Xcel Energy plans to locate the poles as close to property division lines as reasonably possible. Figures 6-8 show the right-of-way requirements for the proposed structure. I Xcel Energy will work within existing right-of-way for the Project whenever reasonably possible. The eastern portion of the Proposed Route is located within the existing Xcel Energy Orono I Substation site, and no transmission corridor or easements are required for this part of the Project. The transmission easement for existing Line 0831 and Structures 076 and 078 will be used as much as possible for that portion of the Project where realignment of existing single circuit 115 kV I transmission line is being considered. In locations where existing easements are insufficient for this Project,new or modified easements will be obtained,if required. Approximately 866 feet of the Proposed Route will not require new right-of-way as it is proposed to I be constructed on Company owned property. Approximately 1,795 feet of new right-of-way will need to be acquired from the HFA for the Proposed Route on HFA land along the south side of the BNSF railroad and U.S. Highway 12. This portion of the Proposed Route is anticipated to be located on HFA land approximately five feet south of the BNSF railroad right-of-way. Approximately 475 feet of new right-of-way will also need I Orono Project June 7,2011 I MPUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 26
