O initial Study—GID Annexation Telecommunication services, including telephone and internet will be provided by interconnecting to existing major trunk lines and developing new backbone infrastructure and facilities on and off-site of the River Islands project. 1.2 Proposed Electrical Facilities Currently,the LID service area(which includes the existing LID area and its SOI)is served by PG&E. There are 20 customers in the proposed service area, creating about 72,000 kWh of demand annually. These customers would be served by LID and the existing PG&E facilities on the Stewart Tract that serve these customers would be acquired by LID to avoid a duplication of facilities. Ultimately, most of this infrastructure will be removed and replaced with new underground facilities to serve over 11,000 new customers. In order to serve its future customers,LID must interconnect with transmission facilities in the area. This interconnection may be made to existing PG&E facilities(located near and on the project site in various locations)or to the Western Area Power Association(WAPA)transmission lines located approximately 4 miles from the project site. These interconnection alternatives were studied in two study documents; the 2002 Navigant Report,completed for the River Islands at Lathrop project and the 2003 West Lathrop Specific Plan(adopted and subsequently amended in 2003 by the City of Lathrop for development of the Stewart Tract and Mossdale Village areas). There were four interconnection alternatives studied. In all cases,power would be distributed underground,with feeders radiating out from the substation in trenches following major rights of way. At pre-determined locations,pad-mounted electrical switchgear and transformers would be installed to provide 120/240 volt and 480 volt electricity to customers. The four alternatives differ as follows: l. 115 kV San Joaquin Cogeneration—Stockton Cogeneration Collector Line. This interconnection would consist of a looped 115 kV transmission line running about 1.3 miles from the transmission system located east of the River Islands site,across Interstate 5 and across San Joaquin River to a new substation(See Figure 4). A substation would be located near the Town Center area of River Islands. From the substation,power would be distributed via a 21-kV distribution system. 2. 115 kV Manteca-Kasson Line.This proposed interconnection would consist of a looped 115 kV transmission line that would run about 4,500 feet from the transmission system located east of the River Islands site, across Interstate 5 to a new substation located in the southeast area of the Employment Center area of River Islands. From the substation,power would be distributed to customers via a 21-kV distribution system. This is considered the preferred alternative. 3. 230 kV Bellota-Tesla Line.This proposed interconnection would consist of a looped 230 kV transmission line would run about 1.9 miles from the transmission line located west of the River Islands site to a new substation.The substation would be located on the west side of the River Islands site, in the vicinity of a proposed golf course. To reach the new substation,the tie-in line would have to cross Old River. From the substation, power would be distributed to customers via a 21-kV distribution system. 4. 230 kV Elverta-Tracy Line.This final interconnection alternative would consist of a looped 230 kV transmission line would run about 9.3 miles from the transmission line located west of the River Islands site to a new substation. As with the 230 kV Bellota-Tesla Line alternative, a new substation would be located on the west side of the River Islands site, in the vicinity of a 12
