Powerline Upgrade Planned for High Fire-Risk Area in Storey County
In a significant move to enhance fire safety, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved a project to upgrade an existing powerline in the Virginia City area of Storey County, Nevada. This initiative aims to reconstruct the aging overhead electrical distribution line with modern, fire-resistant equipment.
The upgrade is particularly crucial as it is situated in a region identified as having a high risk of wildfires. The location also lies within the wildland-urban interface, an area where open spaces managed by the BLM meet the urban development of Virginia City.
Details of this decision can be accessed in the Decision Record available at: Virginia City Power Line Amendment.
