Project Description

The Bureau of Land Management, Nevada State Office, is preparing a categorical exclusion authorizing geotechnical investigations for the Greenlink North 525 kV Transmission Line Project. NV Energy has applied for authorization for 68 boring locations along the proposed transmission line alignment in the Carson City, Ely and Battle Mountain Districts in Churchill, Eureka, Lander, Lyon, Washoe and White Pine Counties, Nevada. There would be 9.7 acres of disturbance. The 3-year short-term right-of-way would authorize drilling at select locations to support project development design and include a 50-foot by 50-foot work area around each drill site and overland travel where necessary.
