  4. Planning & approvals • Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities, approved under provincial Environmental Assessment Act • Ontario Energy Board • “Leave to Construct” (Section 92) approval • Recovery of project costs through transmission rates • Provincial Policy Statement, 2005 • Design & construction according to industry standards and best practices • Other municipal, provincial or conservation authority permits, as required

  5. Existing transmission corridor • 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line built in the 1950s • Easement rights, not ownership on this section of the right-of-way • Right-of-way is 34 m (110’) wide along Deerpath Drive, with structures located 9 m (30’) east of centre • Twin pole structures approx. 18-24 m (60’-80’) tall and spaced about 100 m (330’) apart • Six twin pole structures between the railway and Hanlon Pkwy crossing; the latter is an angle structure View along Deerpath Drive

  6. Proposed transmission corridor • Upgrade transmission line to 230 kilovolt (kV) on existing corridor under existing easement • Replace existing structures with steel poles, conventional or narrow base steel lattice towers, approx. 37-40 m (120’-130’) tall • Spans between poles can be longer; e.g. three poles could replace five existing structures • New structures adjacent to Deerpath Drive will be closer to the curb View of steel poles in residential neighbourhood in Woodstock

  7. 230 kV steel lattice tower types Conventional (shown in Essex County) Narrow based ( (shown west of Barrie)

  9. Community issues and concerns • Opportunity to provide input into the process • Electric and magnetic fields • Property values • Tidiness of the vacant lot on Deerpath Drive • Desire to bury the line underground • Visual appearance of the new transmission line • Desire to move the transmission line closer to Hanlon Pkwy
