Proposed line routes (A & B)
Description of routes
The connection point of the supply line is on the 120-kV line between High Falls and Notre-Dame-du-Laus (circuit 1123) substations in Val-des-Bois, southwest of La Lièvre substation.
Both routes circumvent the white-tailed deer yard and cross an agroforestry area over a similar distance. The line is more visible along route A than route B in the L’Escalier reservoir, Chemin de la Savane and Chemin du Marais and Route 307 sectors.
The proposed line routes were developed based on these criteria:
- shortest and most direct route
- no steep slopes
- avoidance of large bodies of water
- avoidance of the white-tailed deer yard
- optimal integration of the line into the landscape
- distance from populated areas and farm buildings
- no territory fragmentation
- avoidance of wetlands and tapped sugar bushes as much as possible

The line heads southwest, crosses Rivière du Lièvre downstream of High Falls generating station, runs above the private line (black dotted line) and then goes westward along the administrative boundary between Papineau and Collines-de-l’Outaouais MRCs and an extensive white-tailed deer yard. It then turns 90 degrees due south over Chemin de la Savane to the west side of the future substation.avoidance of wetlands and tapped sugar bushes as much as possible |
For the first 2.2 km, route B is identical to route A, up to about halfway along the administrative boundary between the MRCs. Then, the line turns 90-degrees toward the south, runs between Lac Central and Lac du Brochet and heads west to cross Chemin de la Savane up to the north side of the future substation. |

Route A runs approximately 5.1 km. In summary, this route:
