Star Lake Casino Electrical Infrastructure - focus of Feb. 23, 2016 meeting

Maine Township session to outline nine mile installation near Dead, Star and Maplewood Park. Electrical infrastructure that will power the proposed White Earth Nation casino, in the heart of Otter Tail County, will be the focus of an informational meeting Feb. 23.

Great River Energy and Lake Region Electric Cooperative will host a public information open house Feb. 23 at the Maine Township Hall, 32 300 Old County Highway 74, Maine, Minn. 56586 to share information about a 8.75-mile, 41.6-kV transmission line being proposed in the area. The public and other interested parties are encouraged to stop by the open house anytime between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to learn about the project. Great River Energy and Lake Region Electric Cooperative staff will be on hand to describe the project, answer questions and hear feedback on the project. The proposed project will serve the anticipated electric load of the proposed White Earth Nation casino facility and ensure continued transmission system reliability in the area.

“We want landowners to be informed about the project and have an opportunity to ask questions and share their feedback,” said Great River Energy’s Transmission Permitting Analyst Marsha Parlow. Great River Energy will consider feedback it receives when preparing applications for any necessary local, state and federal permits or licenses required for the project, Parlow said. Great River Energy will also contact property owners once permits are received. “We will contact each affected property owner to discuss how the project will impact their property and discuss easement negotiations,” said Rick Heuring, Great River Energy’s senior field representative. “Construction of the new substation and transmission line is expected to occur between next winter and the summer of 2017.”

The proposed transmission line would connect a new distribution substation, the Star Lake Substation, to the system. The substation will be built by Lake Region Electric Cooperative. - Source: Pelican Rapids Press, Feb 17, 2016
