The transmission line rebuild project extends from the North Elk River Substation, <br />located two miles north of Elk River on Highway 169 to the Zimmerman Substation located along <br />County Road 45 in Zimmerman (see enclosed map and fact sheet). The planned upgrade is <br />necessary due to the increased electrical loads in the area and due to the age and operating <br />condition of the existing transmission line. <br /> <br />In certain areas along County Road 45, it may be necessary to shift the new pole alignment ten (10) <br />to fifteen (15) feet further from the road. This shift in alignment is needed to accommodate <br />anticipated future road improvement projects along CR 45. A representative from GRE will contact <br />you to discuss this alignment shift. <br /> <br />There will be tree removal associated with this project. Tree removal will be confined to the <br />transmission line easement area and a representative from GRE will contact you before tree and <br />vegetation removal takes place on your property. Construction activities including tree removal <br />which is scheduled to commence during the fall of 2006 with completion in the spring of 2007. <br /> <br />You may call me at 763-241-2337 or Joanie Miller at 763-241-5764, if you have any questions. GRE <br />and Connexus Energy sincerely appreciate your cooperation in its efforts to deliver safe and reliable <br />electricity to its customers. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />GREAT RIVER ENERGY <br /> <br />~ ~ /1- <br /> <br />Rick Heuring <br />Field Representative <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />CC: Larry Peterson, Connexus Energy <br /> <br />RH :jh\r:\t1ines\elrebuild\notificationltrs\landownerltr.doc <br /> <br />Direcillial (761) 7.41-/117 <br /> <br />F-MlIi1rheuring@grenergy.cOill--+- .
