AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Rural Utilities Service (RUS)
has made a finding of no significant impact with respect to a request
from Georgia Transmission Corporation for financing assistance from RUS
to finance the construction of a 230/115 kV substation and a 230 kV
transmission line in Cobb County, Georgia.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Georgia Transmission Corporation proposes to
construct a 230 kV transmission line and substation in western Cobb
County, Georgia. The proposed 230/115 kV McConnell Road Substation will
be located approximately \1/2\ mile west of the intersection of Lost
Mountain Road and Dallas Highway (State Road 120). The proposed
transmission line will traverse east from the proposed substation
adjacent to Dallas Highway for approximately 6.3 miles and connect to
an existing 230 kV transmission line near the intersection of Dallas
Highway and Mt. Calvary Road. The transmission line would be supported
by steel, single-pole, self-supporting and guyed structures. The
proposed transmission line will be constructed as an overbuild of the
existing distribution line along Highway 120 between the 230 kV tap
point and the Lost Mountain Substation. The distribution line will
share the proposed 230 kV transmission line structures with
intermediate poles put in place to reduce sag of the distribution
conductors. The existing distribution line easement is within the
Georgia Department of Transportation Dallas Highway right-of-way.
Georgia Transmission Corporation proposes to place the new poles near
the same locations as the existing poles wherever possible. However,
Georgia Transmission Corporation will need to purchase and clear an
additional 20-feet of easement on private property.
