The project area does run across a small wetland and <br />is near the Three Rivers Park Districts' Baker Park Reserve. Given the <br />proximity of the project to this important bird area, we recommend that <br />bird flight diverters be installed on the shield wire of the transmission <br />line that crosses the wetland from the Proposed Orono Substation to the <br />BNSF Railroad/US Highway 12 Right of Way. If any maintenance is required <br />on the existing Xcel Energy Line #0831 ORO -Med we would also recommend that <br />bird flight diverters be installed on the shield wire of the transmission <br />line for the portion that crosses Baker Park Reserve. <br />
