Chignecto National Wildlife Area, Nova Scotia - Pole Replacement on High Voltage Transmission Line L6551

Nova Scotia Power Incorporated is proposing to undertake maintenance actions and repairs to existing electricity transmission infrastructure located within the boundaries of the Chignecto National Wildlife Area.

The Chignecto National Wildlife Area is administered under the Wildlife Area Regulations of the Canada Wildlife Act. The National Wildlife Area contains two high-voltage electricity transmission lines operated by Nova Scotia Power Incorporated, within its boundaries. Both transmission lines, and associated Right of Way corridors, pre-date establishment of the National Wildlife Area.

The scope of this project includes replacement of two wooden pole structures which are required to ensure safe and efficient operation of the high-voltage transmission line L6551. Activities to be performed will include temporary water level manipulation of the constructed wetland complex surrounding the pole structures, installation of temporary equipment mats, removal of existing wooden pole structures and installation of new steel-fiber-glass pole structures.
