Dobbins-Toronto 138kV Transmission Line -Tower Replacement Project (OPSB Case No. 26-0141-EL-BNR)
In this Project, American Transmission Systems, Incorporated (“ATSI”), a FirstEnergy company, proposes to replace a steel lattice structure, Structure No. 8118, on the existing six-wired Dobbins–Toronto 138 kV Transmission Line with two new single steel monopole structures on concrete foundations, installed on the existing transmission line centerline in existing right‑of‑way (“ROW”). The lattice tower has experienced creek‑related erosion, resulting in full exposure of one tower leg and jeopardizing a second tower leg. To address this condition and maintain system reliability, one steel monopole structure, (Structure No. 8118), will be located approximately 328 feet south of existing structure No. 8118, and the other steel monopole structure, (Structure No. 8118A), will be located 499 feet north of existing structure No. 8118. The existing conductor and shield wire will be transferred to the new structures. Following completion of the structure installation, the existing lattice tower will be removed. The Project is in Fairfield and Elkrun Townships, Columbiana County, Ohio.
