 TEP Transmission Lines Through Southern Arizona
Nearly half of the 66-mile proposed route would run through the Coronado National Forest, where nearly 200 140-foot power poles, mostly slender "mono-poles," would be erected in the mountains west of Interstate 19.

The DOE, US Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management’s decision should be evident and clear: And that is to vote “No-Action” and reject the “Western Route.” The reason is simple: There are many other economically viable alternatives to provide backup power to Nogales and other more environmentally-friendly energy alternatives available.
