May 7, 2013 <br /> Huntington Farm Homeowners'Association Members, <br /> Last week, it was discovered that the as-built location for structure 076-4, the first new <br /> transmission pole north of the substation on Xcel Energy substation property was constructed <br /> approximately 120 feet further north than intended and has resulted in inadequate operating <br /> clearance to the GRE 69 kV Line as constructed. A map indicating details is attached for <br /> reference. <br /> In order to place the structure where it was designed and intended to be constructed, Xcel Energy <br /> crews will construct a new concrete drilled pier foundation in the correct location on Xcel Energy <br /> property, move the steel pole to the new foundation, re-string conductor and shield wires to the <br /> substation termination structure. The remaining foundation will be removed to below grade and <br /> the surface area will be filled and restored. <br /> The new foundation and pole will be placed approximately 120 feet south of its current location <br /> and in compliance with the plans submitted to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission on <br /> January 18, 2013 with updates provided on February 7 and March 22, 2013. A copy of these <br /> plans is attached for reference. <br /> Construction for the new transmission line on Huntington Farm Homeowners'Association <br /> property has been completed except for the removal of access mats, clean up and turf <br /> restoration, which is expected to be completed within the next 2 weeks. <br /> Access mats will remain in place on Xcel Energy substation property until the pole replacement <br /> work is completed sometime in the next 4-5 weeks. <br /> Please contact me should you have any questions regarding this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Chris Rogers <br /> Principal Siting and Land Rights Agent <br /> 612-330-6078, office <br /> 651-247-5531, cell <br /> Christopher.c.rogers a(�.xcelenergy.com <br /> Attachments: Pole location map, Plan and Profile <br />
