3.3 hazardous material: Any material that has been so designated by governmental agencies or adversely impactshuman health or the environment.
3.4 industrial zone: A zone that includes manufacturing plants where fabrication or original manufacturing is done.
as defined by local ordinances.
3.5 noise: Undesirable sound emissions or undesirable electromagnetic signals/emissions
3.6 residential zone: A zone that includes single-family and multi-family residential units, as defined by localordinances.
3.7 wetlands: Any land that has been so designated by governmental agencies. Characteristically, such land containsvegetation associated with saturated types of soil.
4. Planning strategies and design
A project to successfully design. construct, and operate a substation begins with proper planning. The substation’location and proximity to wetlands, other sensitive areas, and contaminated soils: its aesthetic impact; and the concernsof nearby residents over noise and electric and magnetic fields (EMF) can significantly impact the ability to achievecommunity acceptance and environmental compatibility. Public perceptions and attitudes toward both real andpercelved issues can affect the ability to obtain all necessary approvals and permits
These issues can be addressed through presentations to the governmental officials and the public. Deciding on thelocation of the site and where to place equipment on that site, inspections of the proposed site for potentiaenvironmental problems, and measurement of ambient noise and EMF levels are some of the steps that can be initiatedearly in the project Failure to obtain community acceptance can delay the schedule or, in the extreme, stop a projectcompletely
4.1 Site location, selection, and preparation
4.1.1 Site location and selection
The station location (especially for new substations) has increasingly become a key factor in determining the successof any substation project. Initially, the site location will be selected based on developing electrical loads, the proximityof nearby electric transmission and distribution lines, costs, accessibility, and consultation with governmentalagencies. In recent years, a number of major projects have been delayed or blocked by public opposition. In someinstances, substations have been built but never used.
The final site location may ultimately depend upon the ability of the user to successfully satisfy the public and resolvepotential community acceplance and environmental compatibility concerns. lf the user determines it is prudent toinvolve the public in the decision-making process of site selection, a proactive public involvement program should bedeveloped and implemented. The best site location, and placement of the substation on that site are influenced byseveral factors.includine but not limited to the following!
