These are well known cancer risks. The Realtors Association estimates a 30-40% drop in home values in areas where high tension power lines run through them. Leukemia rates can be 50 times higher for children living under them.

A project is being approved right now, so time is running out for people in the areas affected to take action.

Document 0003 will show the transmission line path being projected. 0001 has the actual map.

Start selling your home before they start on this in a couple years or better yet, fight it and get the project shut down. I find it AMAZING they'd WASTE MONEY on a project like this when populations are DROPPING proving existing systems are vastly more than enough! Yet another pork barrel waste of money.

I looked at those links and the plans look like they are for lines that are going to run 3' underground.

Good point, but I think there are above ground and underground spans of it. Wonder how big the EMF field is underground for them? I know over the air ones can have EMF fields that extend for 100's of yards.

I don't think I would want those underground though, as I hardly thing 3' would be enough buffer for their EMF unless they are putting in some serious shielding.
