Abstract
A regional assessment of the potential impacts of transmission facilities on the area east of Lake Winnipeg was conducted in order to identify alternative transmission corridors with the emphasis on minimizing the adverse effects on outdoor recreation. A regional resource inventory of the Biotic, Socio-cultural, and Recreational Components of the study area was assembled. Impacts of severe, high, moderate and low were defined and applied to the resource inventory. Four possible corridor routes; --A, B, C and D --were identified at the northern extent of the study area, converging to three just south of the fifty-second parallel; one with its associated trunk line along the east shore of Lake Winnipeg, the other with its associated trunk line along the midline of the study area and the third, along the Manitoba-Ontario border veering southeast to a common exit near the Fort Alexander Indian Reserve. Finally, the corridor on the east shore of Lake Winnipeg and the central corridor converge in the Manigotagan area and exit
the study area near the Fort Alexander Indian Reserve.
