Title: Incorporate standard raptor proofing
Text: 1.3 Committed Protection Measures: Bald Eagle: "Standard raptor proofing designs as outlined in Mitigating Bird Collision with Powerlines (Avian Powerline Interaction Committee [APLIC] 1994) would be incorporated into the design of the proposed powerline to prevent collision to foraging and migrating raptors. Standard, safe designs as outlined in Suggested Practice for Raptor Protection on Powerlines (APLIC 1996) would be incorporated into the design of the proposed powerline in areas of identified avian concern to prevent electrocution of raptor species attempting to perch on the power poles and lines. These measures would include, but would not be limited to, a 60 inch separation between conductors and/or grounded hardware and recommended use of insulating materials and other applicable measures depending on line configuration."
