SCL Overhead Creston-Talbot Fiber Project
Variance from Undergrounding Utility Line Submittal
Dear Mr. Sorensen,
Seattle City Light (SCL) is proposing to install a 5-mile installation of new overhead all-dielectric self-supporting
(ADSS) fiber optic cable between Creston Nelson and Talbot Hill substations near Renton, Washington.
Approximately 2.5 miles of the new line are within the City of Renton. The proposed ADSS cable would be
installed on existing transmission power line structures within the existing transmission corridor between the
two substations. This new ADSS cable would provide a vital data communication link for SCL’s current and future
needs, along with the needs of neighboring utilities. HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) is providing engineering and
permitting services to SCL for this project.
HDR staff attended a Pre-Application Meeting (PRE15-000517) with the City of Renton on July 23, 2015.
