Map of Transmission Lines as of July 2008:
The Proponents Environmental Assessment was released by Nevada Hydro in July and is available at their website here: www.leapsForward.org. Update maps are in Chapter 3. Note that the new map in the PEA matches the FERC staff alternative route published in October 2006 and shown here, but details are available that show specific tower placement with recognizable landscape features. When you download documents from leapsForward, make sure you right click and choose download or save as. Some of the files you are requesting are very large.
Below is an interactive viewer that shows maps and visual simulations of the transmission lines. NOTE: You must have a Flash viewer installed on your browser to see this. Click the map and then click the squares or camera images to display a map on the right. The opening map is a comparison of the FERC route from 2006 and the route shown in the Proponents Environmental Assessment of July 2008.
