(East River) filed a request for a declaratory ruling as to whether East River is required to have a siting permit per SDCL 49-41B from the Commission for a proposed 115 kV Transmission Line. Specifically, East River requests a ruling on whether a 115 kV transmission line generally running parallel to the road right-of-way and designed to site the poles in two locations, i.e., on the private side and on the public side alongside the road right-of-way line, with the poles located to generally touch the road right-of-way, meets the standard of following section lines, property lines, roads, highways or railroads contained in SDCL 49-41B-2.1(2). East River recently filed applications for two such lines: EL08-010 and EL08-016.
