7 Construction Activities Implodes: this activity involves a high energy charge that fuses the conductor (wire) and makes a loud but brief noise. Manitoba Hydro will notify local residents if these activities occur; and Decommissioning: one transmission line will be disassembled and removed from the right-of-way.

8 Safety Limit road closures to ensure public safety; Cranes, trucks and track hoes will be present in the construction area; Public access is not permitted during construction.
