Each new or expanded electric substation will serve as an endpoint for the transmission line segments: • Fort St. Vrain – Canal Crossing (Segment 1) • Canal Crossing – Goose Creek (Segment 2) • Goose Creek – May Valley (Segment 3) • May Valley – Sandstone – Tundra (Segment 4) • Sandstone– Harvest Mile (Segment 5) Pathway facilities proposed in El Paso County include 45 miles of 345-kV transmission line within Segment 5.
