TRINITY PUBLIC UTILITIES DISTRICT PROJECT

​The Trinity Public Utilities District Direct Interconnection Project involved building transmission facilities near Weaverville, in Trinity County, California.  The project removed about 5.3 miles of 12-kV distribution line and constructed about 16 miles of new 60-kV transmission line, a tap structure and associated equipment as well as a new switchyard.

WAPA analyzed the environmental impacts of the proposed project and alternatives and prepared an environmental impact statement (EIS). The U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management participated in preparing the EIS. The Final EIS was adopted in 2007 and the Record of Decision was published in 2008.   Copies of the documents are provided below. ​
