The current Whitestar line is located in an area that is subject to landslides. In order to reduce the risk of a line failure the LP NF is proposing to relocate the line along existing roads and in an area that can more easily be monitored.
Location
The new line would start at approximately 34° 28’ 20.52” N, 118° 53’ 11.98” W (about 5 ml. north of Fillmore), and extend 3,800 feet in length to the Hansen/Whitestar Facility.
