alignment change from the anticipated alignment on March 22, 2013, indicating a failure to <br /> ground-truth the construction. <br /> EFP staff accepts Xcel Energy's explanation of the mistake and its proposed QA/QC review <br /> process going forward. Based on this instance, EFP staff would recommend a standard permit <br /> condition that a Construction& Environmental Control Plan be filed as a compliance filing for <br /> all transmission projects going forward. These plans have been required for larger project, such <br /> as the CapX 2020 projects. <br /> Xcel Energy has stated that moving the structure is the preference of local residents. In <br /> discussion with Mr. Michael Kallivayalil, the landowner nearest the substation and structure in <br /> question, Mr. Kallivayalil expressed to EFP staff that, with respect to the location of structure <br /> 076-4, his preference is that it be moved to the location shown on the plan and profile. <br /> EFP staff believes that Xcel Energy's preferred option, moving structure 076-4 to the location <br /> shown on the plan and profile, is the option that best ensures consistency with the project record <br /> and compliance history, best addresses operational and safety issues, and provides the least <br /> disruptive long-term resolution to area landowners. <br /> The filing meets applicable permit conditions: X Yes n No n Partially <br /> Permit condition requires an action by the Commission: ❑ Yes X No <br /> EFP suggests filing be brought to the Commission for ❑ Yes X No <br /> decision: <br /> Response letter to permittee is recommended: X Yes ❑ No <br /> Suzanne Lamb Steinhauer July 9, 2013 <br /> Environmental Review Manager Date <br /> MN Dept of Commerce <br />
