Note: Sensitivity depends on tree screening, view orientation, presence of existing transmission facilities, and right-of-way clearing.
Identification of environmental constraints will be based on an analysis of the sensitivity of each resource from the introduction of a transmission line or a substation site. Sensitivity is defined as the measure of probable adverse response of each resource to potential direct or indirect effects associated with construction, operation, and maintenance of a transmission line or a substation site. Criteria used to make determinations of environmental sensitivity include the following:
Locations where there are opportunities for the introduction of a transmission line and/or a substation. Siting opportunities generally include areas of low sensitivity and locations in proximity to, or including, existing or planned linear facilities and corridors that have been disturbed previously or designated for future use as utility corridors or industrial use(s). Typically, such opportunities include existing transmission line (44 kV and greater), major transportation corridors (county roads and state highways), pipeline corridors, and railroads that potentially allow for parallel linear facilities.
Considering the criteria described above, the environmental data will be evaluated and assigned a sensitivity level of low, moderate, high, and exclusion as defined below. The lower the sensitivity of a resource, the more compatible it would be for siting a transmission line and substation in a given area.
• RESOURCE VALUE: A measure of rarity, high intrinsic worth, singularity, or diversity of a resource within the area.• PROTECTIVE STATUS: A measure of the formal concern expressed for a resource either through legal protection or by assignment of special status designation.• PRESENT AND FUTURE USE: A measure of the level of conflict based on land-management policies and/or use and may include issues of specific concern to the agencies and public.
EXCLUSION: Areas where legal status would prohibit, or most likely prohibit, the location of transmission or substation facilities. Locations of exclusion areas are considered to be undesirable for location of a transmission line or substation.HIGH SENSITIVITY: Areas determined to be less suitable because of unique, highly valued, complex, historic, or protected resources and significant potential conflict with use, or areas posing substantial hazards to construction and operation of the transmission line and substations. Locations of high sensitivity are considered to be high constraint or least desirable for location of a transmission line or substation.MODERATE-HIGH SENSITIVITY
MODERATE SENSITIVITY: Areas of potential environmental effects on important or valued resources, resources assigned special status, or some conflict with use. Locations of moderate sensitivity are considered to be moderate constraint areas and less desirable for siting a transmission line or substation.LOW-MODERATE SENSITIVITY
LOW SENSITIVITY: Areas where resource conflicts identified through the feasibility study process are minimal. These areas of low sensitivity are considered to be of minimal constraint, or high opportunity, for locating a transmission line or substation, particularly in association with existing transmission line corridors.

These landowners should not be required to bear the brunt of the system for the residential areas that are requiring the biggest electrical load
These areas, unless offered by the landowner, would be detrimentally affected.
1) Low sensitivity/opportunity because it can be spanned2) Very highly sensitive issue
This would be an area that is an infrequent use location, unlike a home.
Compatible use for utility facilities.
