The Ottawa National Forest is proposing the 2025 WE Energies Cisco Lake Phase III Project on the Watersmeet Ranger Districts, for which they are seeking input. The proposed action would result in the issue of special use authorization for energy providers to construct and maintain Distribution Power Lines to provide safe and reliable electricity to the public.
WE Energies is proposing to construct and maintain six wooden power poles and electrical powerlines along Old US2, west of Watersmeet to their project goals. This project proposes the removal of approximately 275 trees. The project area is not located within Lac Vieux Desert -L’Anse Trail Corridor or the Wild and Scenic River Corridors. The project area is about 1,320 feet in length by 20 feet wide for approximately 0.60 acres in total.
If you would like to submit comments on this project, please contact the USDA at the information provided in the attached letter.
