Attention: Ontario Energy Board
Â
Please accept this e-mail as acknowledgement of Ministry of Transportation (MTO) receipt of Ontario Energy Board Notice, File EB-2013-0339, which pertains to âApplication for Leave to Construct Transmission Facilitiesâ required for the proposed White Pines Wind Incorporated (WPD) connection to the Ontario hydro grid.Â
Â
Letters, dated Dec 4, 2013, from WPD, to Kathryn Moore, Regional Director, MTO, and myself, were received.
Â
MTO has chosen this e-mail response, to forward a previous attached MTO response to WPD, which pertains to the construction of transmission line, crossing MTO jurisdiction at the Highway 33 / County Road 1 intersection (roundabout). The drawings within EB-2013-0339, showing the proposed alignment through the roundabout are consistent with that previously responded to. While MTO does not support the exact depicted alignment through the roundabout, it is feasible that an approvable alignment can be achieved.
Â
As such, please see the attachment, which clarifies MTO jurisdiction, roundabout configuration, MTO permit requirements, and the required alteration to supporting documentation, which would allow MTO to issue the MTO Encroachment Permit required prior to construction of the proposed utility crossing.
Â
MTO is supportive of development, and looks forward to the opportunity to work with WPD towards realization of the proposed transmission facility.
Â
Thanks
