Sweetland Wind Farm Project; Hand County, South Dakota
After Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a cooperating agency, issued an EA and FONSI in September 2021 for the proposed Sweetland Wind Farm Project, the applicant proposed to redesign a portion of the approximately 7-mile-long, 230-kilovolt transmission line outside of the area previously analyzed. The agencies prepared a supplemental EA that analyzes potential environmental impacts of the new proposed transmission line route.
