NV Energy transmission lines

Raised concerns that the presented photos omit bird flight diverters (ballastes), LED lighting for aircraft, and protections for migratory birds including eagles, and questioned compensation to private property owners.

Asked about decommissioning temporary roads, weed control, highway 50 accident risk, weekend dust control, and the drainage master plan.

Asked how many years the area would be monitored after construction.

Concerned the lines are too close to the school and asked whether the California Trails monument would be disturbed.

Asked about mitigation for EMFs and reduced property values.

Said she was told the lines would 'blend in' and questioned it, and challenged claims the lines aren't for data centers, citing reporting that the substation and Greenlink are designed for large-scale consumers.

Confused by the line routing on coarse BLM maps — 16 of 26 affected parcels are in Stagecoach — worried about a home ~250 feet from the line whose owner wasn't contacted, and asked for conditions requiring operations to stop if CUP violations harm neighbors like the laydown yard dust did.

Respectfully asked the board to deny or postpone the Greenlink CUP until all studies, agency reviews and public information are complete — saying once built, the impacts can't be undone.

Asked about visual impacts to the west side of Fort Churchill State Park, a historical area; the applicant pointed to the BLM EIS photo simulations and mitigation measures.

Urged denial or delay, citing permanent changes to land and wildlife migration, property value reductions, and the lasting groundwater legacy of the Anaconda mine near Yerington.

Questioned NV Energy's transparency, why the full Greenlink map wasn't in the packet, and claimed BLM approvals were improper and staff act as unwitting lobbyists.

Asked where the proposed reroute north of Highway 50 is planned; staff clarified this CUP covers only the south side and a future amendment will address the north.

Called it the most incomplete application he'd seen and asked commissioners to visit and photograph the affected private properties before proceeding.

Noted 16 of 26 parcels are in Stagecoach with nearly 500 feet of combined corridors, criticized the broad-scale maps, raised flooding and dust concerns, and said the existing NV Energy laydown yard has ignored permit violations.
