The preferred route best balances the fo
Slide 8: Evaluation highlights
Evaluation highlights • The preferred route maximizes the re-use of existing transmission corridors • Route 3B requires the least amount of land for the project. • The preferred route minimizes impacts on residential properties. • Route 3B involves the least potential disruption to species at risk a
Slide 9: Natural environment
Natural environment Route 3B scored the best overall in the natural environment category, as it: • Minimizes short- and long-term vegetation impacts. Fewer trees and other vegetation are expected to be removed for safe construction and operation of the line. • Is least impactful to surface water res
Slide 10: Socio-economic environment
Socio-economic environment Route 3B scored best overall in the socio-economic category, because it: • Maximizes the re-use of existing transmission corridors. • Has the least impact on residential and commercial properties. • Interacts least with potential archaeological and cultural heritage areas.
Slide 11: Indigenous culture, values and land use
Indigenous culture, values and land use Route 3B scored best in the Indigenous culture, values and land use category, because it: • Has the lowest potential effect on native/rare species and their habitats. • Crosses less areas that support fish bearing waters.
Slide 12: Technical and cost
Technical and cost Route 3B scored best overall in the technical and cost category, because it: • Maximizes the re-use of existing transmission corridors. • Has the least impact to active industrial and commercial facilities. • Has the fewest angle (turning) structures • Has the shortest line length
