 Appalachian Power Company proposes constructing a substation and approximately 200’ transmission line in the Town of Christiansburg, Virginia (Montgomery County) to meet increasing electric demand by residential, commercial and industrial customers located in the southern part of the Town and adjacent areas of Montgomery County. The proposed project is located near Technology Drive on the western edge of the Falling Branch Corporate Park. It is bounded by Interstate 81 (near Exit 118A) to the north, the corporate park to the east and pasture land on the remaining sides. A new 138,000 volt transmission line will begin at the existing Roanoke – Claytor 138kV transmission line and run to the northwest approximately 200’ to the new substation. The project will require one transmission line structure (steel pole) approximately 100’ tall and will be located on a 100’ wide right-of-way. The proposed substation fence dimensions will be approximately 200’ x 200’ in size. The tallest substation structure will be approximately 50’ tall.
