"One project under consideration by RUS is loan funding for the construction of an electric power transmission line by the Central Electric Power Cooperative Inc (CEPCI) from existing power sources to a new Berkely Electric substation near the town of McClellanville, SC. The need for additional reliable power and alrenative means to provide that power are discussed in a separate accompanying report - the Alternative Evaluation Study... This macro-corridor study was conducted to determine what potential transmission line routing options were available for the McClellanville line, and in general terms, how they might be planned to avoid potential environmental, social, cultural, and economic effects. The results and findings of this report will serve as the foundation upon which a more detailed NEPA analysis will be conducted. For this study, three originating points from the transmission line - Charity, Jamestown, and Winyah/Belle Isle, and a single destination point - a proposed substation in McClellanville, were considered." - pg. 1-2.
