There were four interconnection alternatives studied. In all cases, power would be distributed underground, with feeders radiating out from the substation. At pre-determined locations, pad-mounted electrical switchgear and transformers would be installed to provide single phase or three phase service to customers. The four alternatives differ as follows: 1. 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 Exhibit"D"). A substation would be located near the Town Center area of River Islands. From the substation,power would be distributed via a 12-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 12-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 12-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 proposed golf course. To reach the new substation,the tie-in line will have to cross Old River. From the substation, power will be distributed to customers via a 12-kV distribution system. Since the PG&E transmission facilities are closer to the project site, any interconnection from WAPA lines (and the high cost of transmission tie-in line), were eliminated from further study. As mentioned above, Alternative 2, interconnecting to the Manteca-Kasson line is the preferred alternative, due to its close proximity to the project site and its connection to the Tesla station west of Tracy, which allows the best flexibility of procuring power supplies throughout the State. Additionally, existing PG&E distribution lines extend into LID'S 9
