SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Georgia
Transmission Corporation proposes to
construct a 500 kilovolt transmission
line between the Thomson Substation
(located on Hampton-Davis Road, 4
miles east of Thomson, Georgia, and 2
miles northeast of Boneville, Georgia) to
the Warthen Switching Station (located

transmission line is 40 miles. It is
anticipated that this transmission line
would be in service in the spring of
2010.
Alternatives considered by RUS and
