PUBLIC NOTICE The Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) hereby provides public notice that the DNRC is considering a request by the Lincoln Electric Cooperative Inc. (LEC) to secure an easement. This easement would provide for installation and maintenance of an underground power line along USFS Road #2346 (Tamarack Creek), through State land located in Section 24, T29N, R28W. Where it crosses state land, the power line easement would be 5,042 Feet long, 20 feet wide, and would total 2.3 acres in size. The power line would eventually supply electricity to a site on US Forest Service land on the top of Calx Mountain (Sec.10, T28N, R27.5W). This site is currently used as a fire lookout and radio communications site for DNRC, Lincoln County and various other agencies. The site is presently supplied with propane fueled generation, however the installation of electrical facilities would provide a more consistent, reliable power source for these essential communication sites. The primary power cable will be installed in a conduit system, parallel to the existing road prism at a minimum depth of 36 inches, with seven access locations (vaults or junction cabinets) on DNRC land along the proposed route. When exiting DNRC land, the proposed cable route will continue along the Tamarack Creek Road on National Forest Service land up to the top of Calx Mountain. The project will terminate at a transformer/service site near a communications building. LEC is tentatively proposing construction during the 2020 season. Public comment regarding this matter may be submitted to: Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Attention: Dave Marsh, 177 State Lands Office Road, Libby, MT 59923 or E-mail at: dmarsh@mt.gov. You can telephone at: (406) 293-2711 Ext. 6. Comments need to be received by 5:00 P.M. on September 9, 2019. Published In The Wester News August 9, 16, 23, 30, and September 6, 2019. MNAXLP
