  • Water, Water Everywhere
    Water, Water Everywhere Examining Your Lake’s Readiness for High Water Like the snows of the winter past, record breaking rain pummeled the southern half of Wisconsin this spring. A slow-moving weather system in early June brought torrential rain to sections of southern Wisconsin, as thunderstorms developed across the region. Rainfall totals over the weekend ranged between two and ten inches with some counties setting records of over 12 inches for the month of June. The recent rain caused some rivers to reach record crests, resulting in flooding and mudslides. Several dams broke because of the rise in water levels in the reservoirs behind the dams. The severe storms and flooding spurred the governor to declare a state of emergency in thirty Wisconsin counties. In these counties, and through other portions of the Midwest, people are coping with relief efforts, road closures, damaged and lost property, and a flooded landscape. Some will spend years rebuilding and restoring their communities. TLake Delton, near the Wisconsin Dells, is one of the areas that was incredibly hard hit by this current flooding. A 267-acre impounded lake in this resort town overflowed last month after a highway embankment failed due to high water. According to Thomas Diehl, a Lake Delton village trustee and area businessman, the breach was between 300-400 feet wide. Officials said that the rushing water wasn’t caused by the dam’s failure, but rather the fact that it was a low- lying area that was inundated by torrential rains. The community is currently working on plans to restore the breached zone, enhance the emergency spillway, and bolster the new fishery in the restored lake.

  • ROUTING & SITING > Public Outreach We Believe It Is Beneficial to Solicit
    ROUTING & SITING > Public outreach We believe it is beneficial to solicit input from individuals who may be impacted by transmission system improvements and additions. As a natural extension of the involvement of transmission system customers in the planning process, we also involve the broader public in our planning process. Public examination and discussion of transmission plans in advance of the commencement of work enhances awareness of the needs for transmission system improvements, helps eliminate surprises and can improve projects by involving the perspectives of those most familiar with impacted areas. Even for projects subject to public discussion and review as part of a state’s formal regulatory process, opportunities for the public to help shape decisions prior to the official start of the regulatory process can be helpful. By increasing the level of public understanding of the need for a project and by vetting specific solutions to be proposed, time spent in early discussions also can save project time overall. Our public outreach efforts may involve sharing and exchanging information about specific planned transmission line work with those who may be impacted. Depending on the work to be done, potentially impacted parties may include landowners or other community residents in the vicinity of an existing or a proposed new transmission line, local public officials, utility regulators and natural resource agencies, environmental or conservation groups, customers and other interested members of the public. Our public outreach efforts with various stakeholders can include a variety of interactions such as one-on-one or small group meetings, public open houses, newsletters and other communication activities.
