Southline Transmission Line Project; Arizona and New Mexico
The Bureau of Land Management and Western Area Power Administration issued a draft EIS to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Southline Transmission Project and address associated potential land use plan amendments. The project would consist of a new 225-mile transmission line between existing substations at Afton, New Mexico, and Apache, Arizona, and improvements to approximately 130 miles of existing transmission lines between the Apache and Saguaro, Arizona substations.
