A total of five RUS distribution work plan projects were completed. Two projects included relocation of the lines from deep right-of-way to edge of the roads. Significant tree clearing was required to complete the relocations. Conductor size was increased to #1/0 ACSR on the V-phase line and #336.4 ACSR on the three-phase lines to provide circuit capacity for backing up nearby substation circuits and to minimize voltage drop.
