A Compatibility Determination For Public and Private Existing Overhead Utility Line Maintenance/Enhancement Occurring on FWS Easement Properties or Fee-Owned WPAs, Kulm Wetland Management District.

This compatibility determination reviews and replaces the March 2005 compatibility determination for Public and Private Buried Utility Lines Occurring on FWS Easement Properties or Fee-Owned WPAs on Kulm Wetland Management District. The 2005 compatibility determination included both buried and overhead utility lines. This compatibility determination is specific to repairs of existing overhead lines. We propose to allow the right to use and possibly alter the landscape through maintenance and enhancement operations of above ground power line, telecommunications line, or other utility; or one-time authorization, by a special use permit, to repair or enhance an existing utility (e.g., power line or other aboveground) on lands under control by the Service.
