Copperas Cove - Ding Dong 138kV Transmission Line Habitat
Conservation Plan and Environmental Assessment,
Coreyell and Bell Counties, Texas
TXU Electric Delivery proposes to construct and operate a
transmission line between the existing TXU Copperas Cove Substation
in Coryell County, Texas, and the Brazos Electric Power Cooperative
Ding Dong Substation located in Bell County, Texas, a distance of
about 16 miles. The proposed route crosses habitat for the
black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla) and golden-cheeked
warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia), which are two federally
listed endangered species. Loomis Partners worked with TXU and the
Lopez Garcia Group to perform breeding season surveys and complete
a Habitat Conservation Plan and Endangered Species Act Section 10(a)
permit application for submittal to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. The final permit was issued in February 2007.
