Federal officials have published the draft environmental impact statement for a proposed transmission line meant to carry wind power from Wyoming to California, Arizona and Nevada. The document identifies possible routes for TransWest Express LLC's proposed line, along with potential impacts to the environment, public health and other areas. TransWest has proposed a route from near Sinclair, Wyo., through Colorado and Utah to an area near Boulder City, Nev. Federal officials have identified a somewhat different route that they say will minimize impacts to greater sage grouse and roadless areas in national forests. The public will have 90 days to weigh in. TransWest plans to comment later. A decision is expected in 2014. TransWest is part of The Anschutz Corp. based in Denver.
