Hi Voltage Transmission Lines

["Rob Danielson" danielson_audio]

Hi--
I'm meeting with a community board in two days to help them sketch
out what we need to learn about the potential environmental impacts
of a 345 Kv double circuit or 765 Kv electrical transmission line
proposed to run across our 13,000 acre wildlife reserve in
Southwestern Wisconsin. I'm interested in experiences people have had
with lines of this scale, site impact studies and example sound
recordings I can play for them.

I understand that transmission lines are more reactive to certain
weather conditions. The reserve is very wet and humid through the
Summer months, prone to thick fog formation during the Spring and
Fall and bitterly cold and dry in Winter. We get lots of migratory
bird activity as the Reserve is one of the largest natural areas
along the upper region of the Mississippi River Flyway.   I thank you
for your help in advance. Rob D.
