Current plans are to inspect approximately 113 to 115 of the system, which equates to
approximately 1,000 miles a/Transmission Circuits (or approximately 7,500 wood structures).
We will have a 3rd party contract crew complete ground line sound and bore inspections for
approximately 7,500 wood poles. We also will aerial patrol the entire transmission system two
(2) times during 2013. We will perform a ground inspection on all lines 200kv and higher.
These patrols will begin in March 2013.
