NEW TOWNSEND SUBSTATION
The new Townsend 500kV Substation would be located five miles south of Townsend, east of State Highway (SH 287) in Broadwater County, Montana. The parcels are currently in pasture. One parcel also contains agricultural outbuildings and a residence, located 1,030 feet southwest of the substation site. Adjacent land use is a mixture of center-pivot irrigation and pasture. The total size of the Townsend substation site would be approximately 80 acres and possibly as much as 100 acres. The substation would not require additional access road construction.
