is usually greater
than the sound from the line.
The corona phenomenon also generates ozone and oxides of nitrogen in
the air around lines. Ozone forms naturally from lightning discharge and
from reactions between solar and ultraviolet radiation and air pollutants.
60L:(4/88)mam .5
5`
In the home, electronic air purifiers and some wastewater treatment
systems produce ozone.
Impacts and Mitigating Measures: The proposed project would have no
long term deleterious effect on air quality; however, during construction
some short term increase i n dust and vehicle emissions may be experienced.
Typical mitigation would call for the construction contractor to provide
water trucks or other dust abatement measures in areas along dirt roads
where dust may be a problem.
The estimated maximum incremental ozone levels at ground level due to
the proposed transmission line are insignificant - 1.129725 parts per billion
(PPG). Corona -produced oxidants from the proposed line would not have
an impact.
4.7 Noise
Motorized transportation corridors represent the major noise problem
areas with decibel levels decreasing as the distance between the source and
listener increases. Agricuitural machinery and aircraft operations also
contribute to background noise. Areas exposed to less than day/nigh}
average noise levels (Ldn) of 60 dBA are considered acceptable for
residenti a I development.
The noise level generated by the proposed transformers from 200 feet
would be approximately 45 dBA. During periods of rain and fog some
hissing and crackling may be noticed in the immediate line vicinity
although the noise level for a 23OkV transmission line would not exceed 45
dBA at 59 feet from the outer conductor.
Impactsand Mitigating Measures: The greatest noise impact from the
proposed project would result from construction. Impacts associated with
construction activities are short term in nature and not considered
significant.

Noises associated with the operation and maintenance of transmission lines
and substations are minimal. Substation noises are caused by vibration
induced in the laminated cores of transformers as a result of the
alternating magnetic flux field. Cooling fans may emit high frequency
noise. However, fan noise rarely contributes to the overall noise level of the
transformer. Other substation noises are the result of maintenance vehicles
frequenting the site approximately once or twice weekly Eight foot tall
masonry walls coupled with site landscaping will be used to abate
substation noise.
4.8 Electrical and Magnetic Field Effects
Transmission and distribution lines generate electric fields in their vicinity
because of the unbalanced electric charge on the conductors, which is
associated with the voltage on the transmission line. Magnetic fields are
caused by current flowing in the line conductors. These magnetic and
electric fields produced by power lines can induce voltage on nearby
paraltei conductors such as long fences and irrigation pipes.
Because the voltage and charge on the conductors change polarity at a rate
of 60 times per second, the electric fields near a transmission line also are
time varying at a frequency of 60 -Hz. (Hertz [Hzj is a measurement of cycles
per second.) Electric fields are expressed in units of volts per meter (Wm) or
kilovolts (thousands of volts) per meter (kV/m).
A 60 -Hz magnetic field induces an electric field and current in conducting
biological tissue. The field and current distributions from magnetic field
induction are different from those from electric field induction. For a
human standing erect and grounded in a vertical electric field, the induced
body currents tend to be vertical while the largest total currents are
present in the lower parts of the body. For magnetic fields, the induced
current flows in closed loops in accord with Faraday's law -- a changing
magnetic field through an area generates a voltage around the loop
enclosing the area. The magnetically induced currents are largest at the
periphery of the body. Generally speaking, the electric fields from
transmission and distribution lines will induce larger currents than will the

magnetic fields. However, electric fields are effectively shielded by
buildings, trees, shrgbs, and other structures, while magnetic fields are not.
Since the mid 1960's, tho main electrical environmental issues associated
with power transmission systems have been corona phenomena, visual
impact, and audible noise. However, in the mid -1970's, the issue of
potential health impacts from electric and magnetic fields surfaced in New
York State.
Under a 1980 agreement negotiated between the New York State Public
Service Commission and the New York Power Authority, a five million
dollar research project wj§ conducted over a five year period. The goal of
this projectwas to determine whether there are health hazards associatedi
with electric and magnetic fields produced by power transmission lines„
especially 765kV lines, Me results of this study, Biological Effects of Power
Line Fields. New York Stale Power Lines Project, Scientific Advisory Paned
Final Report, were publishoecl in July 1987.
This project conducted rp?§earth in seven general subject areas. The results
in one of these areas, epidemiology of cancer incidence in children, has
produced a great deal of Ontroversy. This David 0_ Savitz, PhD. study was
conducted to verify the rgsults of a similar study completed in 1979 by
Wertheimer & Leepgr, Both of these studies used incidence data from the
Denver, Colorado area.
The earlier study had Won criticized fog the following reasons:
• The wire coding s(heme used did not take into account magnetic
field contributions from sources other than external electric power
lines, such ashousehold appliances and unbalanced return currents..
tE
Procedures used for estimating the level of the magnetic field) W,
strengths from the wire coding scheme could have poor correlation
to actual magnetic field strengths.
nKYi
The latest results of the Savitz study were introduced at the November 1987
DOE/EPRI Contractors Review in Kansas City. Dr. Savitz has pointed out on
several occasions during the past several months that the results of his
study are "suggestive"only.
"The study by Savitz confirms the results of the previous studies to some
extent and adds -to the credibility of the hypothesis that exposure to
extremely -low -frequency magnetic fields might be a cause of childhood
cancer. It is important to bear in mind, however, that research in basic
sciences has not revealed any mechanismsthat could explain the role of the
magnetic fields in the origin of cancer. Furthermore, the strengths of the
magnetic fields observed in these studies are low, in the sense that one
might be exposed to such fields almost anywhere in the environment; they
are also low in ?hesense that they are approximately only 1/1000 of the
strength of the fields usually used in experimental settings."
The Electromagnetic Energy Policy Alliance report concluded that the
"epidemiological studies yield negative or equivocal results," and that
most of the laboratory studies "are either negative, suffer from poor
experimental design, or give rise to several unresolved questions which
must be answered before their conclusions can be accepted." Further, it
stated that "the overall statistical quality of these paperswas low."
The IEEE has revised and expanded Standard 644-1979, Recommended
Practices for Measurement of Electric and Magnetic Fields for AC Power
Lines. The revision, IEEE Standard 644-1987, states the purpose of the
standard is "to establish uniform procedures for the measurement of
powerfrequency electric and magneticfields from alternating current (AQ
overhead power lines and for the calibration of meters used in these
measurements. These procedures apply to the measurement of electric and
magnetic fields close to ground level. They can also be tentatively applied
to electric field measurements near an energized conductor or structure
with limitations outlined (in this standard]."

Currently, electric field regulations exist in six states and one city. The
following is a state by state summary of electricfield limit regulations:
• Minnesota, administered by the Environmental Quality Board, allows
8kV/meter within the right ofway for li es that are 200kV and above.
• Montana Board of Natural Resources& Conservation specifies 1kWm at
the edge of the right of way for lines operating above 69kV except for
those 230kV or less that are ten miles in length or less. However, the
landowner from whom the easement is obtained may waive the 1 kV/m
edge of right of way limit.
® New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has no formal
line routing process but does specify a guideline of 3kV/m for the edge
of right of way limit.
• New 'fork Public Service Commission's routing jurisdiction applies to
linesthat are one miie or longer with an operating voltage of 125kV or
higher, and those lines operating between 100 and 125kV that are ten
miles or longer. The limit is 1.6kV/m atthe edge of the right of way.
• North Dakota Public Service Commission applies an informal
requirement of 9kWm within the right cf way to lines with an
operating voltage of 11 5k or higher.
® Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council imposes a formal administrative
rule of 9kWm within the right of way for lines that operate at 230kV
and above, are longer than ten miles, and are routed through two or
more political subdivisions.
To date, the CKy of Austin, Texas is the only municipality that sets criteria
for lines that are 345kV and over with an acceptable level of 2kWm at the
center of the right of way.
7.7
The calculated electric field forth e City of Lodi's proposed transmission line
for both similar and different phasing (the configuration) of the
conductors would be below lkV/m at the edge of the ROW. The actual
calcutated vaiues are 0.358kV/m for similar phasing and 0.406kV/m for
different phasing. These levels are considered to be acceptable and are
consistentwith other existing 230kV lines. -
'T,;e predicted maximum current for the transmission line would be 750
amps per conductor. The resulting maximum magnetic field would be 135
milligauss at the center of the ROW, and 69 milligauss at the edge of the
ROW.
Magnetic fields within houses typicality range from 0.1 to 50 milligauss.
Within several inchesof hausehold appliances, typical levelscan be 10to 20
times higher.
Based on the low levels of magnetic fields from the proposed line and the
comparable levels to typical exposure within homes, it is highly unlikely
that the levels of magnetic fields from the proposed line would have any
adverse effect on biological systems.
Impactsand Mitigating Measures: In the area of the substation, trees and
shrubs may be used to effectively shield the electrical fields. The walls,
sheet rock, and other building materials of a dwelling also act as a shield
against electrical fields.
As part of an effort to inform the public about the latest research on the
effects of magnetic fields, a letter prepared by Dr. David O. Carpenter,
Executive Secretary of the New York State Poweriines Projectwill be mailed
to any affected landowner who requests additional information. (See
Appendix F.)
4.9 Visual Resources
The proposed transmission line structures would be approximately 101 feet
tall. Atthe base, the in-line structure diameter would be four feet. Several
structures (deadend or angle structures) will require bases u p to six feet in
diameter. The davit arms for supporting the conductors would extend
approximately eighteen feet from either side of the structure.
The project area presently contains man-made facilities that impose a
variety of patterns and contrasts upon the landscape. These existing
structures include electrical transmission lines, and communication towers
in excess of one hundred feet in height, and other utility poles varying in
height from forty to seventy feet. Other air space intrusions consist of
outdoor advertising signs, highway and railroad crossing signs, and
buitdings.
The low topographic relief of the San Joaquin Valley does not allow
transmission linesto bescreened by natural features. Native and domestic
vegetation is of low heights and density so as to provide intermittent
screening of structure bases only. Therefore, the contrast of the vertical
structures and aerial horizontal lines of the conductors will be evident to
the foreground and middle ground views inthe project vicinity.
Impacts and Mitigating Measures: The addition of the transmission line
structures to the existing visual setting of the area would be a residual
impact, evident during the entire lifetime of the facilities. With the
exception of the railroad link and the cross country alternative, all of the
proposed routes are along existing roads. Therefore, the line would be
seen mainly by persons living and traveling along the roads. The City of
Lodi is committed to avoiding structure placement in front of any
residential or commercial dwelling. The desires of the local landowners
and residentswill be considered when making those placementdecisions.
Design features of the transmission line that will mitigate visual effects
800-1,300 feet; and using single steel poles that represent narrow profile
of 4-6 feet in diameter.
Additional action to be taken to mitigate visual impact of the project will
be screening the substation from the roadway with masonry walls and
plantings.
4.10 Cultural Resources
Consultation with the Central California information Center (Appendix G)
has indicated that there are "two registered cultural resources or sites
found within a one mile radius of the northern periphery of the project
area, and one cultural resource located about 7,500 feet north of Route 12
between Ray and Free Roads." This information has been forwarded to
the California State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) for their review,
fmpacts and Mitigating Measures: Since the preferred route avoids the
recorded sites, no impacts are anticipated. However, should construction
uncover any remains, impacts can typically be mitigated by spanning the
site.
Since the entire area has been extensively disturbed by agricuiture and
other land uses, it is improbable that significant cultural resources wouid
be discovered as a result of project -related activities. However, in the event
an archaeological site and/or any historical remains are discovered during
construction activities, the City of Lodi shall immediately notify the
California SHPO and solicit mitigation recommendations for appropriate
action.
4.11 Socio-economicsand Community Resources
The economic base of the area is as a center for the processing and delivery
of the agribusiness products of the surrounding rural area. Lodi also serves
as a bedroom community for many residents who commute for
employment, primarily to Stockton or Sacramento, and more recently the
Bay Area.

The major employers in the Lodi labor market area, which includes nearly
75,000 persons, are General Mills, Goehring Meat, Inc., Pacific Coast
Producers, Holz Rubber Company, Guild Winery, and Valley Industries. The
proposed facilities expansion by General Mills represents substantial and
reliable productivity.
Major non -manufacturing employers include: Lodi Unified School District,
Lodi Memorial Hospital, Lodi Community Hospital, The City of Lodi,
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Pacific Telephone and Mervyns department
store.
Social and economic impacts resulting from implementation of the
proposed action would be positive. The contractor performing construction
on the facilities would be encouraged to hire local labor, while the goods
and services pertinent to construction personnel and operations (e.g.,
motels, restaurants, service stations, and recreational facilities) as well as
su;,clry construction materials would be purchased from the local
commercial sectors, thereby further bolstering the area's economy. All
contractors and subcontractors must be equal opportunity employers.
Probably the most significant impact of the proposed construction would
be the positive impact that a more adequate and reliable energy supply
would have on the lifestyle and livelihood of the City's consumers. Existing
income producing operations may be expanded or utilize more modern
technological methods; opportunity for new industry may be enhanced.
Consumers will be assured of the quality of electric service to which they
are entitled.
Impacts and Mitigating Measures: The potential impacts of the proposed
transmission line on population and income are indirect. Yet the
transmission line could have secondary impacts by removing an obstacle to
population growth thereby allowing development at general planned
densities.

4.12 Land Use
Land use adjacent to the alternative routes, includes residential,
commercial, highway services, agricultural, and religious facilities.
Agricultural uses include row crops, pasture, horse farms, dairies, nurseries,
greenhouses, vineyards, orchards, wineries, and farm produce stands. Most
of the zoning in the county is GA -40, or general agriculture with a forty
acre mirt. mum subdivision of land.
The California Land Conservation Act, known as the Williamson Act, of
1965 (as amended) provides one means of encouragement for the
preservation of agricultural land. One of the provisions of the program is
that agricultural land to be included in the conservation program mustfirst
be designated as an agricultural preserve by the County Board of
Supervisors. Land within the preserve may be restricted to agricultural uses
and uses compatible with agriculture Ey means of contracts between the
owner and the County.
The Williamson Act has been implemented in San Joaquin County, with t e
first agricultural preserves being established by the Board of Supervisors in
1969. The area surrounding the City of Lodi is all land defined as prime
land that is currently in preserve, and has been rezoned to GA -40, the
minimum zoning cl�.ssification.
The Williamson Act does allow for the taking of land within an agricultural
preservethat may be required by a public agency for a public use, as long as
the location is not based primarily OR a consideration of the lower cost of
acquiring the land in an agricultural preserve.
Over the past ten years, the City of Lodi has also been faced with the issue
of controlling expansion and growth of residentiai and other uses while
protecting ti.e-gricultural lands. The Williamson Act has created pressures
on local government resulting in numerous difficult questions. in an effort
to control and plan for future development, the City enacted legislation by
which any parcel of land to be annexed into the City would require a

majority vote of the electorate. This action is intended to improve the
quality of the environment for the residents and serve to protect the dir
quality by retaining land in agricultural production.
impacts and Mitigating Measures: The project as proposed would take
approximately seventeen acres out of agricultural production;
subsequently being replaced with transmission line poles, switching
station, and substation facilities. To ensure as little an impact as possible
upon agricultural activities, the structure placement, although occurring on
private land, would be as close to the highway right of way as possible, and
utilize existing access; assuming use of the preferred alternative.
Pursuant to the Williamson Act, the San Joaquin County Board of
Superviscrs will be notified and their comments solicited with respect to
the effect of the location of public improvements on the land within
agricultural preserve.
Current patterns of crop dusting may be affected by the presence of these
structures; however, this problem would be reduced by avoiding diagonal
routing across fields, routing along existing roadway edges, and routing in-
line with the predominant flight path over fields, rather than at right
angles to those flight paths.
Consultation with the California Division of Aeronautics resulted in the
following statement from Jack D. Kemmerly, Chief, "The preferred
aiternative wilt place transmission lines approximately 1 and 1/2 miles to
the north of Kingdon Airpark. This location plus the proposed tower
heights of between 90'-110' should result in no impact to aircraft operation
at the airport." (Appendix G )

5.0 EVALUATION OF ALTERNATE ROUTES
This section draws comparison between the preferred and alternative routes,
and also to the environmental concerns and potential impacts described in
Section 4.0. Alternate rsutes are shown on the project area map in Appendix H.
The Route Evaluation Worksheet provides the basis for this evaluation and
comparison ofalternatives.
5.1 Comparison of Alternate Routes
` Based on the the two preceeding sections (3.0 and 4.0) in which the routes
are evaluated, analyzed and ranked, and environmental impacts are
illustrated, one preferred route and four aiternative routes are
recommended. The alternative routes are described below and are
compared in Appendix E, Table 4, Alternate Route Totals and Ranking.
As stated in section 3.0, criteria were developed to evaluate potential
interconnection points, routes, and substation sites. These evaluation
criteria (listed in Appendix D) represent the engineering, land use, and
environmental concerns present within the study area. Each criterion is
assigned a relative value of importance or weighting. These weights range
in value from 5, which represents a high potential for conflict and/or cost to
1, which represents a low potential for conflict and/or cost. When the
weighting is multiplied by the number of occurrences along a given route
segment or link, the resulting score reflects the compatibility of the link
with the specific criterion. This assumes that all occurrences relative to each
criterion are of equal value. When the links are combined and totaled, the
interconnection point, route and/or site with the fewest occurrences, and
lowest numerical score is considered the best. Appendix E contains all
route and site evaluation worksheets and a summary sheet representing
the preferred route and sites. The reader is encouraged to refer to the
project area map in Appendix H to visually connect the route descriptions
that follow.

5.1.1 Preferred Route = Route 3
This route include, construction of a switching station at
interconnection point IC -2, substation site SS -1, and link segments
3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
This route is 6.18 miles long with a total estimated cost of
$2,353,000. Route 3 has the lowest weighting score of 103.25, and
provides for maximum use of existing road access, and minimal
impact upon agricultural and residential land uses. The route
would begin at the IC -2 point, travel south to Kettleman Lane, and
proceed in an easterly direction to 700 feet west of the intersection
at Lower Sacramento Road. At this juncture, the route would turn
south and travel along the property line for a distance of
approximately 700 feet to the extreme southwest corner.
The existing land use at IC -2 would not be excessively impacted by
the project. Soils would be compacted by the travel of construction
equipment; however, that condition would be short-term. There
do not appear to be any long-term cumulative adverse affects.
A primary advantage of the preferred substation site, SS -1, is its
present use relative to its existing and future development. This
site, a t the extreme southwest corner of Kettleman Lane and Lower
Sacramento Road is presently zoned EA -40, and is planted in sugar
beets, in the second year of their two-year cycle. The parcel is flat,
appears well -drained, and is of suitable size and shape to be well -
utilized. In addition, the termination of the transmission line at this
location precluded the use of link 3.4, which would require an
additional seven -tenths of a mile of transmission line with its
accompanying cost and environmental impacts.
By siting the substation in the extreme southwest corner of this 22
acre parcel, the corner lot of 12 acres at the intersection of tower
Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane is protected for future
60'>: (4/88)mam 64
commercial development.
5.1.2 Alternate Route 1 (links IC -1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.4)
This alternate would have a total distance of :.01 miles with the
switching station constructed at interconnection point IC -1 on
Turner Road. The route would then proceed east along Turner
Road until reaching Lower Sacramento Road, at which point the
route would turn south, extending to the substation site south of
Kettleman Lane.
The greatest impacts and conflicts associated with this route are the
miles of existing distribution and communication lines, which
parallel both sides of Turner Road and tower Sacramento Road, the
special restoration efforts required in an urban area, e.g, curb,
gutter, sidewalk, and street cuts, and the visual impact along
residential areas in the City limits, ail of which combine for a
weighting score of 165.26.
5.1.3 Alternate Route 2 (links IC -2,2-1,2.2,2.3,2.4)
This routewould havethe interconnection point at IC -2, from which
the line would travel southwesterly along Thornton Road for
approximately 1,200 feet. Since Sargent Road does not extend all
the way to Thornton Road, the route would traverse easterly,
bisecting agricultural fields to connect with Sargent Road. The
route then parallels Sargent Road to Lower Sacramento Road, at
which point it turns south until reaching SS -1, south of Kettleman
Lane for a total distance of 6.43 miles. The impact on agricultural
land, aswell asthe numberof miles requiring new construction and
maintenance access, contributed to a weighting score of 149.88,
and eliminated alternate route 2 from consideration.
5.1.4 Alternate Route4 (links IC -2,4.1,4.2,4.3)
This alternate would also emanate from IC -2, and would travel
south along Thornton Road until reaching Kettleman Lane, at
which point, it would turn east and run to Ray Road. At Ray Road,
the route would run south until reaching the old railroad grade, a
distance of approximately 1,400 feet, where the route would travel
cross country in an easterly direction for approximately 3.4 miles
There are high impacts on agricultural operations along this
alignment due to the fields siting, as well as the number of miles
requiring new construction and maintenance access. These impacts
contributed to a weighting score of 119.05 with a total distance of
6.27 miles.
5.1.5 Alternate Route 5 (links IC -2, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4)
Alternate Route 5 would have the switching station constructed at
IC -2, the route would then travel south along the east side of --
Thornton Road until reaching Kettleman Lane, at which point it
would run in ar. easterly direction to the railroad tracks. After
crossing the tracks, the route would turn south and travel along the
east side of the railroad, on private agricultural land, to Harney
Lane. At this location, the line parallels Harney Lane on the south
side for 2.35 miles to the Lower Sacramento Road intersection
where it runs north to SS -1. This route alignment would not only^
remove land from agricultural production and require an additional
$84,800 in construction costs to underground the existing railroad
communication lines but would also parallel miles of existing
distribution and communication line along Harney Lane, along with
irrigation ditches on both sides of Harney Lane. This route would
necessitate a number of angle structures. These impacts
contributed to a weighting score of 174.02 and a distance of 7.54
miles.
5.1.6 Alternate Route 1A (links IC -1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 2.1.1, 3-2,3.3) -1
running east along Turner Road until turning south and paralleling
the railroad to Kettleman Lane. By paralleling the tracks, the line
would avoid the miles of existing distribution and communication
line along' Turner Road, but would increase the construction costs
by $180,000 through mitigation efforts to avoid interference on the
railroad's communication lines- In addition, this route alignment
would remove land from agricultural production, and create
difficulty for agricultural operations by placing pole structures in
the fields.
5.1.7 Alternate Route 113 (linkslC-1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4)
This alternate would also emanate from IC -1, and would travel east
along Turner Road until turning south and paralleling the railroad
to Sargent Road, along which it would travel until reaching Lower
Sacramento Road. At Lower Sacramento Road, the route proceeds
south to Kettleman Lane and SS -1 site for a total distance of 6.59
miles. The miles of existing distribution and communication tines
along Sargent Road, the increase in construction costs by $93,600
for undergrounding the railroad's communication line, and the
mites requiring tree removal or trimming eliminated this alternate
route with a score of 154.26
5.1.8 Alternate Route 1C (links IC -1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, 2.2.1, 3.3)
Beginning at IC -1, this route would travel along Turner Road until
turning south at Davis Road and extending to Kettleman Lane, at
which point itwould run in an easterly direction to SS -1 for a total
distance of 6.89 miles. The major impacts aiong this route are a
result of the visual intrusion along Davis and Turner Roads and
Kettleman Lane, as well as the miles of existing distribution and
communication lines, and tree trimming or removal, with a
weighting score of 140.18.
5.1.9 Alternate Route I D (links IC -1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, 2.3, 2.4)
Alternate Route 1D is similar to 1C with the exception that the
route would travel south along Davis Road to Sargent Road, at
which point it would turn east to Lower Sacramento Road, and
would travel south to Kettleman Lane to the substation site. The
location of the line on Lower Sacramento Road would require
special restoration efforts, would have several angles greater than
600, and would visually impact the medium density residential
deveiopments within the City limits. The weighting score is 155.05
with a total distance of 7.00 miles.
5. 1.10 Alternate Route 2A (links IC -2, 2.1, 2.1.1, 3.2, 3.3)
With the switching station constructed at IC -2 east of Thornton
Road, this route would travel south along Thornton Road and
connect to Sargent Road via a field edge dirt road rather than
4N...
interrupting agricultural activities and creating the necessity of
totally new construction and maintenance access by cutting straight
east across cultivated fields. At the intersection of Ray and Sargent
Roads, the line would follow an easterly direction until turning
south at the railroad tracks and would parallel the tracks until ^'
reaching Kettleman Lane, at which point itwould travel easttojust
before the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road where itwould �..
turn south and proceed to the substation site. Since the route
would parallel the railroad tracks and create interference on the
railroad's communication lines resulting in an increase of $86,400 k....
to construction costs to undergroundthe communication lines, this
alternate has a score of 124.06 a n d a tota I distance of 6.07 miles,
5.1.11 Alternate Route 2B (links IC -2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 3.3)
Following the same departure from the switching station site as
Alternate Route2B, this route would travel east along Sargent Road «.{
until reaching Davis Road, at which point it would turn south to
Kettleman Lane where itwould proceed in an easterly direction to
the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road where it would turn
south and proceed to the subst,*ion site. The constraints are similar
to Alternate Route 2A, with a total weighting score of 135.01 for a
distance of 6.32 miles.
5.2 Comparison of Alternate Single Circuit Routes
Since two separate single circuit alternatives have been considered as a
means of providing additional transmission line reliabiiity, and these routes
represent unique opportunities, three primary single circuit routes have
been examined.
Although there are no new primary routes within the single circuit
scenario, the link combinations reflect the necessity of maintaining
integrity for each circuit - no circuit or pole occupies a common right of
way.
The same constraints exist for the alternate single circuit routes as for the
double circuit alternate routes.
5.2.1 Alternate Single Circuit Route 1 (links IC -2, 2.1,2.2, 2.3, 2.4
and IC -2, 3.1,3:2, 3.3)
With the switching station located at IC -2, one single circuit route
follows Route 3, while the second single circuit follows Route 2 to the
referred substation site south of the intersection of Kettleman Lane
and Lower Sacramento Road. The combined distance for these single
circuit routes is 12.61 mileswith a weighting score of 238.20.
5.2.2 Alternate Single Circuit Route 2 (links IC -2,2-1, 2.1.1, 3.2,3-3
5.2.3 Alternate Single Circuit Route 3 (linkSIC-2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 3.3
and IC -2, 5.1,5.2, 5.3, 5.4)
One single circuit departs IC -2 and follows the path of Route 2B while
the other single circuit takes the same direction as Route 5. This _
configuration, as is the case with the other two separate single circuit
routes, avoids a common right of way. The weighting score is 294.58
and the total distance is 13.86 miles.
5.3 Comparison of Substation Sites
Three sites nearthe City's Henning Substation have been considered forthe
new 230-60kV substation. While all three locations are acceptable, the
preferred site at this time is located approximately 700 feet south of the
southwest corner of the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and
Kettleman Lane
5.3.1 Substation Option SS -1
This site is located on the south side of Kettleman Lane at the
extreme southwest corner of Kettleman and Lower Sacramento
Road. Its major advantages are a shorter 230kV line than option
SS -3 and lower site purchase and preparation costs than SS -2. Its
disadvantage is that the 60kV lines required to connect to the City's
existing transmission system are more complicated and costly than
for the other sites. However, there is enough acreage at this
location to accommodate the ten acre substation and associated
facilities site, as well as a 12 acre site for future commercial
development at the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and
Kettleman Lane. The estimated acquisition, site preparation, and"+
construction costs for a substation a t the SS -1 site is $4,505,000. WA
>na
5.3.2 Substation Option SS -2
Lower Sacramento Road. Advantages of this site include less 230kV
line than option SS -3 and less new 60kV line than option SS -1. The
disadvantages are this site has the highest purchase cost of all
alternatives, has recently been acquired as the site for future
commercial development, and has an existing gas station that
would require removal. The estimated acquisition, site preparation,
and construction costs of a substation at the SS -2 site is $5,255,000.
5.3.3 Substation Option SS -3
This site is located on the north side of Kettleman Lane just west of
the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID)canal that is adjacent to
Henning Substation. It is an acceptable site physically and
electrically. !ts advantage is easy access to the 60kV line to Henning
Substation and the 60kV loop to Killeiea and McLane Substations.
Its disadvantages are additional 230kV line with distribution
underbuild would be required from Lower Sacramento Road to the
substation, and the proximity of the WID canal with the resultant
operations and maintenance difficulties. The estimated acquisition,
site preparation, and construction costs for a substation at the SS -3
site is 84,505,000.
5.3.4 Substation Option SS -4
Construction of the 230-60kV substation at the site of the WESTERN
interconnection was also considered, but rejected for the following
reasons:
• Three (3) 60kV circuitswould have to be constructed from the
new station to the City's 60kV transmission system to provide
the same capacity, reliability and flexibility as the proposed
230kV interconnect line.
• A double circuit 60kV line would likely be constructed along
the route of the proposed 230kV line, resulting in almost
60L: (4188)mam 71
identical right of way requirements and environmental
considerations.
• An additional single circuit 60kV line would be constructed
parallel to Turner Road, Sargent Road, Harney Lane, or along
the cross-country route requiring additional right of way and
increasing the environmental impacts.
• Losses on the 60kV lines would be significantly greater than a
230kV lines.
• Voltage regulation on the 60kV circuits would be
questionable.
5.4 Comparison of Interconnection Point Alternatives
Two alternative points of Western interconnection have been identified.
The points are located approximately five miles west of Lodi within the
right of way of an existing WESTERN 230kV transmission line. A second
WESTERN 230kV transmission line and a PG&E 230kV transmission line are
also present in this right of way corridor.
5.4.1 Interconnection Point# 1 (IC -1)
This location is immediately east of Thornton Road on the south
side of Turner Road. The spacing of existing WESTERN and PG&E
transmission line towers r)resents U somewhat difficult
arrangement for the design and construction of a switching
station/interconnection point at this location. Other constraints at
this site are imposed by the proximity of a residence and farm
buildings (within 300 feet), and the impacts of a switching station
within 300 feet of existing towers, thereby causing a cumulative
negative effect upon agricultural operations.
5.4.2 Interconnection Point#2 (IC -2)
This site is approximately three-quarters of a mile south of Turner
72
60L:(4/88)mam
Road, east of Thornton Road. The spacing of existing transmission
�- line towers at this location optimizes the ability to construct a
switching station that would allow for enough clearance under the
�. structures. While the area has historically been cultivated (although
currently fallow), the proposed 260' x 350' switching station and
associated facilities would encompass seven acres stretching from
the edge of Thornton Road, which would not create as great of an
impactto agricultural operations as siting a facility in the middle of
the field.
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
6.1 Sicinificant and Unavoidable Environmental Effects
As has been stated several times in preceding sections of this document,
there are no significant environmental effects associated with the City of
Lodi's 230kV transmission line, switching station, and associated substation
facilities.
Potential significant impacts, such as effects upon agricultural activities,
effects on existing high density residential and commercial areas, visual
impacts, and the unknown effects of electric and magnetic fields, were
identified during routing studies and from discussions with governing
agencies' personnel. However, since each alternative route would traverse
prime farm land, would pass residential and commercial areas, and would
expose humans and animals to electric and magnetic fields, these
unavoidable project impacts would be minimized by appropriate
mitigation as described in Section 4.
Public comment will be received subsequent to the availability of the Draft
EIR. Public comment will be addressed and incorporated into the Final
Environmental impact Report and factored into the overall project
evaluation.
;4: '... .', ..,....'. am :(4i88)m 73.
60. , : .
6.2 Mitiqation Measures Proposed to Minimize the Environmental Effects
Types of impacts were first identified by considering what effects activities
associated with the proposed action could have on the pre -project -
environment. Each alternative corridor identified for the project
encompasses a 50 foot wide right of way. All potential impacts occurring _.
within 1,300 feet of the right of way were analyzed and evaluated in
Section 3, tables 2, 3, 8 4; examined in Section 4, and summarized in
fection 5. Mitigating measures were also identified within each y.
er vironmental category and were specific to the impact in Section 4.
6.3 The Relationship Between Local Short-term Uses of Man's Environment and
the Maintenance and Enhancement of Lonq-term Productivity.
For purposes of this section, short-term has been defined as 35-40 years -
(the estimated life of the proposed project), and long-term as the period
thereafter.
Within the life of the project, the construction phase would represent the
period of greatest environmental impact involving approximately six miles
of 230kV transmission right of way for the preferred route.
Construction within the preferred corridor would result in disturbance to
approximately seven acres for transmission, structure and line installation,
seven acres for construction of a switching station, and ten acres for
installation of the new 230kV-6OkV substation and associated facilities.
Following the construction phase of the project, the majority of the land
disturbed would begin to revert to its preconstruction use. At each location`s
an approximate 150 square foot area would be disturbed by the Y..
construction with about one-half of the disturbed area to be rehabilitated. *41
The total area to be occupied by the typical tangent single pole structure •�
would be approximately 80 square feet. The final area surrounding the ¢w�
substation site would occupy approximately ten acres. ��
Most resources within the physical, biological, human, and cultural
environments would experience short-tc rm impacts resulting from
construction activities. Long-term effects and productivity would depend
on the continued existence of the proposed project's facilities, or the
continued use of the right of way as a utility corridor.
6.4 Significant_ Irreversible Environmental Chanqes and Commitment of
Resources committed to the proposed projectwould be material and non-
material, and wouid include financial resources. Irreversible commitment
of resources for the purpose of this section have been interpreted to mean
those resources that are committed to the proj:_!:+ ?nd wouid continue to
be committed throughout the estimated 35-40 year fife of the project, and
beyond as the linewould remain in service as long as electricity to the City's
subject areas is required.
irreversible commitment of resources would apply to biological and visual
resources. Biological resources wouid be irreversibly committed due to the
disturbance and loss to vegetation and wildlife during construction and
operation. Visually the line would represent a degradation of the natural
scenicquality for the life of the project.
6.5 Gnowih inducing Jmpacts
Growth inducing impacts resulting from construction of the proposed
project would not directly foster economic or population growth. The
City's peak load is presently exceeding the stated capacity of the PG&E
transmission facilities overwhich the City currently receivesall of its power.
Residential and industrial subdivisions, and any future annexation impacts
must be assessed when long-term needs are considered, and water, sewer,
roads, and electricity eventually provided. The project would provide
adequate, reliable electric service to these steadily growing areas.
The areas of todi that the project is proposed to service are areasthat have
steadily increasing populations and commercial development. Despite the
< ... '.601:(4/88)mam .75
x
x --
M
fact that annexation initiatives continue to be defeated, thereby
precluding the need for immediate community services for new property,
the growth and expansion of existing industrial developments continue to
occur. One such expansion is anticipated to require an additional 10 to 12
megawattsof power by 1990.

CITY OF LODI
DIRECT INTERCONNECTION PROJECT
Project Purpose
The City of Lodi (City) operates transmission and distribution systems which provide
reliable electric service to the City's customers. At present, the City does not
independently own or operate any generation facilities. However, through its
membership in the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) and through
participation in several NCPA resource projects, the City has access to several long-
term power resources. The City, through its membership in the Transmission
Agency of Northern California (TANC), is also participating in the development ciE
the California -Oregon Transmission Project (COTP) which wiil enable the City
(through NCPA) to participate in the power market in the Pacific Northwest. The
City also has an allocation of federal power from the Western Area Power
Administration (WESTERN) Central Valley Project(CVP).
Under its present operating configuration, the City must wheel its non -WESTERN
resources through the interconnected transmission system of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E).
The existing system, which serves the City, consists of four 60kV feeders from PG&E's
Lockeford Substation to PG&E's Lodi Substation, which is adjacent and connects to
the City's Killelea Substation. The terms and conditionswhich control the City-PGSE
interconnection are detailed in a 1983 Interconnection Agreement between PG&E
and NCPA. Based upon NCPA forecasts of peak loads, and PG&E's earlier forecasts
of available capacity between Lockeford and Lodi, this agreement provides for
approximately 77 megawatts (MW) of firm transmission service between the PG&E
system and Lodi in the year 1988, prior to system reinforcement. PG&E has agreed
-co provide for additional load on the existing transmission lines. This system will
require yet to be determined reconstruction in the near future. This condition is
being reviewed on a yearly basis and will eventually result in a request by PG&E for

the City to pay for reconstruction of PG&E's lines. An alternative would be for the
City to constructthe proposed interconnection with WESTERN.
The City is currently contemplating the construction of a direct transmission
interconnection between the City's system and the WESTERN transmission system.
The construction of Direct tnterconnection Project (Project)with WESTERN would
provide the City with several benefits. The benefits inciude the following:
1. Provide fortransmission service for the City's WESTERN power allocation and
the City's share of other joint projects (NCPA *Resources,and purchases
through the California -Oregon Transmission Project).
2. Improve the reliability of service and voltage regulation to the City's
customers in the face of load growth by increasing the number of ties to the
City with the Northern California Transmission system.
3. Provide firm, reliable capacity to new customers, particularly to anticipated
industrial growth.
4. Enable the City to enter into future transactions on a direct basis with
WESTERN and others.
5. Reduce the long-term cost cf service to the City's power customers through
rate stabi I izati on.
Given the present phase of project feasibility cost savings can potentially be realized
through the implementation of this Project. first, with a direct interconnection in
place, the City would receive a direct service discount on power purchases from
WESTERN Second, there are considerable differences between the wheeling rates
charged by WESTERN and those charged by PG&E. Based on preliminary
calculations, the wheeling savings could be significant. An in-depth cost analysis
will be conducted by NCPA during fate 1987- early 1988.

As the project progresses, detailed economic analyses and engineering planning
studies will be conducted. These data will be used to further assess the potential
project benefits, and would be incorporated into subsequent project
documentation.
Prosect Description
Conceptually, the projectwould consist of three major elements:
® Connection to WESTERN Transmission Lines
a 230kV Transmission Line
® 230-60kV Substation
Preliminary siting analysis has identified suitable sites to interconnect with the
WESTERN Transmission line north of State Highway 12 (Kettleman Lane) between I5
and Thornton Road. (See Project Area Map - Appendix A) `This interconnection
would require either installing a new structure mid -span between two existing
transmission towers, or replacing an existing tower.
From the point of interconnection with WESTERN's system, a double circuit 230kV
transmission line would be constructed. As presently conceived, the line would be
built using single tubular steel poles (see drawing, Appendix B). The transmission
line would terminate at a new 230-60kV substation to be constructed adjacent to
the City's Henning Substation at Kettleman Lane and Ham Lane. The new
substation will be designed for reliability and flexibility. Two (2) 230-60kV
transformers wi I I be included, each having the capacityto providefor the entire City
load under most conditions. The 60kV portion of the new station will be designed
as a six (6) breaker ring bus. Thiswill allow the Mctane Substation and the Henning
Substation to be on separate circuits and will provide for two (2) future 60kV circuits
which will be needed to support future growth. No remodeling of the existing
Henning Substation will be required and no outage will be required to make the
new connections. Several alternative transmission line routes have been identified.
Prior to final route selection it may be necessary to define the probable impacts
upon alternative routes, and to define the most environmentally preferred and cost
effective route. However, preliminary studies indicate a feasible alternative may be
to parallel Kettleman Lane from near the I/Thornton Road intersection to the new
substation, a distance of approximately six miles. The transmission line right of way

would require the acquisition of easements on private lands, and an encroachment
permitfrom CALTRANS.
To accommodate the capacity and voltage of the transmission line, a new substation
would be required. In order to connect to the City's existing system, the new
substation, requiring approximately three acres, would be constructed adjacent to
the Henning Substation on K_ttleman Lane.
The interconnection of WESTERN and City facilities would enable WESTERN to loop
its system througit City facilities. That interconnection would enhance reliability
and accommodate City load growth, such as the facilities expansion proposed by
General Mills.

man-made facilities which impose a variety of patterns and contrasts
upon the landscape. These existing structures include electricai
transmission lines, and communication towers in excess of one hundred

Environmental Setting
introduction
The Project area is bounded roughly by I5 on the west, Ham Lane on the east,
Turner Road on the north and Kettleman Lane (Hwy 12) on the south. The majority
of the project area iswithin the County, except fora short connection between the
proposed new substation and the Henning Substation, and two areas of residential
development west of Lower Sacramento Road.
The scale and type of development along alternative routes varies greatly. Turner
and Sargent Roads are typical quiet country lanes bordered by family farm
operations. Kettleman Lane is a major transportation corridor through agricultural
lands. Development is limited to isolated dwelling/agriculture/commercial related
structures numbering fewer than a dozen. In contrast however, any alternative r .
utilizing portions of Lower Sacramento Road would encounter much higher density
residential and commercial/retail development.
1. Living Components
1.1 Vegetation
in areas of intensive agricultural practices, California's irrigated agriculture
has largely replaced native vegetation. This is particularly true in the Central
Valley where the importation of water from the Sierras has allowed
extensive conversion of natural habitat to agricultural uses. Vegetation
within the Project area consists almost exclusively of agricultural crops -
Vineyards constitute the most agricultural acreage. Other crops of alfalfa,
almonds, English walnuts, corn, sugar beets, and market produce are
representative in lesser acreages. Minor plots of wasteland are present as
drainage ditches, and areas severed from a larger parcel by other land uses.
Project vegetation removal would be confined to that displaced during
structure placement, as well as some trampling and displacement by
construction vehicles along the right of way.
1.2 Wildlife
Along historyof intensive agricultural practiceson landswitnin the Project
area has eliminated most native wildlife habitats. Wildlife within the study
area consists mainly of small mammals, common song birds and raptors,
shore birdsand ducks, and representative common reptiles and amphibians.
No adverse impacts to area wildlife are anticipated as a result of placement
and presence of proposed facilities.
1.3 Threatened and Endangered Species
No state or federally listed threatened or endangered taxa are found within
the immediate project area. However, a check of the California Natural
Diversity Data Base indicates the presence within close proximity to the
study area of three species with state and/or federal protective status. The
three species are: Swainson's Hawk, California Black Rail, and the Giant
Garter Snake. Swainson's Hawk sitings have been fairly common four to five
miles north and south of the project area; however, no nests have been
found. California Black Rail are known to inhabit the headwaters of White
Slough,approximately six miles southwest of the study area. Several
locations nearthe Project area are known to harbor the Giant Garter Snake.
The closest known site is approximately eight -tenths of a mile west of the
Thornton Road, Highway 12intersection.
The project would not displace any representative of a threatened or
endangered species, norwould their habitats be adversely affected.
2. Non -Living Components
2.1 Soils
According to generalized Soil Classifications mapped and described in the
San Joaquin County General Plan (pp. 14&15), the majority of lands in the
Lodi area consist of soils of the Hanford -Greenfield Association. These lands
are rated by the US. Soii Conservation Service as Class I and 11. The capability --
definition of this classification is: "Land able to produce most locally
adaptable crops and its ability to produce is only slightly limited by any
characteristic of the soil itself." (U.S.D.A., S.C.S. Report and general Soil
Map, San Joaquin County, California, March 1967.) These lands are
�onisidered prime farm lands, and represent a valuable county resource. The _
proposed action would not pose any long term impacts on area soils.
For engineering purposes, the Hanford -Greenfield Association has a bearing
capacity of about 2000 pounds per square foot, and no expansive
characteristics, making it a satisfactory load bearing soii.
2.2 Geology and Seismicity
The Project area is located in the San Joaquin Valley portion of the Central
Valley of California. A sequence of sedimentary rocks up to 60,000 feet thick
has filled the valley. These deposits are underlain by basement rocks
composed of metasediments, volcanics, and granites. The Midland Fault
Zone is the nearest seismic area, and lies approximately 20 miles west of
Lodi. Based upon the inactive status of this fault, the area has not been
identified as a Special Studies Zone within the definitions of the Alquist-
Priolo Act. However, appropriate design elements would be utilized to
conform to Seismic Zone 3 requirements.
2.3 Air Quality
The Project area is located within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin.
Violations of air quality standards occur periodically as a result of heavy
vehicular traffic during stagnant atmospheric conditions.
The proposed project would have no long term deleterious affect on air
quality. Some short term increase in dust and vehicle emissions may be
experienced during construction.
2.4 Visual Resources
(Seepage 8, item 22)
48IL t t4L Initial study 12
m 1987 POWER Engineers Incorporated
2.5 Cultural Resources
According to records of the California State Office of Historic Preservation,
no registered culturai resources or sites 3re found within the project area.
As the entire area traversed by alternative routes has been extensively
disturbed by agriculture and other land uses, it is highly unlikely that
significant cultural resources would be discovered via Project related
activities. In the event a culturally significant site were encountered,
recommendations for mitigation would be solicited from the California
SHPO and appropriate action taken.
2.6 Floodplains and Wetlands
No Project lands are within a 100 year floodplain. In the western -most
project area, small sections of drainage -ways represent wetland areas.
However, the area of wetland acreage is very small. No unique wetland
wildiife habitat is found in t' . Project area. In the even. a structure must be
placed in a wetland, appropriate design criteria wouid be utilized to ensure
structure and line integrity. Subsequent to commencing line design, site
specific analyses would be conducted and appropriate recommendations
made. Typical options available to the designer include drilled pier and
casing, driven pile, or spread footer foundation.
2.7 Land Use and Ownership
All lands traversed by proposed alternative routes are in private or
CALTRANS ownership. The preferred route is entirely within San Joaquin
County, and traverses lands mostly in agricultural uses. Commercial uses are
represented by the Saddle City highway services complex at IS and Highway
12; a tackle and bait shop, and two roadside fruit and vegetable markets on
Highway 12. Zoning within the Project Area is primarily GA -40 - General
Agriculture - 40 acre minimum; HS - Highway Service; EA/AP-40 - Exclusive
Agriculture/Agricultural Products - 40 acre minimum; C -2/L - Community
Commercial/Limited Combining Zone; with the commercial developments
being H -S, EA/AP-40, C -2/L. The project as proposed would take
approximately 4.5 acres out of agricultural production; being replaced with
transmission line poles and substation facilities.
2.8 Noise
In San Joaquin County, transportation corridors, both highway and railroad,
represent the major noise problem areas. This is especially so within the
Project area where traffic on I5, Highway 12, and
generates the highest noise levels. Agricultural
operations also contribute to the background noise.

machinery and aircraft
The proposed Project would effect short-term increases in noise levels with
the use of various vehicles and machinery during construction a n d
maintenance. During periods of rain and fog some hissing and crackling
may be noticed in the immediate line vicinity. This noise level may reach
45dBA at 50 feet from the outer conductor of a line such as that being
proposed. This ievel is approximately the same as experienced in most
residences located in urban areas. Noise generated by substation
equipmentwould be confined to an approximate 45dBA level of the power
transformers.
The San Joaquin Council of Governments allows a noise level of 65dBA at
the property line in residential developments.
2.9 Electrical Effects
Electric fields in the vicinity of overhead high-voltage transmission lines are
a result of voltage on the line conductors. Magnetic fields are caused by
currentflowing inthe lineconductors.
Normally there are no adverse perceivable effects of electric fields from
those lines which operate at a voltage of 230,000 volts or less. No adverse
effects are anticipated to be perceived as result of Project facilities.
Magnetic field effects of overhead transmission lines are normally of much
less significance than electric field effects. An exception might exist for very
long, parallel metal objects. Electrical grounding of such objects to
eliminate perceptible field effects may be necessary at more than one
location and the electrical continuity of these objects may have to be
broken.
Electric utilities normally ground or bond objects as necessary during line
construction. The Citywould work with property owners to ensure that any
new installations of fixed metal objects will not deliver annoying shocks.
The City would also investigate and help resolve any reported instances of
annoyance.
In general, overhead high-voltage transmission lines do not interfere with
normal television or radio reception off the utility right of way. However,
interference attributable to high-voltage lines is possible with a location
close to the right of way, weak broadcast signals, an abnormal line
condition, or poor receiving equipment. Utility experience has been that
such occurrences are few and generaily correctable. While transmission lines
are not often found to be the cause of interference, the City would be
prepared to investigate and resolve complaints.

APPENDIX D
ROUTE AND SITE EVALUATION CRITERIA
This appendix discusses each of the criteria the routing team developed to evaluate
aiternative points of interconnection, transmission line routes and substation sites.
These criteria were used for identifying general land use, engineering and
environmental conditions that pose constraints to routing a transmission line and
siting substations. Weight assignments for these criteria, commensurate with the
degree of conflict and/or cost, are also reviewed. This appendix is divided into three
sectionswith three main categories each: a section each for interconnection points,
transmission line, and substation with each section addressing land use,
engineering and environmental considerations.
1.0 TRANSMISSION LINE EVALUATION CRITERIA
1.1 Land Use Considerations
Number of buildings requiring removal or relocation. Pursuant to the
California Relocation Act, this addresses the greatest direct impact of a
transmission line, particularly from an economic factor, and therefore was
assigned a weight of 5. As presently envisioned with a fifty foot right of
way, the preferred alignment would not require buildingsto be relocated.
Mites of line of existing distribution/communication of other utilities.
Special engineering allowances have to be made when a distribution line is
paralleled. If the transmission line is to be built alongside the existing
distribution line, then additional right of way is required to provide
adequate clearances. If the new line is built where the distribution is
located, then the distribution line must be relocated in one of three ways:
on the new structures (underbuild), below the new structures
(underground), or on the other side of the road. Because these options
require special land use, engineering considerations, and additional cost
this factor was given a weight of 4.
Miles of line requiring special restoration efforts. Within environmentally
hardened urban areas, transmission line construction activities may require
restoration of storm drains, curbs, sidewalks, parking lots, and decorative
landscaping. A weight Of 3 was assigned for each mile affected.
Miles crossing agricultural land on a diagonai. Transmission lines impose
special constraints upon agricultural practices, especially when routed at an
angle to practical patterns. Such alignment creates undue hardship upon
operators of farming machinery. This criterion is considered a severe
constraint and has been weighted a 5.
Miles along field edge. While this proximity to agricultural operations
imposes some problems to the operator, a field edge location is less
restrictive than open field or diagonal rerouting. Therefore, this criteria is
weighted a 2. This criterion excludes frontage for houses, barns, and
commercial developments. For evaluation purposes these land uses were
considered to each withdraw 200 feet from the link distance to arrive at
total linear feet of field edge.
Acres in conflict with land use planninq goals. This criterion, given a
weight of 5, is consistent with the Williamson Act and the San Joaquin
County planning goal to protect agricultural land from incompatible uses.
Relative to that goal, transmission line poles wouId directly withdraw land
from productive uses by approximately 80 square feet per pole, or a
cumulative total of 5,660 square feet (0.13 acres) along the preferred route.
1.2 Engineering Considerations
To ensure that the route ultimately selected for construction is feasible for
transmission line construction and maintenance, a number of factors
relating to design and construction were considered. Listed below are five
engineering considerations used in the evaluation of the routes.
Miles of Line. No other single factor contributes more to the cost of the
transmission line than its length. Therefore, this criterion received a weight
of 5.
60L. (I 2i87)FR:ss
Miles requiring new construction and maintenance access. Difficult or poor
access requires special construction techniques and/or extended
construction time. When these areas also require road building to aid in
construction access and maintenance activities, reseeding or revegetstion is
often required. A weight of S was assigned to this factor.
Miles of urban development. The constraints of urbanization necessitate
special, and generally costly, design, construction, and rehabilitation
measures. Links representative of this criteria are excessively costly relative
to other less constrained alternatives. Therefore, this criterion weighted a
5.
Miles along poorly drained, floodplain, wetland areas. Special structure
foundation designs with higher associated costs may be required for these
areas; therefore, a weight of 3 was assigned.
Number of angles greater than 60 degrees. Large angles have a higher cost
because they require special structure design. A weight of 4 was assigned
to each occurrence of this factor. For the routing of the alternatives, the
angles of structures was estimated, final determination of angle degree
will occur during design.
Miles requiring tindergrounding (U.G.) of railroad communication lines.
When transmission lines of the higher voltages are constructed in close
proximity to a communications line, interference can occur on the
communications line. One method of mitigating the problem is to
underground the communication line. However, to do so, increases the
construction costs by approximately 880,000 per mile of communication
line. For this reason, a weighting socre of 3 was assigned.
1.3 Environmental Considerations
The five environmental considerations discussed below were selected to
determine the degree of environmental conflict posed by the transmission
line route location.
60L:0 Zi87)FR:ss

t'
Y
r'
5 •:
Number of cultural resource conflict areas. Sites of archaeological and
historic interest and significance are to be avoided. A weight of S was
assigned each time the line would pass over or adjacent to a cultural
resource. While not an apparent issue, this criterion was retained to
demonstrate its consideration.
Miles of tine through sensitive wildlife habitat. Areas such as stream
crossings, ponds, wetlands, abandoned fields, or pasture with native
vegetation provide habitat for a variety of plant and wildlife species
including threatened or endangered species. These areas are assigned a
weight of S for each miie of occurrence. While not an apparent issue, this
criterion was retained to demonstrate its consideration.
Miles of prominent visuai intrusion. The low topographic relief of the S a n
Joaquin Valley does not allow transmission lines to be screened by natural
features. Native and domestic vegetation is of low heights and density so
as to provide intermittent screening of structure bases only. Therefore, the
contrast of the vertical structures and aerial horizontal lines of the
conductors will be evident to the foreground and middle ground views in
the project vicinity. When the transmission line route passes within 1/4
miles of a residence it was considered to be a dominant and adverse visual
element. However, the City of Lodi is committed to avoiding structure
placement in front of any residential or commercial dwelling. The deli -?s
of the local landowners and residents will be considered when making
those placement decisions. This condition was assigned a weight of 4 for
each mile of occurrence.
Miles requiring tree trimming and/or removal. Orchards and various
species of shade and ornamental trees are a valuable resource in an area
otherwise devoid of trees; taller trees also provide a screening effect for
the transmission line structures. Therefore, protection of trees is an
important project consideration and removal or tree trimming is weighted
a S.
While the present research on biological effects of electric and magnetic
fields is inclusive, the criteria represents consideration of this issue. Because
the field effects of the proposed line would be below any established
standard, either at the right of way edge, or within the right of way, the
criterion is weighted a 2.
2.0 SUBSTATION SITING EVALUATION CRITERIA
2.1 Land Use Consideration
Number of buildings requiring removal or relocation. Pursuant to the
California Relocation Act, this is the greatest direct impact of a substation
in this category and was assigned a weight of 5.
Number of private land parcels affected by acquisition. The right of way
process becomes increasingly involved as the number of parcels of land and
potential lando,.vners affected by a substation site increases. A weight of 2
was assigned t this factor to account for adcItional negotiation and
settlement proceduresthat may be required.
Offsite construction impacts. The proximity of other land uses and the
potential for their destruction during construction is a measure of a site's
overall ability to accommodate development. This criterion is weighted a
2.
Long term effects on adjacent land uses. This criterion considers the effect
of a substation on present and future land uses, and the perceived
limitation on potential development. Included in this criteria is a
consideration of electric and magnetic fields emanating from the
substation. The criteria is weighted a 2 to account for possible cumulative
long term effects.
ra
Sitinq on cultivated cropland. Siting of a substation on cultivated cropland w
can potentially take 3 acres out of production. Such action would be
inconsistent with the Williamson Act and San Joaquin County's planning
goals. The location of a substation in the corner of a field may pose an
obstacle to maneuvering farm equipment and reduces the flexibility in
cropping patterns. For these reasons, a weight of 5 was assigned to this
factor.
60L:(12187)FR: ss
2.2 Engineering Considerations
T he following lists three engineering considerations that were used in the
evaluation of the substation sites.
Difficulty of site preparation. Weighted a 2, this criterion is a measure of a
site's physical characteristics, such as slope, drainage, accessibility, soil
bearing capacity, etc., and the degree of difficulty they may impose on
substation construction.
Acquisition cost. A parcel's size and shape will dictate to some degree the
arrangement of substation facilities, and the ability to logically expand the
substation to accommodate future needs. An appraisal conducted by a
local firm in February 1988 confirms acquisition costs. The possible
commercial value of a corner lot at a major intersection encouraged
inflated acquisition costs. This criterion is weighted a 4.
Routing of 60kV line. The configuration of the 60kV line out of the
substation would necessitate additional structures, angles, and special
design considerations, therefore this criterion was weighted a 4.
2.3 Environmental Considerations
The four environmental considerations discussed below were selected to
determine the degree of environmental conflict posed by substation siting.
Number of cultural resource conflict areas. Sites of archaeological and
historic interest and significance art- to be avoided. Thus, a weight of 5 was
assigned each time a substation would be sited within 400 meters. Whiie
not an apparent issue, this criterion is retained to demonstrate its
consideration.
weight of 5 for each site located thereon. While not an apparent issue, this
criterion is retained to demonstrate its consideration.
Visually prominent from a major highway. To mitigate the visual impact of
a substation to travelers of major highways, masonry walls and plantings
would be used, therefore this criterion was assigned a weight of 3.
Visually prominent from a residential area When the substation is located
within 1/8 of a mile of a residence, it was considered to be a dominant and
adverse visual element even though the substation would be screened by a
masonry wail and plantings. This condition was assigned a weight of 3 for
each occurrence.
3.0 SWITCHING STATION/INTERCONNECTION POINT EVALUATION CRITERIA
3.1 Land Use Consideration
Number of Buildings requiring removal or relocation. Pursuant to the
California Relocation Act, this is the greatest direct impact of an
interconnection point in t is category and therefore was assigned a weight
of 5.
Number of private land owners affected by acquisition. The right of way
process becomes increasingly involved as the number of potential
landowners affected by an interconnection point increases. A weight of 2
was assigned to this factor to account for additional negotiation and
settlement proceduresthat may be required.
Offsite construction impacts. The proximity of other land uses and the
potentiai for their destruction during construction is a measure of an
switching station site's overall ability to accommodate the facility. This
criterion is weighted a 2.
Siting on cultivated cropland. Siting of a switching station facility on
cultivated cropiand can potentially take agricultural land out of
production. The location of the switching station facility in the middle of a
field may pose an obstacle to maneuvering farm equipment and reduces
64L: ! 12r873Fa: ss
7`7 7�77777"01
the flexibility in cropping patterns. For these reasons, a weight of 5 was
assigned to this factor.
3.2 EngineeringConsiderations
The fotlowing lists three engineering considerations that were used in the
evaluation of the switching station/interconnection pointsites.
Difficulty of site preparation. Weighted a 2, this criterion is a measure of a
site's physical characteristics and the degree of difficulty they tnay impose
on the switching station construction and configuration.
Acquisition cost A parcel's size and shape will dictate to some degree the
placement of the facility. A constraining shape may necessitate a more
costly design,,or require the first structure of the line to be located in close
proximity to the switching station. This criterion isweighted a 4.
3.3 Environmental Considerations
The four environmental considerations discussed below were selected to
determine the degree of environmental conflict posed by the switching
station/interconnection point siting.
Number of cultural resource conflict areas. Sites of archaeological and
historic interest and significance are to be avoided. Thus, a weight of 5 was
assigned each time the facility would be sited within 400 meters. While not
an apparent issue, this criterion is retained to demonstrate its
consideration.
Area of sensitive wildlife habitat. Areas such as ponds, wetlands,
abandoned fields, or pasture with native vegetation provide habitat for a
variety of plant and wildlife species. Sites in these areas are assigned a
weight of 5 for each site located thereon. While not an apparent issue, this
criterion is retained to demonstrate its consideration.
facility/interconnection point would be visually prominent to travelers of
major highways, itwas measured and multiplied by a weight of 3.
Visually prominent from residential area. When the switching station/
interconnection pointwas located within 1/8 of a mile of a residence, it was -
considered to be a dominant and adverse visual element. This condition
was assigned a weight of 3 for each occurrence. -
4.0 Route, Substation Site and Switching Station/Interconnection Point
Rankinq
The total scores within each of the three major criteria categories were
used to determine rankings. The route, site, and point with the lowest
total score received a ranking of 1.
5.0 The ?referred Route
The combination of route, substation site, and switching
station/interconnection point with the lowest score represents the
preferred route according to the evaluation criteria.
Route 3 is the preferred route with a total score of 103.25. Shown In
Appendix D, Table 4, Route 3 offers the optimum balance between design/
construction costs, land use and environmental concerns.
This route displays the best overall compatibility with the analysis criteria.
Section 5.0 compares the preferred route and alternatives and describes
the positive and negative aspects of each.

Dear <first>:
Thank you for taking the time to write me regarding the New York State
Powerlines Project. I know that the project findings, particularly those of
Dr. David Savitz linking electromagnetic fields to childhood cancers, have
caused widespread public concern.
Since we all live in a world where we depend upon electricity, we ate
all exposed to electromagnetic fields every day. I wish I could say that
the scientific community knows the full story on the dangers posed by
electromagnetic fields; however, far more research must be conducted on this
subject before we will know for sure what risk, if any, humans face from
power lines, electric appliances and other sources of electromagnetic
radiation both in the home and on-the-job. I will do my best, however, to
answer the questions you have posed and to try to allay some of your fears.
I want to emphasize at the outset that Dr. Savitz has said repeatedly that
he is concerned but not panicked by his findings and that he would not make
a decision to sell his home `)ased on his results.
Before I describe the Savitz study, let rre say that the power lines
project included a total of 16 research projects. One study in the project,
conducted in Seattle using the same methods used by Dr. Savitz, found no
association between electromagnetic fields and adult cancer. In other
studies, researchers found no effects of electric or magnetic fields on
reproduction, growth or development in isolated cells. Researchers also
could find no evidence that prger lines cause genetic or chromosomal damage
in cells.
Several studies in the project considered va-:.ous effects of
electromagnetic fields on the nervous system of rats and monkeys. One of
tthe studies on monkeys revealed some small effects on brain chemistry.
Other studies on animal behavior indicate magnetic fields may affect body
rhythms, may alter a rat's response to pain and the ability of rats to learn
tasks. Obviously, these results suggest several new avenues for further
research.
WADSWORTH CENTER FOR LABORATORIES AND A&SEARCH
-2 -
Dr. Savitz' findings are of greater concern, however. His
epidemiological study involved all cases of childhood cancer diagnosed
b; tween 1978 and 1983 in the Denver, Colorado, area. A control group of
children was selected through random telephone dialing. Dr. Savitz then
used two different methods to estimate the electric and magnetic fields in
the home of each child in the study. First, he assigned a coding to each
residence, depending on the proximity of the home to ordinary overhead pc-wer
lines, as well as to transformers and substations. The second method
involved direct measurements of the electric and magnetic fields in each
house; one set of measurements was made with all the lights and appliances
turned on, another was made with all the lights and appliances turned cff.
(The purpose of taking measurements under these two different conditions was
to estimate the contribution to the fields solely from the external power
lines. )
After collecting all the data, Dr. Savitz turned to sophisticated
computer programs to see whether there was a correlation between the level
of an electromagnetic field in a child's home, as measured by his two
different methods, and the incidence of cancer among the children in this
study. He found that children living in homes closest to high -current perwerp
lines (ordinary distribution lines) had a 1.7 times higher incidence of
cancer than children who did not live by the lines. Children living near
the power lines had 2.1 times the incidence of leukemia.
When he correlated cancer incidence with the actual measurements of
electric and magnetic fields in homes (measurements made using his second
method), Dr. Savitz found a small increase in the incidence of cancer in
homes with strong magnetic fields. Because he had measured the fields first
with lights and appliances turned on, and then turned off, he was able to
determine that the measurements associated with the cancer were a result of
the power lines feeding the houses. while the lights, appliances or wiring
in the home also generate fields, their use is not constant. These results
suggest that total exposure (averaged over days to years) is the important
factor.
Increasing the risk of cancer, of course, doesn't mean that a person is
certain to develop the disease. Health experts estimate that the incidence
of cancer among children in the U.S. today is about one in 10,000 per year.
If the incidence of cancer is raised by 2.1, as suggested by the Savitz
study, then the likelihood of getting childhood cancer is two in 10,000 per
year. While this is only a small increase, it is obviously one that we want
to reduce.
Dr. Savitz' findings confirmed research done by other scientists
several years before. Moreover, a few other studies have linked
electromagnetic fields and cancer. Nonetheless, the jury is still out on
this matter. Savitz' study by no means proves a cause -and -effect
relationship between electromagnetic fields and cancer. Nor does it give us
any information on how magnetic fields' may generate cancer. What the study
does do is significantly strengthen the hypothesis that electromagnetic
fields cause cancer. Far more research must be done before 1Ae have any
conclusive proof.
n
a
-3 -
As the scientific advisory panel of the Powerlines Project recommended
in its final report, additional research is needed to explore the possible
association between cancer, particularly leukemia, and magnetic fields.
Unfortunately, it will be several years before this type of research
produces rry results.
The panel's first recommendation that a major research effort be
immediately undertaken to explore methods of delivering parer to homes in
such a way as to reduce magnetic field exposures. Possible solutions might
be tc bury pa-wer lines ox run current -carrying lines in pairs (by Fairing
the lines in opposite directions, the electromagnetic fields would cancel
each other vat.) Changing in how grounding is done may also help.
in the meanwhile, there is very little that the average homeowner can
do to guard against the possible dangers posed by electromagnetic fields.
While newspaper and television reports focused almost exclusively on the
dangers posed by overhead power lines, our studies have implications for all
sources of electric current commonly found both inside and outside the home.
Wherever electricity flows through a wire, a magnetic field is generated.
The toaster sitting on your counter, and the electric blanket covering your
bed generate electromagnetic fields. The real question, of course, is what
strength and duration of an electromagnetic field represents a cause for
concern?
Unfortunately, we don't have answers, only indications, from the Savitz
research- Based on his findings, there is reason to believe that magnetic
fields in or around the home due to external sources in excess of 2.5
milligauss (mG) may, and I emphasize may, indicate a heightened risk; fields
between 1.5 DG and 2.5 mG may be termed a moderate risk, and fields below
1.5 mG, a low risk. (A gauss, named after a 19th century physicist, is a
measure of the intensity of a magnetic field.) In most of our homes during
the daytime the fields will measure higher than these values due to use of
appliances.
These ni= ers, however, should in no way be regarded as standards or
regulations, only guidelines. And a real problem exists right now in that
there are virtually no commercial companies available to measure the
magnetic field in or around your home.
Many people have written to ask at what distance away from overhead
power lines a person can live safely, that is, without increasing their: risk
of contracting cancer. Again, it is impossible to answer that question,
because the magnitude of a magnetic field depends on the level of electric
current passing through the line at any given time. The current fluctuates
continually in power lines.
Others have written to ask whether a person faces a greater threat
because his or her home is situated rear a transformer, a substation, or a
high-voltage power lines. The assumption is that if ordinary low -voltage
power lines passing through neighborhoods pose a risk, then high-voltage
-4 -
lines and transformers must pose an even greater risk. Indeed, there is a
substantial level of current passing through transformers, substations and
high-voltage lines, and fairly strong electromagnetic fields are associated
with these currents. However, there can be as much current passing through
low -voltage lines from time to tine as there is passing through higher -
voltage devices. as much as we would like to be able to provide more
definitive advice as to the risks posed by these devices, we would be
irresponsible to do so without more information, information we just dont
have at this time.
I want to conclude by stressing that people snould not be unduly
alarmed be the information contained in our report. It may help to realize
that children are commonly exposed to a number of other environmental
contaminants which pose a far greater risk than does electromagnetic
radiation. We suggest, for instance, that children who live in homes where
parents smoke face far more risk of contracting cancer from the cigarette
smoke than they do from the effects of electromagnetism. The risk of use of
automobiles on highways is also greater than that of cancer from magnetic
fields. Clearly we (our society) should do all we can to reduce all of
these risks, but at...the same time it is not appropriate to try to live a
without electricity.
Again, I thank you for your interest in the Powerlines Project.
Sincerely,
David 0. Carpenter, M.D.

City of Lodi Direct Interconnection Project
Gentlemen:
This comment letter responds to your Notice of Preparation
received October 19, 1987. W recommend that such documents be
provided to the State Clearinghouse, 1400 Tenth Street, Room 121
Sacramento, CA 95814, for distribution to all concerned state
agencies.
1. The City of Lodi is a member of the Transmission Agency
of Northern California, the lead agency for the
California— Oregon Transmission project (COTP). The
present project appears to be at least in part a
response to the proposed construction of the COTP. As
such, it properly should be considered as a part of the
environmental document for that project and the
financial effects of the pro -posed construction should
be provided to and incorporated in the calculations for
t h e COTP.
2. The alternative involving upgrading of PG&E lines would
require a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity Erom this Commission, since it would involve
the equivalent of constructing a new double circuit 230
kV line. Accordingly, the CPUC will be a responsible
agency for the preparation of your EIR on the proposed
construction.
3. Your document should provide careful consideration of
the relative environmental impacts of the various
alternatives.
4, Since it is Likely chat upgrading the existing lines in
their right - of - way will prove environmentally
preferable to developing a new right- of- way, a careful
discussion of the relative costs of construction,
operation, and naintenance of the project and its
alternatives should be provided to allow for
justification of the selection of an alternative other
than the environmentally most favored. This discussion
should include consideration of the economics of
participation in the CGT?, prices of power anticipated,
and alternative power sources.
5. The proposed right-of-way and the alternatives cross a
major railroad right-of-way. Construction at this
crossing must comply with this Commission's General
Order 95.
6. The Initial Study states that there are no adverse
perceivable effects from the magnetic fields of 230 kV
transmission lines. This conclusion may no longer be
correct. The Environmental Impact Report should take
account of the studies and reviews performed by the New
York State Power Lines Project. In particular, review
the Panel's Final Report on Biological Effects of Power
Line Fields. This report can be obtained from Dr. D.

Dear Mr. Morimoto:
This Department submits the following comments in response to the
scope and content of the environmental review of the above named
project:
1. The undergrounding of the transmission line should be
considered as an alternative.
2. Transmission line poles within County right of way require
prior approval of this Department. An Encroachment Permit
will be required if County right of way is affected. In
addition, a Franchise Agreement may be required if County
rights of way are utilized.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Your

Re: Comments on the Initial Study for the City of Lodi's Direct
Interconnection Project
Dear M r . Morimoto:
The California Energy Commission (CEC) staff appreciates the
opportunity to review and comment on the Notice of Preparation
and Initial Study for the City of Lodi's Direct Interconnection
Proi ect . The following comments are provided for your
consideration in preparing the project's Draft Environmental
Impact Report (DEIR) .
In the visual impact discussion, the Initial Study indicates
that the project area has a number of existing transmission lines
and radio towers. It is unclear, however, whether these
existing facilities will dominate foreground views (0 to 0.5
miles) from roads and residences located near the proposed
transmission line alignment. The DEIR should further evaluate
the location, number, and sensitivity of viewpoints (residences,
roads, etc.) near the proposed project.
The Initial Study states that a number of protected species are
located within the general area of the project; one: the giant
garter snake, is located within one mile of the project area
(page 11). To ensure that the project will not directly or
indirectly impact protected species, a biological survey of the
preferred route is necessary. Without such a survey, the
Initial Study cannot support the conclusion that no protected
species will be displaced. The DEIR should discuss the survey's
methodology, results and identify suitable mitigation measures,
or alternative routes, if necessary. Avoidance is the preferred
mitigation measure.
The Initial Study indicates that the project may impact small
wetland areas (page 13). Even if these wetlands lack unique
habitat value, the loss of these resources will contribute to a
continual loss of wetland areas in the Central Valley. These
wetland areas should be included in the biological survey
discussed in the preceding paragraph and the results similarly
Mr. David Morimoto
November 2, 1987
Page 2
addressed in the DEIR. Unless wetland impacts are avoided or
mitigated, the project may contribute to a significant
cumulative impact.
The Initial Study's land use discussion makes no mention of the
project effects on agricultural operations (page 13)• As noted
on page 8 of the checklist, the project may affect current
patterns of crop dusting. Other agricultural operations may be
affected by the project as well, and need to be evaluated further
in the DEIR.
If you have questions or if we can provide additional information
on these comments, please call Sharron Taylor at (916) 324-3231.

Dear Mr. Morimoto:
Caltrans has reviewed the Notice of Preparation of an EIR
for the Direct Interconnection Project and offers the following
comments=
As noted or. Page 5, an encroachment permit from Caltrans will
be required.for work planned on State highway right of way. Use
of the Kettleman Road Route 12 alternative will involve more high-
way encroachment and may make it necessary to contact Caltrans
early in the process to avoid unnecessary delay. It is probable
that the 30 to 40 feet from Centerline of the highway, referred
_ to'en Page 22, will not be acceptable under the latest Caltrans
right of way protection policy. Normally, when permits are
issned for structures along State arterial highways, a minimum
set back of 50 feet is required. The location of the preferred
alternate along Route 12 is in an area with the potential for
future development. This wc)uld require that the highway be up-
graded to five lanes and a minimum of 100 feet of right of way
be urovided. This would not allow for power line towers within
the highway right of way. Any relocation of the towers w i 11 be
at owner's expense. The location of substation structures will
also need to be set back a minimum of 50 feet from the highway
center line.
Additional widening of Route 12 has not been programmed in
the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) . However,
the Route Concept, or long range plan for Route 12 on that seg-
ment calls for a minimum of four lanes and 100 feet of right of

We have conducted a records search as per your request for the above -referenced
project area located on the Lodi North, Lodi South, lav Hope and Terminous 7.5
minute USGS quadrangle maps in San Joaquin County. According to our files
there are no recorded cultural resources located directly within the routes
as indicated on the map you transmitted. For your information, the exact routes
as indicated on your wrap have not been subject to previous cultural resource
survey. There are two cultural resources located within a one -mile radius of
the northern periphery of the project (CA-SJO-0035 and 0036 , occupation/burial
sites) and there is one cultural resource (CA-SJO-0074, occupation/burial)
located ca— 1500 feet north of Route 3, between Ray and Free Roads.
This communication is advisory only and does not constitute a negative declaration
of impact upon cultural resources. The law requires that if cultural resources
are discovered as a result of project -related activities, all work is to cease
and the lead agency and a qualified archaeologist are to be consulted regarding
evaluation of the find.
Thank you for contacting this office regarding cultural resource preservation
in San Joaquin County. Please fill out and return the attached Agreement of
Confidentiality Form. Our billing i s attached.

Dear Ms. Weintraub;
List for the Proposed Western Area
Transmission and Substation
of Lodi
As requested by letter from your agency dated December 11, 1987,
you will find attached a list of endangered and threatened
species (Attachment A) that may be present in the area of the
subject project. To the best of our knowledge no proposed
species occur within the area. The list is intended to fulfill
the requirement of the Fish and Wildlife Service to provide a
list of species under Section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act,
as amended. Please see Attachment B for your requirements.
Also for your assistance, we have included a list of candidate
species. These species are presently being reviewed by our
Service for consideration to propose and list as endangered or
threatened. Candidate species have no protection under the
Endangered Species Act and are included for your consideration
as it is possible the candidates could become formal proposals
and be listed during the construction period.
upon completion of the Biological Assessment (see Attachment
B), should you determine that a listed species is likely to be
affected (adversely or beneficially) , then your agency should
request formal Section 7 consultation through our office at
the letterhead address. If there are both listed and
candidate species (if included in the assessment) that may be
affected and if requested, we will informally consult on the
candidate species during the formal consultation. However,
should the assessment reveal that only candidate species may
be affected, then you should consider informal consultation
with our office at the letterhead address.
One of the benefits of informal consultation to the consulting
agency is to provide the necessary planning alternatives should a
candidate species become listed before completion of a project.
Informal consultation may also be utilized prior to a written
request for formal consultation to exchange information and
resolve conflicts with-espect to listed species.
If the Biological Assessment is not initiated within 90 days of
receipt of this letter, you should informally verify the accuracy
of the list with our office.
Should you have any additional questions regarding this list
or your responsibilities under the Act, please contact Dave
Harlow at (916) 978-4866 or (FTS) 460-4866. Thank you
for your interest in endangered species, and we await your
assessment.

Biological Assessment (BA) for major construction activities.
The BA analyzes the effects of the action on listed and proposed
species. The process begins with a Feeeral agency requesting
from EWS a list of proposed and listed threatened and endangered
species. The BA should ue compietea within Loo days after its
initiation (or within sucn a time period as is inutually
agreeable). if the BA is not initiated witnin 90 days or receipt
of the list, the accuracy of the species list should be
inrormaily verified with our Service. No irreversipie commitment
of resources is to be made during the BA process wnicn would
foreclose reasonable and prudent alternatives to protect
endangered species. Planning, design, administrative actions may
proceea; however, no construction may begin.
we recommend the following for inclusion in tie BA: an onsite
inspection of the area affected oy the proposal wnich may include

BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
FOR THE
VALLE !' ELDERBERRY LONGHORN BEETLE
ON THE
LODI DIRECT T*:TERCONNECTION PROJECT
OF THE
WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION
Background and Study Obiectives
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) indicated that
the vallev elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus californicus
dimorphus), a threatened species designated under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA), might be present in the study area of the
Lodi Direct Interconnection Project (see G. Kobetich letter to
N. Weintraub, dated January 11, 1388, for USFWS Case -No.
1 -1 -88 -SP -149). No other species listed or proposed for listing
under the ESA were indicated as potentially occurring in the
study area.
This Biological Assessment has been prepared pursuant to
Section 7 (c) of the ESA. This assessment has the following
objectives:
1) To determine if suitable habitat for the beetle was
present in the study area;
2) To determine if the beetle was present in any suitable
habitat found: and
3) To determine any possible impacts on the beetle from the
proposed project or alternatives.
Studv Methods
On March 1, 1988 a Jones & Stokes Associates resource
ecologist conducted a field survey of the areas shown on the
attached figure. The ecologist has extensive experience with
beetle life history and habitat requirements and has conducted
previous beetle surveys under contract to USFWS.
The beetle is a live wood pith borer that exclusively uses
ele.arberry (Sambucus ssp.) shrubs as its host plant. Because
the beetle bores only in elderberry, the first step in an
assessxent of potential beetle habitat is to search for the
presence or absence of elderberry plants. During the field
•
investigation both the north and south sides of State Highway 12
between Ray Road and Interstate 5 were searched for the presence
of elderberry plants. rhe areas on both sides of the northbound
Interstate 5 on-ramp were also searched (see the attached Cla-
ure) .
Survev Results
No elderberry giants were found growing in the study area.
Several trees had recently been cut down and removed by crews of
the California Department of Transportation in the freeway
interchange area. The removed trees were mainly wiiiows (Salix
ssp.) with a few cottonwoods (Populus fremontii) . Most of the
survey area is occupied by nonwoody herbaceous plants with
scattered willows, cottonwoods, mule fat (Baccharis viminea) ,
and escaped ornamental poplars (probably Populus nigra) . There
was no evidence that any of the plants removed had been
elderberry.
f nnr-Ti.ei nn
No suitable habitat for the beetle is present in the study
area. Therefore, the beetle cannot be present and no impacts on
the species are possible.
