General Statements:
Site plan must comply with the City's minimal landscape and buffer ordinance
requirements.
Re -design of the Proposed parking lots is recommended. With the use of 60
degree, angled, directional parking with egress/ingress by use of the existing alley
most, if not all, of the following issues can become. moot.
Proposed site plan does not allow for the City's minimal landscaping and buffer
requirements along the southern, western, and eastern property lines.
Curb and gutter or another approved border will be required to protect landscaped
areas from vehicular traffic.
An automatic irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required.
Batter Street Parkin Lot:
The proposed parking lot along Battery Street does not allow for the City's
minimal landscaping and buffer ordinance requirements.
Along the southern property line, a minimum of (9) foot wide landscape buffer is
required next to the residentially zoned property. In addition, a 6 fact 9 inch wide
landscape strip is required in this same area. This is a requirement of the
landscape ordinance. Approval is required from the City Beautiful Commission
for a variance from this minimal requirement.
In addition to this minimal landscape area, screening is required to be a six (6)
foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side directed
outward, a wall, or dense evergreen plantings.
The area between Battery Street and the proposed parking lot must be increased to
a minimum of 9 foot wide to meet the cities minimum buffer ordinance
requirements. The landscape ordinance will also require this area to be a
minimum of six foot nine inches. Approval is required from the City Beautiful
Commission for a variance from this minimal requirement.
The landscape ordinance requires a three foot (3') wide minimum landscape strip
between the parking lot(s) and the building, or in the general area.
Summit Street Parkin Lot:
The proposed parking lot along Summit Street does not allow for the City's
minimal landscaping and buffer Ordinance requirements.
Along both the western, northern and southern property lutes a minimum of tune
foot wide landscape buffer is required. The Iandscape ordinance will also require
this area to be a minimum of six foot gine inches. Approval is required from the
City Beautiful Commission for a variance from this minimal requirement.
In addition to this minimal landscape area, screening is required to be a six (6)
foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side directed
outward, a wall, or dense evergre
Property Imes of this pen plantings along the northern and southern
arking lot area along Summit Street.
The landscape ordinance requires a minimum of 8 % of the paved areas be
landscaped with interior islands of at least 7 %s feet in width and 150 square feet in
area. Proposed plan does not currently reflect this minimum; however, if the
striped areas on plan were to be changed to reflect the area as interior landscape
beds then this minimum requirement would be met.
8. St. Andrews Church Z -7784-A
Site plan must comply with the City's minimal landscape and buffer ordinance
requirements.
Prior to the any earthwork, it is required to have protective orange fencing around
all of the treeslvegetatiOn shown to be preserved on the site/grading plan. A sign -
off reflecting inspection of proper installation Of the fencing is also required prior
to anY/all grading on the site.
A 50 foot buffer is required along eastern property line next to the residentially
zoned property. Currently, the detention pond is shown encroaching into this
area. This area is to remain undisturbed.
Screening is required due to the residential use along the western perimeter of the
site. This screening is to be a six (6) foot high opaque screen, either a wooden
fence with its face side directed outward, a wall, or dense evergreen plantings.
Preserved vegetation may suffice for this screening requirement thus eliminating
the need for an opaque fence. This area is not to be thinned/cleared out and must
provide a year around screening to suffice.
The landscape ordinance requires a minimum of 8 % of the paved areas be
landscaped with interior islands of at least 7 Meet in width and 150 square feet in
area. The western most parking lot is not currently meeting this minimum
requirement. Interior islands should also be evenly distributed within the parking
lot area.
An automatic irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required
Prior to a building permit being issued, it will be necessary to provide an
approved landscape plan stamped with the seal of a Registered Landscape
Architect.
The City Beautiful Commission recommends preserving as many existing trees as
feasible on this tree -covered site. Credit toward fulfilling Landscape Ordinance
requirements can be given when properly preserving trees of six (6) inch caliper
or larger.
10. Entergy Services Inc. Z-7980
Site plan must comply with the City's minimal landscape and buffer ordinance
requirements.
Due to the residentially zoned property around the site's entire perimeter, an
undisturbed buffer area is required. Along the northern and southern boundaries,
21 foot of undisturbed area is required. Along the eastern and western perimeters
of the site, 24 foot of undisturbed area is required.
In addition to the undisturbed buffer area, screening is required. This screening is
to be a six (6) foot high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face side
directed outward, a wall, or dense evergreen plantings.
An automatic irrigation system to water landscaped areas will be required.
Prior to a building permit being issued, it will be necessary to provide an
approved landscape plan stamped with the seal of a Registered Landscape
Architect.
The City Beautiful Commission recommends preserving as many existing trees as
feasible on this tree -covered site. Credit toward fulfilling Landscape Ordinance

Concern over the Proposed Entergy Substation on Colonel Glenn Road
May 10, 2006
Dear Little Rock City Planning Commissioners,
The Ecological Conservation Organization (ECO) has been in
Entergy Substation on Colonel Glenn Road. ECO is a non -pr(
focuses on "Research, Restoration, and Environmental Advoc,
lengths to investigate issues before taking positions or making
some serious concerns with the proposal to fill valuable floodl
encourage the Planning Commission to take a hard look at thir,
associated with the proposed location of the substation.
Our concern stems primarily over the loss of floodplains and tl
residents. The proposed location lies within the Fourche Creel
system. While there is some confusion over what is designates
confusion over whether or not the area floods during any mear.
weeks two storm events have shown that the area floods at a si
personal site visit to witness these conditions.
No one can debate that West Little Rock has changed drastical., -.-. 1.1, IUDL <.,11 y1-,aia. riic arca is
quickly becoming more developed and as a result, more impervious, or more paved. Because of this
change, the hydrology of the watershed is equally changing in a drastic measure. The current
floodplain/floodway maps are outdated and inaccurate. Many things have changed in the watershed
since 1996, when they were last amended, and the results of these changes have a direct and serious
impact on the drainage system and the community that lives within it. Imagine, if you will, a full glass
of water that is overflowing as you drop objects into it. This is a very good simulation of what is
happening in the Fourche Creek Watershed. Millions of dollars have been spent in the last few years to
protect and restore valuable flood storage areas in the Fourche Creek Watershed. The City of Little
Rock, EPA, National Audubon, and groups like our own have been working diligently to restore this
5/23/2006
Page 2 of 3
watersheds floodplains and ECO has a direct interest in protecting this work
The filling of floodplains that would be required for the foundation of the substation would subtract
valuable acres of flood storage to the Fourche Watershed. Currently, the proposed area serves as safety
mechanism to local residents during storm events. In fact, during the storm event on Saturday, April
29th the area was inundated with overflow from the adjacent creek and downstream residence faced
serious flooding conditions. I personally visited with numerous residents and witnessed the high water
marks up to their door steps. At the very least, this issue should be further examined prior to making a
final decision about the placement of a substation in this area. If time is of the essence, then we
recommend moving forward on a reasonable alternative site.
ECO is an organization that proposes alternatives when taking a position of opposition. In this
particular case, an alternative took little deliberation. Less than a mile away lies a piece of property that
has already been impacted from past activities, does not fall within the floodplain, is not surrounded by
homes, and is available for purchase. The alternative site was used in years past as a rock quarry and
currently lies vacated. ECO and other local residents view this location as the most reasonable location
for such a facility. An important note should also be made that this site is not surrounded with public
opposition and would be the most logical resolution to this problem.
If additional cost would be incurred from locating a substation at this alternative site, we strongly
believe that any additional cost would be minuet in comparison to the impacts that would stem from
locating a large substation in a floodplain where valuable flood storage would be lost. The direct cost of
flooding to downstream residence is immeasurable and the threat of loss of life is unthinkable. ECO
calls upon the Planning Commission to lead your charge of planning with reason and rationale and deny
application approval for the currently proposed site for the Entergy Substation. ECO stands ready to
support the Planning Commission and Entergy on locating their substation at the proposed alternative
site (rock quarry).
Thanks for your consideration and leadership.
Sincerely,
Rob Fisher

Subject: Proposed Entergy Substation on Colonel Glenn Road
RE: Pronused Enkw Substation on Colonel Glenn Road
The Central Arkansas Group of the Sierra Club joins the organization of concerned property owners of
Colonel Glenn Road who object to the initial proposed location of the Entergy substation. There are
substantial reasons why the proposed location along Colonel Glenn Road is inappropriate and heedless.
Locating a high voltage/high energy substation in close proximity to long-term property owners suggests
that the only possible reason for that
location would be that it is the lowest cost of several alternative sites.
That location presently is pasture land, and is a beautiful valley with a sense of quietude and peace. It,
being the lowest elevation, and a river
valley that is prone to flooding, harbors a wealth of habitat that would most certainly be destroyed.
Why? We think because of low imagination.
Most of the residents have lived there in that beautiful valley for many years, and are keenly aware of
the exquisite natural beauty of the setting.
Of definite low imagination, actually one devoid of imagination, comes the idea that Entergy could, and
have the power in their voice, will that the
valley be struck down of this quality, and you can see the impertinence of their idea.
To arrive at the sense of what we're saying, it will be important for each of you if possible, or definitely
a quorum of your group, to visit with the
considerable number of activated property owners that care about the misapplied Colonel Glenn
proposed site. All of them, from Howard and Sue
Ann Stephens (phone number: 800-207-8702) and Dr. and Mrs. Rudy and Carolyn Jolley (501-225-
0098) will be happy to meet with you and point out the
salient aspects of the several locations being considered, and will show you just how close by the large
transformers would be to residences, the
proposed juxtaposition of which would be only a few hundred feet.

The Colonel Glenn property owners alternative: a site on Lawson road, some six -tenths of a mile away
from the Colonel Glenn site, and a site that would
bear the ability for enlargement for the future, is a rock quarry. It isn't flood prone, has a natural level
rock floor, and, we guess, would cost a
little more for Entergy to run spur transmission towers over to it.
Only with our visit were we sold... on the Lawson Road quarry site. It's a quite ugly, perfect site for
high voltage. If the transformers catch fire
and explode, the quarry would contain the exploding transformers and subsequent fire. On a daily basis
the quarry would contain the audible hum
of the huge transformers. Also, there are no expensive, established homesteads in the immediate
vicinity.
Please make your decision an informed one; and, we don't really see how you can actually be informed
with a few charts and the seemingly -convincing
statements by those paid to apply pressure.
Please visit and make up your own mind. We recommend preserving the fundamental beauty of that
valley.
Thanks for your consideration.

To: Members of the Little Rock Planning Commission
My wife and I purchased 9 acres out Colonel Glenn Road in 1975. At that time only
University Avenue was open as I-430 was not yet complete. We both worked in town
but desired to live in a rural area to have a large garden and take care of the pets we
adopted from the Humane Society of Pulaski County where I was president at that
time.
We built our home about 100 yards off Colonel Glenn Road in order to have privacy and
security. For 30 years we have maintained, improved and beautified our home and land.
At our request in 1975, 2 acres of our land along McHenry Creek bank was designated
by the US Dept. of Agriculture as a wildlife habitat management refuge. We have
honored that designation since that time and are host to all kinds of song birds, blue
herons, hawks and land animals. We are very troubled knowing that the industrialization
of the adjoining property will disturb the wildlife with noise, lights, traffic, muddying the
creek and destroying the lovely spring. The proposed site is only about 100 ft. from the
refuge area of our yard. We are also in danger of floodwaters created by the electric sub-
station being just upstream moving and modifying the land and creek.
Over the past 30 years my wife and I have invested all of our extra funds in our house,
yard and garden, a small barn and tractor, and a lovely vineyard of muscadines. I am
active in the Master Gardner program with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Ex-
tension Service and benefit healthwise from my outside work in the yard and garden.
Never in our wildest dreams did we consider that anyone or anything could threaten
to lower our standard of living and devalue our property. It has always been a great
comfort in our life to know we could sell our property in our later years for enough to
live in a retirement center or retirement home without having to ask for financial assist-
ance. Now I'm 78 years old and my wife is 72 and we stand the chance of having
much of the value of our property wiped out by the construction of a huge unsightly
electric substation plant at our side yard view. Who would want this? Our home
was designed to take advantage of the south view overlooking McHenry Creek which
has for 30 years been a great source of pride to us. If this proposal by Entergy
comes to pass it will make us ashamed and sad for anyone to see.
Entergy has the option of locations which are in already developed areas along main
roads with easy access. Building on the proposed site will destroy an environmentally
beautiful area. Approximately 8 families live in the neighborhood within 200 yards or
less of the site and they will all be harmed in various ways mainly being financially.
Our research seems to indicate this would be an unprecedented site for such a gigantic
obtrusive undesirable plant which, while being squeezed onto a 3.28 acre site in the 100
year floodplain, could destroy the entire 7 acres of land adjoining our property.
We appreciate your sincere consideration of this matter. Thank you.

Subject: Sue Ann and Howard
11/25/05
Sue Ann and Howard,
It was good to hear from you the other day. As I mentioned, I am happy to provide you
any information that I can about the #iooding in the area where I lived with Uncle Louie
and Aunt Beede (Louis and Velera Fleschner).
As you may remember, I came to live with them on Lawson Road in the summer of
1964. The address was 1100 Lawson Road at that time. However, I believe that the
address was changed later. The 1100 part meant that the home was 11 miles from the
State Capitol. I lived with them until I graduated from high school in 67 and went off to
college. However, I still called this home until I was married in 73. I continued to visit
them and call them family until each passed away. They were my family and I was very
appreciative of the fact that they took me in after my mother's death.
I know of three major floods in the area. I am certain that there were_many over the
Years, but these are the only ones that I have recollection of directly, either through my
uncle's "story telling," for he was a great historian, or through my personal experience. I
can also recall my uncle's worry and constant vigilance during my years with them -
during the fall and spring rains. He was constantly on alert during these times because of
his past experiences with McHe Creep and the small creek behind the house. As I
recall, this creek was called Coleman or Colburn Creek. It was mostly a dry water stream
— only flowing after a rain.
The first flood that I am aware of was through Uncle Louie's experience. The flood took
place in the late 40's or early 50's. He told of hearing a thunderous roar in the middle of
the night only to get out of their home in time to see a wall of water travel down
McHenry Creek like a steam roller. He told of going down to the Mowery's after the
water passed to check on them. When he arrived at their place he found that the area had
been flooded even to the point that the chickens in the Chicken House had drowned. He
told of he and Aunt Beede helping the Mowery's until early morning light cleaning and
processing all of these chickens to keep them from going to waste.
_The second flood that I am aware of hapyened to me pero� -ally. I do not recall the year,
but I was in high school by this time. I recall a heavy rain for several days it seems.
When the school bus pulled up to let me off at the house the creeks were completely out
of their banks. At this time the water from McHenry Creek was just under the bridge
touching the steel support beams. I waded through water in the driveway that was
approx. 4 feet deep. The water was flowing fast throuthe field beside the and
11/25/2005
Page 2 of 2
into "McHqM Creek which was also swollen out of its banks. The water was up to our
home, but not in it. I remember seeing water all over the fields and covering that whole
area.
The third time that I remember flooding I was married and living away from the area.
When we talked you advised that it was in 78. This is very likely. Anyway, I was
informed about the impact of the flood on Uncle Louie after the fact. Actually, I had
called to find out how he was fairing because of the rains and flooding in other areas
around the city. This was on the news. I discovered that he had been taken from his
home in boat due to the hi flood waters which were fast movie and very dangerous. It
P _........_.. . .
was at this time that the water got into the home which was about 4 feet off of the mound
at the closest int to MLHeng Creek. The water also completely flooded his car
rendering it unusable. Even after considerable work on the vehicle it never ran properly
again after that.
One added note. The levy that is on the property, also at the tree line was built there by
Uncle Louis. It was there to help detour the water flow that comes out of the field during
a flood in that area.
I hope this info helps. It is what I recall to the best of my ability. Take care and good to
hear from you.
Jerry

O&R-Electrical-Substation-Public-Hearing47-7-971
Subject: OAR Electrical Substation Public Hearing (7/7/97)
Date: Wed, 9 Jul 1997 191603 -0500 (CDT)
From: GeorgeP123@aol.com
To: Multiple recipients of list <emf-1@mail.11ion.org>
------------------------------------------------------
Stony Point, NY (7/7/97) The continuedPlanning Board Public Hearing for the
_
proposed Orange & Rockland Electrical Substation which was 2ie13 at`the
Farley
Middle School on Monday night and was attended by approximately 50 Stony
Point residents who overwhelmingly denouced the companies proposal to place
their electrical substation near homes in the residential area of West Main
Street and Crickettown Road.
The Public Hearing was kept open because sufficient questions were raised
and
have not been answered regarding safety (increased emf exposure, danger of
fire and explosion), noise (increased noise emitting from transformers,
cooling fans, etc.), potential of expansion plans and loss of property
value.
NYC firefighter and batallian commander, and Stony Point resident, Kevin
/O'Keefe raised several important questions to both the Planning Board on
V Monday and the Zoning Board last Tuesday ni ht regarding the absence of a
firefighting plan and whether the Stony Point fire department has the 1_
Manpower 2. Equipment 3. Materials to fight an electrical substation fire.
TV and newspaper reports were shown as examples from recent substation firgs
in Yonkers, NY and Elizabeth, NJ to demonstrate the tremendous difficulty_
`6at_ t. The Yonkexs Fite Department, a full time
professional fire department, needed mutal aid manpower, equipment and foam_
from New York City in order to battle the blazes that raged for alm2s&
hours before the fire was brought undgz contz I. Both the Yonkers, NY and
Elizabeth, _NJ were only two of the most recent fires that originated from
electrical substations that were located in an industrial, not a residential
area. O&R's Garnerville electical substation exploded in 1993 causing largle
____pieces of the substation to pierce nearby homes and land in nearby swimming.
pools. Luckily no one was injured because the explosion occurred at 5am when
no one was outside.
Until these and other safety and environmental questions were raised by
members of the Stony Point Action Committeee for the Environment (SPACE),
OAR
did not even consider preparing a fire protection plan for the proposed
substation. As a result of the questions that were raised, OAR and the Stony
Point Planning Board has now asked the Stony Point Fire Department to
develop
a plan or determine if such a plan is even workable.
Residents from neaby Old Tappan, NJ also testified and presented evidence
that when OAR built the substation near their homes,_they lied about the
amount of noise and disruption it would create in their lives. The steady "•�
hummm sound keeps them awake at night, has had effects on their health and
has devalued their homes, making it very difficult to enjoy their home or
sell their Property-
While SPACE recognize the need for for D&R to provide electrical service to
Stony Point, we have strongly opposed the placement of an electrical
substation in a residential area for the past five years because s not,.
ca ait 1 ith Ston Point Zoning and OAR has stated that they cannot
guarentee the safety of its operation or protection of nearby residents._
The Public Hearing was kept open pending the receipt of the proposed
firefighting plan from 06R and the Stony Point Fire Department.

ronmental Acceptance
oy most elec-
_—....ty companies and the requirement to
keep pace with the demands for additional
distribution facilities.
Approvals for new substations on an ex-
isting site can be subjected to extensive envi-
ronmental review. In various parts of the
country, a variety of permits are required by
the governing bodies before construction of a
substation may begin. Concerns are being
voiced by local municipalities and state and
federal agencies in areas not considered nec-
essary heretofore in the permitting process. In
some instances, utilities are finding that land
acquired for substations years in advance of
construction is deemed impossible to build on
under present requirements without undue
hardship.
For community acceptance, environmental
considerations must be satisfactorily ad-
dressed in the design, construction, and opera-
tion of new substations. Areas necessary for
review in an effort to gain community accep-
tance include
(1)
Noise
(2)
Site preparation
(3)
Aesthetics
(4)
Fire protection
(5)
Potable water and sewage
(6)
Hazardous materials
(7)
Electric and magnetic fields
(8)
Safety and security
This guide -has been divided into three
major sections. The goal of this document is to
provide guidance to project engineers for ac-
ceptable environmental practices to (1) design,
(2) construct, and (3) operate safe and reliable
substations for environmental acceptance.
1.2 Scope. This guide documents significant
environmental items to be considered during
the design phase, the construction period, and
the operation of safe and reliable substations
for community acceptance. On-site genera-
tion and telecommunication facilities are not
considered.
2. Definitions
Definitions of terms pertinent to the subject
matter are listed here. Definitions as given
herein apply specifically to the application of
this guide. For additional definitions, see
IEEE Standard 100-1988, IEEE Standard Dic-
tionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms
(ANSI).
A -weighted sound level. The representation of
the sound pressure level that has as much as 20
to 40 dB of the sound below 100 Hz and a sim-
ilar amount above 10 000 Hz filtered out. This
level best approximates the response of the
average young ear when listening to most
ordinary, ever d_ � ! sounds. Generally re-
ported as dBA.
commercial zoning. Includes offices, shop-
ping, hotels, motels, service establishments, or
other retail/commercial facilities as defined
by local ordinances.
hazardous material. Any material that has
been so designated by governmental agencies
or adversely impacts human health or the
environment.
industrial zoning. Includes manufacturing
plants where fabrication or original manu-
facturing is done as defined by local ordi-
nances.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical
Committees of the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees
serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessar-
ily members of the Institute. The standards developed within IEEE
represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the
Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have
expressed an interest in participating in the development of the
standard..
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an
IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce,
test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services
related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint
expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to
change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard
is subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reafrlr-
mation. When a document is more than five years old and has not
been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, al-
though still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the
art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest
edition of any IEEE Standard.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any
interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE.
Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a pro-
posed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the
meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific applica-
tions. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of
IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate re-
sponses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all con-
cerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has
also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason
IEEE and the members of its technical committees are not able to
provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those
cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be
addressed to:

IEEE Standards documents are adopted by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers without regard to whether their adoption
may involve patents on articles, materials, or processes. Such adop-
tion does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it
assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the standards
documents.
noise. Undesirable sound emissions or un-
desirable electromagnetic signals/emissions.
residential zoning. Includes single-family
and multi -family residential units, as de-
fined by local ordinance.
wetlands. Any land that has been so desig-
nated by governmental agencies. Character-
istically, such land contains vegetation
associated with saturated types of soil.

4.1.2 Noise Abatement
4.1.2.1 Design Limits. Audible noise, }
particularly continuously radiated discrete l`
tones, is the type of noise most likely to be
subject to governmental regulation. Such
regulations may require that sound emissions
from a substation be within a specified�J
tolerance from the surrounding ambient, or
they may require absolute limits on
emissions, usually varying the limits with the
zoning of the adjacent properties. Typical '
design limits at the property in use within the R [J
industry today are as follows:1

limit "prominent discrete tones" and should be
addressed.
4.1.2.2 Reduced Transformer Sound

trete tones in a substation careful apintion-to.
the -design of the transformers_ can have a sig_:
nificarnt effect on controlling_wise_gmissiuna-
_efth kvintation_property_line. The trans-
formers can be specified with noise emissions
below standard quoted levels, with values as
much as 10 dBA below those levels being
typical. In severmly - . strictive cases ran$
formers can be s ecified with noise emissions
20 dBA less than standard g7up .levels. Alsv�
the inclusion in the transformer specification
of a dollar value for no-load losses in the bid
evaluation encourages transformer msnu-..
facturers to design more efficient units.. Low -
lose transformers are generally quieter than_
standard designs.
4.1.2.3 Low-Imapulse Noise Equipment.
Outdoor -type switchiDst equipment is the cause
of moat impulse noise. Specification of
switchgear construction and the use of vacuum
or SF6 circuit breakers where possible are the
most effective means of controlling impulse
emissions. The use of circuit switcbers for
transformerand Zine switching can also pro__
vide significant imidlse ern over standard standard air break switches.
4.1A iiidio Frequenc(rf) Noise and
Corona.Induced Audible Noise Control. Con-
tinuously radiated rf noise and corona -
induced audible noise can be controlled b ry the -
use of corona -free hardware and shielding for
high-voltage conductors and attention to con-
ductor shapes to avoid sharp corners. Angle
and bar conductors can be used successfully up
to 138 kV without objectionable corona if bolts
are kept as short as possible. Tubular shapes
are required above this voltage.
Above 138 W, pronounced edges, extended
bolts, and abrupt ends on the conductors can
cause significant rf noise to be radiated. The „
diameter of the conductor also has an effect on
the generation of corona, particularly in wet
we..aLtber when water droplets disturb the
smooth auifaee of cyndueuctors. See IEEE Std -
605-1987 MI.
4.1.2.6 Equipment Placement. The effect
of noise sources on the surroundings can be
mitigated by carefully siting the noise sources
within the confines of the substation property.
In addition, making provisions for the
installation of mobile transformers, engine
generators, etc., near the center ofthe ruer
i
rather than at tie magas, __' assn tb�e�f
on the neighbors.

If adequate space to Wssipate a noise energy
before reaching the property line is not avail-
able, structural elements might be required.
These can consist of screens, walls, noise-
absorbing panels, or deflectors. In addition,
earthen berms or below -grade installation
may be effective. It may be possible to deflect
audible noises, especiallythe continuous)
radiated tones most noticeable tothe puhlic to
areas not expected to be �ra`u% es me. Sound -
absorbing walla or screening elements are
usually- masonry or some other structural
assembly. It should be noted that foliage,
which provides significant aesthetic benefit to
the substation site, is not particularly effective
for noise reduction purposes.
42 Site Preparation
4.2.1 Grade. The selection of a design ele-
vation for a substation yard should include
consideration of environmental factors in ad-
dition to construction and cost factors. A lower
elevation in relation to surrounding terrain
and vegetation may improve concealment.
This, however, can significantly increase .
construction impacts i£.the watertable is high, _
if there is a ledge to be excavated and removed,
or if there is a flooding potentagi et the lower __
elevation. The slope of s substation yard
diould be designed to lessen erosion and
sedimentation potentials and should regard
oil -spill containment in the more imperme-
able soils. A sloped yard or swale will also
lessen the extent to which side -sloped or
retaining walls are required to connect yard
grade to the exterior ground.
SAFE AND RELIABLE SUBSTATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACCEPTANCE
4.2.2 Sediment Control. Sedimentation po-
tential is more likely to exist on sites consist-
ing of fine sand or silty soil, and sites that
have side slopes. A layer of medium to coarse
sand beneath a stone surface can minimize
this potential within a substation yard area
that is long and steeply sloped. For exterior
side slopes, the erosion potential increases
with both the length and the steepness of the
slope. Because slope length decreases as the
steepness increases, a common solution for
overall economy and minimal environmen-
tal impact is to provide the steepest struc-
turally -stable slope, thus minimizing slope
length. This is especially the case where exist-
ing tree screening is important. Secondary
measures to curb slope erosion include the in-
stallation of top -slope diversion channels and
intermediate benches cut into the slopes. Both
of these measures require additional cleared
space. Another solution which does not take
space is the placement of a layer of medium to
coarse sand over the finer materials and be-
neath the top soil. The disadvantage to this
solution is it may deprive the vegetative cover
of needed moisture.
Many states have published erosion and
sedimentation -control guidelines that should
be referenced in substation design.
4.2.3 Oil -Spill Containment and Control.
IEEE Std 980-1987 [51 provides design guidance
for the detection, containment, and control of
non -PCB insulating -oil spills in substations.
Plans for spill protection, containment, and
control are required in the United States for
some substation facilities near to navigable
waters. If designs for oil -spill containment
and/or diversion are required or desirable,
see IEEE Std 980-1987 [5].
4.2.4 Access Roads. For environmental
compatibility, access roads should be designed
to be unobtrusive. Width, for example, can be
limited to one lane except for turnouts at
intervals from 200 to 400 ft, and widened to two
lanes at vertical and horizontal curves with
short sight distances. Where tree screening is
available, horizontal curves should be pro-
vided so as not to open a view of the substation
from the street.
A satisfactory surfacing material is a well
graded, thoroughly washed, crushed stone
without fine material subject to dusting. Roads
can be hard paved if
IEEE
Std 1127-1990
(1) matching the appearance of neigh-
boring entryways is important
(2) required by local ordinance
(3) on a steep grade subject to erosion
4.2.5 Storm -Water Management. Where
rapid scour by storm -water flow entering or
leaving a substation yard is not a problem,
sedimentation control features of substation
design will be adequate by themselves. Where
this is a potential problem, site design should,
to the extent possible, minimize changes to the
storm water entering and leaving the site. In
either case, storm -water management must
conform to governmental agency require-
ments.
425.1 Upstream Considerations. Most, if
not all, communities throughout the United
States have flood maps prepared under the
auspices of the Federal Emergency Manag�
ment Agency. These maps indicate strea
floodways where construction is strongly
�scaur�ed, and floo wa rin es were
construction is 1im:te and sub'ect to the

of the control may, in the future, 22a with the
J `
quantity of flow, the control must be located
.
and its position RreserveA, throughout the
entire range of stream flows. A substation
yard should nQt_be..ituut&d where control -
would be affected. However, the access road
may sometimes be permitted to remain in the
general area of the control if it is situated
exactly at existing grade, and any stream
crossing is made with a bridge. For wetland
preservation, such a bridge and its abutments
need be outside of the watercourse during
normal flows but not necessarily outside of the
streams floodway. This same bridge concept
can be used to help preserve existing con-
ditions downstream.
42.62 Downstream Considerations. It is
, n
often necessary to select those aspects of�-
drainage changes least likely to adversely
affect critical downstream activities and
hold
design to changes to a minimum at the
point of these activities, even at the expense of
greater changes for less sensitive areas. The �p �' }
9
DQE
W1127-1990 IEEE GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF
most common problem is the acceleration of
runoff due to pipe flow channelization, elim-
ination of natural hills by smooth grading,
and hard paving. Corrective flow -retarding
measures include providing rough channel
bottoms, usually in the form of large angular
rocks, lengthening channels and thereby de-
creasing slopes, and detention basins. Exces-
sive detention will rarely cause a downstream
problem except in extremely and areas where
evaporation is significant.
4.2.5.3 General Design Considerations.
Where space permits, open ditch storm -water
systems are generally preferable to pipe sys-
tems. Open ditch storm -water systems are less
costly, minimize blockage problems, and
usually provide better retardation of runoff.
The possibffity of oil spills should be consid -
ered in storm -water system_ dess. The co -
sequences of not having_ adequate _storm
dram name within a working area are usually-,
limited to tem ra shallgw fl odi g-ndice_,
hazarda—BAth_Rf these consequences can be
mitigated by applying additional crushed
stone to problem areas.
4.2.6 Wetlands. The design of an new
substation should protect wetTand soils from
sedimentation runoff, oil spills, and changes
in storm water discharge flows. Mapping
wetland boundaries and designing a facility
that will minimize construction activities
within designated wetlands should be a prior-
ity. Some government agencies may prohibit
any disturbance to a designated wetland area.
If no alternative exists to utilizing wetland
soil, design consideration should be given to
preserving and improving surrounding wet-
lands as a compromise for community ac-
ceptance.
To facilitate community review of a substa-
tion project that borders or utilizes wetlands, a
site -development plan is desirable. Such a
plan for the site and its immediate surround-
ings should include
(1) Land -use description
(2) Grades and contours
(3) Location of any wetland boundaries
and stream -channel encroachment
lines
(4) Indication of flood -prone areas
4 _ The plan should describe how site prepara-
tion will modify or otherwise impact these
—1
areas and what permanent control measures
will be employed.
43 Aesthetics
4.3.1 Site Rendering. Because a substation
can be difficult for a community to envision
from plan drawings alone, 'a site rendering
can be useful. A rendering is an artist's
drawing, painting, or photographic retouch-
ing, preferably in color, as accurate and re-
alistic as possible. Such renderings enable a
proposed substation to be visualized from
common vantage points within the context of
its surroundings. The need for and effect of
various design measures to improve substa-
tion aesthetics are more readily seen from a
site rendering. Projection techniques, com-
puter simulations, or scale models are alter-
natives to site renderings which may also be
useful.
4.3.2 Landscaping. Where buffer space ex-
ists on site to provide vegetative concealment
of a substation, landscaping, especially as a
supplement to natural vegetative screening, is
a very effective aesthetic treatment. On a site
with little natural screening, plantings can be
used in concert with architectural features to
complement and soften the visual effect.
Shrubs, hedges, and other small plantings
are useful for low coverage, fill-in, and ac-
cent. These should be employed informally
and with variety. Low -ground cover and
grasses are effective on berms and in ditches.
Coniferous trees give excellent coverage and
color, and can be used in clusters, in hedges,
or spaced apart. Size should be sufficient for
the screening purpose but not so large as to
endanger overhead lines.
All plantings should be locally -available
and compatible types, and should require min-
imum maintenance. Their location near
walls and fences should not compromise sub-
station -grounding or security against trespass
by people or animals.
4.3.3 Fences and Walls. ANSI Std C2-1990
[1) requires that fences, screens, partitions, or
walls be employed to keep unauthorized per-
sons away from substation equipment.
4.3.3.1 Chain -Link Fences. This type of
fence is the least vulnerable to graffiti and is
generally the lowest -cost option. Chain-link
fences can be painted with dark colors to
minimize their visibility, or they can be ob-
tained with vinyl cladding. They can also be
10
SAFE AND RELIABLE SUBSTATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACCEPTANCE
installed with wooden slats or colored plastic
strips woven into the fence fabric. Grounding
and maintenance considerations should be
reviewed before selecting such options.
4.3.3.2 Wood Fences. This type of fence
should be constructed using pressure -treated
wood, naturally finished or stained for dura-
bility of appearance. A wood fence can be vi-
sually overpowering in some settings.
4.3.3.3 Walls. Although metal panel
and concrete block masonry walls cost
considerably more than chain-link and wood
fences, they deserve consideration where
natural and landscaped screening do not
yield a sufficient aesthetic treatment. Each of
these options is available in a range of types,
shapes, and colors, and can be used in
combination for an attractive architectural
appearance. Brick and precast concrete could
also be used in solid walls, but these materials
could be far more expensive. These materials
should be considered only where necessary for
architectural compatibility with neighboring
facilities.
4.3.4 Color. When substations are not well
screened from community views, coloring
should be considered to improve the visual
effects.
Above the skyline, the function of color is
usually limited to eliminating reflective
glare from fresh metal surfaces. Because the
sun's direction and the brightness of the back-
ground sky vary, no one color can soften the
appearance of substation structures throughout
the complete range of visual effect. A pale
blue -gray color for both structures and insu-
lators is a good compromise.
Below the skyline, color can be used in three
aesthetic capacities. Drab coloring, using
earth tones and achromatic hues, is a tech-
nique that masks the metallic sheen of such
objects as chain-link fences and steel struc-
tures and reduces visual contrast with the
surrounding landscape. Such coloring should
have very limited variation in hues, but con-
trast by varying paint saturation is often more
effective than a monotone coating. Colors and
screening can often be used synergistically. A
second technique is to use color to direct visual
attention to more aesthetically pleasing items,
such as decorative walls and enclosures. In
this use, some brightness is warranted,
but highly saturated or contrasting hues
should be avoided. A third technique is to
IEEE
Std 1127-1990
brightly color equipment and structures for
visual impact.
4.3.5 Lighting. When attractive landscap-
ing, decorative fences, enclosures, and colors
have been applied to enhance the appearance of
a highly visible substation, it may also be
appropriate to use lighting to highlight some of
these features at night.- Lighting of such
exterior features may be accomplished with
ornamental lighting, garden lighting, flood-
lights, or architectural lighting. Generally,
such lighting is more appropriate for larger
substations in commercial -industrial areas.
In a residential area, lighting that is different
than the lighting applied on nei hbarin res-
_ idential properties or that unnecessarily
focuses attention on a substation is more
likely to be unwelcome.. Although all-night
lighting can enhance substation security and
access at night, it should be applied with due
concern for nearby residences.
4.3.6 Structures. The importance of aesthetic
structure design increases for structures that
extend into skyline views, the skyline border
typically ranging from 20 to 35 ft above
ground. For low profile bus designs, structure -
aesthetic considerations are reduced. Trans-
mission -line termination structures are usu-
ally the tallest and most massive substation
structures. Unless underground cable lines
are installed, the size of such structures is dif-
ficult to reduce.
For additional cost, the most efficient struc-
ture design can be modified to improve its
appearance. Design ideas and concepts that
may be used for improved structure appear-
ance include
(1) Tubular construction
(2) No climbing devices visible in profile
(3) No splices in the skyline zone
(4) Limiting member aspect ratios for
slimmer appearance
(5) No use of pipe -flange type splices
(6) No gusset plates with right angle
corners visible in profile
(7) Tapering ends of cantilevers
(8) Making truss panel lengths equal
(9) Making truss diagonals with an
approximate 60° angle to chords
(10) Replacing full height diagonal braces
with short knee braces or moment -
resistant connections
(11) Using lap splice plates only on the
insides of H -section flanges.

TREE
Std 1127-1990 IEEE GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF
4.3.7 Enclosures. Total enclosure of a sub-
station, within a building that may serve other
non-utility needs, is an option in urban set-
tings where supply and feeder lines employ
underground cables. Enclosure by tall walls
(see 4.3.3), however, is preferred where en-
closure -type concealment is necessary for
community acceptance.
A less costly design alternative, in non-
urban locales that are served by overhead
power lines, is to take advantage of equipment
enclosures to modify visual impacts. Relay
and control equipment, station batteries, and
indoor power switchgear all require enclo-
sures. These enclosures can be aesthetically
designed and strategically located to supple-
ment landscape concealment of other substa-
tion equipment. The exterior appearance of
these enclosures can also be designed (size,
color, materials, shape) to match neighboring
homes or buildings where so desired.
Industrial -type, pre-engineered metal en-
closures are a versatile and economic choice
for substation equipment enclosures. Concrete
block construction is also a common choice for
which special shaped and colored blocks may
be selected to achieve a desired architectural
effect. Brick, architectural metal panels, and
pre -cast concrete can also be used.
Substation equipment enclosures usually
are not exempt from local building codes.
Community acceptance, therefore, requires
enclosure design, approval, and inspection in
accordance with local regulation.
4.3.8 Bus Designs. Substations can be
constructed partly or entirely within above-
ground or below -ground enclosures. However,
cost is high and complexity is increased by
fire -protection and heat -removal needs. Bus
design is not a community aesthetic concern
for such facilities, so this section is limited to
exposed above -ground substations.
4.3.8.1 Outdoor Bus. Conventional sub-
station bus design employs air insulation.
The bus and associated substation equipment
are exposed and directly visible. At distribu-
tion voltages the bus may be enclosed within a
metal -clad switchgear housing. An outdoor
bus may also be multi -tiered or spread out at
one lower level. Steel structures and insula-
tors support such bus and power line termina-
tions. Space permitting, a low -profile bus
layout is generally best for aesthetics and is
the easiest to conceal with landscaping, walls,
and enclosures. Overhead transmission line
terminating structures are taller and more
difficult to conceal in such a layout. In dry
climates, a low -profile bus can be achieved by
excavating the earth area, within which out-
door bus facilities are then located, for an even
lower profile.
4.3.82 Gas -Insulated Substations (GIS).
Bus and associated equipment can be housed
within pipe -type enclosures using sulfur
hexaflouride gas for insulation. Not only can
this achieve considerable compaction and
reduced site preparation for higher voltages, it
can be installed lower to the ground. GIS can
be an economically attractive bus design
where space is at a premium, especially if a
building -type enclosure will be used to house
such substation equipment.
4.3.8.3 Cable Bus. Short sections of over-
head or underground cables can be used at
substations, although this use is normally
limited to distribution voltages (e.g., for
feeder getaways or transformer -to -switchgear �LJ►
connections). At higher voltages, under-
ground cable used for other than line -entries
or to surmount a specific connection problem C
is not a practical aesthetic application.IQ

12
4.5 Potable Water and Sewage. limited by the
accessibility of the substation, the need for
potable water and sewage disposal facilities
may exist.
Water may be obtained from municipal or
cooperative water utilities or from private
wells. The quality of water supplied by munic-
ipal or cooperative water utilities is beyond the
control of the substation owner. The quality of
water from private wells, however, can be
controlled by location, depth, and treatment.
The limits on contaminants in well water
should be in compliance with any applicable
SAFE AND RELIABLE SUBSTATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACCEPTANCE
governmental agency regulations before the
well water is utilized for substation service.
Sewage may be disposed of by municipal
utilities, septic systems, or routinely serviced
portable toilet facilities. Care should be taken
during the design of the substation to elimi-
nate the possibility of equipment discharges,
such as oil or condensate, from entering the
substation's sewer system.
Where municipal utilities are used for ei-
ther water or sewer service, the requirements
of that utility must be met. The utility may
consider the substation owner as a developer
and apply the same requirements for water or
sewer main extensions that would be required
of a typical developer before service taps can be
made. Septic systems, when utilized, should be
designed utilizing currently accepted prac-
tices for the location of the substation and
should meet all applicable local, state, and
federal regulations.
In all cases, water and sewer facilities
should be designed using good engineering
practices and constructed to avoid freezing,
and to provide as maintenance -free operation
as possible. The design should consider local
climate and soil conditions and provide
systems that will not affect adjacent land
owners or inhabitants.
4.6 Hazardous Material. There are many
substances that if found on or under a new
substation site would make the site unusable or
require excessive amounts of money to "clean
up" the site before it would be usable. Some of
the substances that currently should be
considered are:
(1) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
(2) Asbestos
(3) Lead and other heavy metals
(4) Pesticides and herbicides
(5) Radioactive materials
(6) Petrochemicals
This list is not all-inclusive. Any substance
that a government agency has determined to
be hazardous to human health should be
included. Governmental guidelines for the
levels of these substances should be utilized to
determine if the substance is present in large
enough quantities to be considered.
It is strongly suggested that soil tests from a
prospective substation site, as well as tests of
13
IEEE
Std 1127-1990
the materials used in the construction of any
existing buildings or structures, be made
before developing the site to determine if any
substance from the six categories listed above
is present in large enough concentration to
require removal. The cost of this removal and
disposal should be considered before develop-
ing the site. If "clean up" is initiated, all ap-
plicable governmental guidelines and proce-
dures should be utilized.
4.7 Electric and Magnetic Fields. Electric
substations produce 60 Hz electric and mag-
netic fields. Various factors affect the levels of
these fields, including
(1)
Voltage
(2)
Current
(3)
Phase spacing
(4)
Bus height
(5)
Phase configurations
(6)
Distances
(7)
Phase unbalance
Electric fields are easily shielded by other
objects, but magnetic fields are not.
Analysis of magnetic fields generated by
overhead transmission lines is a fairly
straightforward task. Since the geometry is
simple and somewhat symmetrical, the source
can be characterized with a two-dimensional
model. Even faced with the challenges of real
world unbalanced loads and phase angles, the
two dimensional model is sufficiently ac-
curate for the design decision-making pro-
cess.
Characterization of electric and magnetic
fields in a substation environment, however,
is not as straightforward. Each substation has
a unique footprint based on its geometry. This
complex variable would overwhelm a two-
dimensional model and prove it inadequate
for the task. However, electric and magnetic
fields attenuate sharply with distance and will
often be reduced to a general ambient level at
the substation property lines. The exception is
where transmission or distribution lines enter
the substation. Measurements around similar
substations can be a means of roughly char-
acterizing what to expect from a new sub-
station.
Government regulations concerning levels
may exist and the substation design must
comply.
IEEE
Std 1127-1990
IEEE GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF
4.8 Safety and Security
4.8.1 Fencing. The primary means of
ensuring public safety at substations is by the
erection of a suitable barrier, such as a fence.
As a minimum, the fence should meet the
requirements of ANSI C2-1990 [1]. If a metallic
fence is employed, this code specifies a min-
imum of 7 ft of metal fabric, or 6 ft of metal
fabric plus a 1 -ft extension (measured verti-
cally) of barbed wire. IEEE Std 80-1986 [2]
should be used to ensure the design of a safe
and adequate grounding system. Nonmetallic
fences must present equivalent barriers to
climbing or other unauthorized entry. A
warning sign must be displayed at all
entrances indicating potential danger. It is
also good practice to place warning signs
where overhead lines cross the fence, and at
given intervals along long runs of fence.
Recommended clearances from substation
live parts to the fence are specified in IEEE
1119-1988 [6].
4.82 Lighting. Yard lighting may be used to
enhance security and allow equipment status
inspections. A yard -lighting system that pro-
vides a minimum ground -level lighting in-
tensity of 2 fc around equipment and the con-
trol -house area should be adequate for these
purposes without disruption to the surrounding
community.
4.8.3 Grounding. All metal objects in or
exiting from substations should be grounded
(generally to a buried metallic grid) to
minimize the possibility of the occurrence of
unsafe touch or step potentials during fault
conditions, and to allow for the adequate
return of ground currents. See IEEE Std 80-
1986[2].
5. Consbnwdon
5.1 Noisg, Noise control is iMportant during.
arlas sensitive to this !ype of
disturbance_. An evaluation should be made
prior to the start of construction to determine
noise restrictions that may be imposed at the
construction site. Governmental a enc'
should be consulted to determine if restrictions
apply. Typical areas where noise miti ation,
controls mai be required include residential,
hospital, convalescent homes, offices, schools,
and wildlife sanctuaries.
The following is a listing of suggested
methods that can be used to reduce noise dur-
ing the construction process:
(1) Equipment mufflers
(2) Barrier walls
(3) Blasting mats
(4) Sound -absorbent materials
(5) Selective and timely use of equipment
(6) Modification of noise sources
52 Site Preparation. The site preparation
process includes a number of activities that
could have potential environmental impacts.
The following is a listing of these activities,
the problems presented, and the control meth-
ods available.
5.2.1 Clearing, Grubbing, Excavation, and
Grading. Environmental concerns include
the creation of dust, mud, water runoff and
erosion, water quality, and sedimentation.
The stockpiling of excavated material and the
disposal of timber, brush, etc., are additional
items that should be considered in relation to
environmental impact. The protection of
existing wetlands, flood plains, streams, ar:
chaeological sites, and protected flora and
fauna needs to be addressed during this
period.
5.2.2 Site Access Roads. The preparation
and usage of site access roads creates envi-
ronmental concerns that consist of commer-
cial equipment traffic dust mud water
runoff erosion water uahi and sedimenta-
tion.
5.2.3 Water Drainage. Runoff control is
especially important during the construction
process. Potential environmental problems
include flooding, erosion, sedimentations,
and waste and trash carried off site.
5.2.4 Control Methods. The following is a
listing of methods that can be utilized to pre-
vent or control these types of problems.
52A A Dust and Mud Control
14
(1) Water sprinkling trucks and spray
hoses
(2) Chemical — nontoxic dust retarders
(3) Timely operation — in cases of moving
equipment
(4) Covered haulers
(5) Crushed stone access road
(6) Vehicle washing
(7) Routine road clean up
SAFE AND RELIABLE SUBSTATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACCEPTANCE
52.4.2 Erosion Control
(1) Terracing, benching, and serrated
slope areas
(2) Stone and soil dikes
(3) Drainage ditches
(4) Diversion structures
(5) Vegetation buffers
(6) Collection basins
(7) Soil stabilization (seeding, netting,
vegetation binders, wood chip cover,
mulching, sodding, hay or straw mat-
ting, shrubbery and creeper planting)
(8) Site access roads should follow natural
site contours where possible
52A3 Sediment Control
(1) Sediment basins and ponds
(2) Channeling swales
(3) Riprap or lined ditches
(4) Vegetation buffers
(5) Diked areas for dredging spoil
(6) Silt fences and hay bales
5.3 Safety and Security. Safety and security
procedures should be implemented at the outset
of the construction process to protect the public
and prevent unauthorized access to the site.
These procedures should be developed in
conformance with governmental agencies.
The safety and security program should be
monitored continuously to ensure that it is
functioning properly. The following are
suggestions for safety and security at the site:
(1) Temporary or permanent fencing
(2) Security guards
(3) Security monitoring systems
(4) Traffic control
(5) Warning signs
(6) Construction safety procedures
(7) Temporary lighting
5.4 Traffic Control. Greater use of various
types of construction vehicles and a greater
presence and flow of personal vehicles are ex-
perienced during the construction period than
when the substation is in normal operation. To
minimize the impact on the substation neigh-
borhood, the following activities should b
considered:
(1) Police assistance and manual traffic
control
(2) Traffic signal installations
IEEE
Std 1127-1490
(3) Reduce traffic at peak hours of com-
mercial or community use
(4) Coordinate movement with industries,
schools, or other activities in the area
(5) Move oversized vehicle loads over
roadways during minimum traffic pe-
riods
(6) Provide adequate parking on site
5.5 Site Housekeeping. During construction,
debris and refuse will accumulate. Efforts
should be made to properly store, remove, and
prevent these substances from migrating be-
yond the construction site.

IEEE
Std 1127-1990
IEEE GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF
5.7.4 Falling or Wind Blown Objects.
Watchmen or covers over sidewalks and ar-
eas adjacent to construction sites should be
considered when there is danger of falling ob-
jects injuring people or doing physical dam-
age to the property of others. Objects subject to
being blown by the wind should be properly se-
cured.
5.7.5 Open Fires. Burning of refuse should
be avoided. In many areas this activity is pro-
hibited by law.
5.7.6 Sanitation. Portable toilets that are
routinely serviced should be provided.
6.Operatiom
6.1 Noise
6.1.1 Transformers and Reactors. Periodic
maintenance and inspection of transformers
and reactors and their cooling systems should
be performed to ensure that all equipment is
functioning in accordance with their design.
Any loose attachments resulting from vibra-
tions could add to ambient noise levels.
6.1.2 Radio Frequency (rf) Noise. Inspec-
tions and cleaning of connectors and bus work
might be required to ensure continuous
corona -free performance of the designed
structures. It is also important to maintain
good electrical contact in all metallic parts to
eliminate gap sparking by ensuring proper
contact pressures.
6.1.3 Impulse. Community disturbances
from breaker and switch operations can be
minimized by proper scheduling of equipment
maintenance and testing.
6.1.4 Maintenance Work. Inspection of all
attributes of equipment designed to limit noise
should be performed periodically. This might
involve mufflers commonly found on break-
ers and current limiting devices on circuit
switchers.
62 Site Housekeeping
6.2.1 Water and Sediment Control. Routine
inspection of controls for water flows is im-
portant to maintain proper sediment control
measures. Inspection should be made for
basin failure and for gullies in all slopes. In-
spection of all control measures is necessary
to be sure that problems are corrected as soon
as they develop, and should be made a part of
regular substation inspection.
6.2.2 Yard Surface Control. Approved herbi-
cides should be used properly and with caution
to prevent runoff from damaging surrounding
vegetation. If this occurs, the affected area
should be covered with stone to retard velocity
of water runoff and prevent dust.
6.2.3 Paint. When material surfaces are
protected by paint, a regular inspection and re-
painting process should be outlined to main-
tain a neat and well maintained appearance,
and to prevent corrosion damage.
62.4 Landscaping. Landscaping should be
maintained to ensure perpetuation of design
integrity and intent. Successful accomplish-
ment of this goal will be enhanced by
(1) Watering
(2) Fertilization
(3) Approved chemical application
(4) Pruning
(5) Lawns maintenance
(6) Plant replacement as needed
62.5 Storage. In some areas, zoning will not
permit storage in substations. The local zon-
ing must therefore be reviewed before storing
equipment, supplies, etc. The appearance of the
substation should be considered so as not to be
an eyesore to the surrounding community.
6.3 Safety and Security. All substations should
be inspected regularly, following established
and written procedures to ensure the safety
and security of the station with regard to the
public. An inspection report should be com-
pleted on each substation. Safe and secure op-
eration of the substation requires adequate
knowledge and proper use of each company's
Accident Prevention Manual.
Routine inspections of the substation should
typically include the following.
(1) Fences
(2) Gates
(3) Padlocks
(4) Signs
(5) Lighting systems
(6) Grounding systems
(7) Fire protection equipment
(8) All oil -filled equipment and their con-
tainment
16
6.4 Hazardous Material. A spill prevention
control and counter-measures plan should be
in place for all oil -filled equipment and
should meet governmental agency require-
ments.

Dear Mr. Carney,
This letter is to inform you that we are adamantly opposed to an electric substation being
constructed on Colonel Glenn Road. We feel that it would be detrimental to our quality
of life and would certainly decrease the value of our property.
We would appreciate you doing whatever you can to keep this from happening. We
thank you in advance for your efforts on our behalf.

I am a licensed commercial and residential real estate broker as well as
a licensed residential builder.
Howard and Sue Ann Stephens are friends and business associates of mine
with whom I have known and done business with for over thirty years. I
have been a guest in their home on Col. Glenn Road and am familiar with
their property.
In my opinion, it would be an injustice and create a severe financial
burden on them to place an electrical substation in sight of their property.
The property values in the entire area are sure to severely decline as a
result.
Whether true or not, I personally lost a sale a few years ago near a
substation because the couple wanting to buy said that those big wires
overhead caused cancer and other health problems.
I strongly oppose this type zoning for this location.
Thank you for your consideration

Little Rock Planning Commission,
This letter is in reference to the Entergy substation being proposed for the Col. Glenn Rd
site. This is an unsolicited response as we have not been contacted by any person or
agency associated with either Entergy or the City of Little Rock. We request to be added
to the contact and interested party list.
Lacking any information about the site and design of this substation Crystal Fire
Protection District will err on the side of the residents living in that area and take the
position of being against the approval of this site. If and when we see a comprehensive
plan of this site including risks the residents would be exposed to if anything were to
happen at this site to cause a major incident, we could reevaluate our position. We
understand that these sites are relatively safe but we have to plan for the unexpected.
Would it not be better to locate this site in an area where there are no residents within any
possible hazard zone?
Some of the things we would like to see include a disaster response plan from Entergy, a
list, including amounts, of the types of firefighting materials that would be required based
on the equipment being utilized at the site, and any plans for a containment area for any
oils or other liquids that might be released in the event of a major incident, including run
off from water and foam applications to extinguish a fire. There is a creek running
through this area and also a pond very near. These would have to be protected from run
off. Another area of concern is the gas line that runs under some of this area. We would
consider this a HAZMAT incident and as such would call in the Pulaski County Hazmat
Team to assist.
Crystal Fire Protection District wants to work with all the involved parties to reach a safe
and equitable solution, but until we have more information about this site and its possible
risks, we assume the position of being opposed to this site being built at this location.

Mr. Carney,
I am writing you concerning your plan to help Entergy purchase a piece of property on Col.
Glenn with intentions of building a electrical sub station in my neighborhood. This plan doesn't
seem like a safe one. You're talking about building a hazardous commercial facility in the middle
of a residential neighborhood with no concern of the residents. The plan of building it 300 feet fr
upstream from my home in a flood plane terrorizes me..Entergy's plan is to build the ground up a
little to make up for being in the flood plane. But this property in on top of a natural spring, the
ground is not stable. This is a residential neighborhood.These sub stations are very dangerous and
have exploded many times around over the country, several people were killed in Baxter county a
little over a year ago from a sub station explosion. Reports of these explosions confirms debris
projected hundreds of feet around the facility. One resident said it sound like WW II, and was
glad his children weren't playing in the yard. I have veiwed other sub stations around Little Rock
and was shocked by the noise and lights. None of these are built in residential neighborhoods.
Engerty has not built a sub station in Little Rock in over 20 years. There are several other places
on their high tension lines that would not affect residentual neighborhoods. These sub stations
are designed to send power to other regions, not in our county, or even our state. Should Entergy
have the right to destroy our neighborhood, our property value and endanger our lives? In my
opinion this is a " bad plan " This should not even be considered.

Dear Mr. Carney:
My husband and I live at 14031 Colonel Glenn Road in Little Rock
and we have lived in this house for many years. I hear that Entergy would
like to put an electric substation behind our house. My husband and I are
both in very fragile health and do not want anything built near us that will
injure our health or change our pattern of living or sleeping. We enjoy our
yard when we feed like sitting outside we would not want to hear any
noise from machines. When we look up at the night sky we only see the
stars and moon and do not want any lights of any sort to interfere.
This is very scary to us because we have read of explosions and fire at these
Substations, most recently one near Mt. Home Arkansas killed 3 men.
It would be something else for us worry about. Our granddaughter and her
daughter live with us and I do not want anything around us but the quiet
neighborhood as it is now. Please do not give me more worries.
Sincerely,
"and mie McNair

Dear Mr. Carney:
February 8, 2006
This letter is regarding a request by Entergy for a conditional use permit to build an .
electric substation on, Colonel Glenn road just a short distance from our home. My
family and I have been at this address for over 30 years. This is one of the prettiest areas
in all of Little Rock or maybe even Pulaski County. There is usually never any property
for sale within a few miles of us because people move in, make improvements and stay.
Many families, like us, stay for 30 years, and some stay their entire lifetime.
Please don't consider allowing anyone for any reason to come in and destroy this area.
Changes to the landscape are never repaired or put back to its original beauty once man
comes in with his machinery and begins to tear it down. I suggest that the Little Rock
Planning Commissioners should be able to study the topography and suggest a less
intrusive and visible location for the proposed substation. We recognize this as one
small area that remains almost untouched. In the Spring and Summertime the leaves on
the trees hang out to cool the road along the valley and the sweet smell of honeysuckle
permeates the air --day and night. Changing the environment to one with 60 cycle low
hum electromagnetic radiation could be in my opinion physically harmful to these
families.
Please say "NO" to the request by Entergy. There are a lot of places that have already
been corrupted and would not even notice another man made monstrosity moving in
around them.

Dear Sir,
We are writing concerning the 3.2 acres that Entergy is attempting to purchase on
Colonel Glenn Road for the construction of a power sub station.
We are absolutely in opposition to this preposterous idea of a power sub station in our
back yard as it would ruin everything that we have worked for up to this point in our life.
A power sub station does not belong in a neighborhood. Even though we are not large in
numbers we are still a neighborhood. I saved for years to be able to financially own land
and a home in the country. I wanted to be able to sit on my back deck and enjoy the
peacefulness and quietness that living in the country brings.
Entergy does not realize what they are asking. From my back deck I see empty pastures.
We have watched a mother fox raise her babies, not once but three times. We have
watched a mother hawk teach her young to fly. There is a family of deer that runs those
pastures. These are the reasons I wanted to live in the country. At night I can sit on my
back deck in the pitch black and see the moon and stars. This is my peace of heaven and
I am asking you to consider what you will be taking from our neighbors and us. If
Entergy is allowed to build this sub station then from my back deck and bay window I
will see the big gray monster. My peace and quite will be gone and instead of listening to
the birds sing I will here the loud humming of the transformers. Not only would my wild
life be gone but also it will destroy the "beauty" and "character" of what we call home.
There are so many alternate building sites that Entergy could build a power station. At
many of these locations there are no homes within miles. I know there is probably a need
for more power stations but why can't the ones that are already in place be updated and
improved. Entergy should not be allowed to disrupt a residential area. This sub station
would be an eyesore, a health and safety hazard. Homes in the city are not allowed to
become an eyesore. When I lived in town I was building a privacy fence and the city code
inspector gave me 30 days to move lumber that I had stacked up beside my house "very
neat" to the back yard so it could not be seen from the road. I have pictures of every sub
station in Little Rock. There is no beauty about these sub stations at all. They belong in a
commercial area. If Entergy thinks there might be a need for sub stations in the country
then they should be forced to plan ahead and buy property that is not developed with
homes, and the property should be posted that it could possibly be a future site for a sub
station. No one would buy land to build their dream house if they knew there was a
chance of a sub station being in their back yard.
I beg you to say no to this proposal. It will destroy the value of my property. The land
behind my property is in a flood zone. There is a natural spring that flows beside my
property and Entergy stated that they would have to build the land up and put in a mote
around the sub station. When they close that spring off then my property will flood. At
least once a year the creek runs over into the back of my property washing away the grass
and leaves a rock bed of sifes and fines. Please consider the impact that this sub station
would have on us all. Our homes are our greatest asset. Please say no to this proposal and
let us live, as we have grown accustomed to in this beauty that God has allowed us to
enjoy.
Respectfully,
