The project in Swanville involves construction of a new 115 kV transmission line within the existing transmission line corridor, which now includes a 345 kV transmission line. The existing 345 kV transmission line includes H-Frame wooden structures with a typical pole height of 75 feet.

The new 115 kV transmission line, to be sited west of and parallel to the existing line, will be located partly in Swanville and partly in Brooks. The transmission line corridor in Swanville runs about 2.2 miles from the Swanville/Monroe town line in the north to the Swanville/Waldo town line in the south.

From the Swanville/Monroe town line southward approximately 1.1 miles, the entire corridor is located in Swanville. In this section of the corridor, the new transmission line will include 10 new H-Frame structures that will range from 47.5 feet to 88 feet in height.

From the 1.1 mile mark southward to the Swanville/Waldo town line, the corridor is bisected by the Swanville/Brooks town line so that a portion of corridor’s width is located in the Town of Brooks. In this section of the corridor, the new transmission line will be located in Brooks. (The new line in Brooks will include 12 new H-Frame structures that will range from 52 feet to 88 feet in height.)
