CX-018799: Integrated Vegetation Management Actions to Control Unwanted Plants at Western Area Power Administration, Desert Southwest Region, Western Communication Facilities in Arizona, California, and Nevada, 2018

Western Area Power Administration, Desert Southwest Region, proposes to implement vegetation management actions at the following communication facilities: Christmas Tree Pass, Elden Mountain, Hualapi Mountain, Mingus Mountain, Mount Lemmon, Opal Mountain, Parker Dam, Pete Smith Peak, Texas Canyon, Towers Mountain, and White Tanks Mountain. Vegetation management in and directly surrounding each communication facility would involve mechanical and/or hand removal of unwanted invasive plant species to prevent further growth of these non-native species. This work is needed to maintain the reliability and safety of each communication facility which is part of the bulk electric system.
