  Mark Williamson, ATC vice president of major projects, said an underground line has a smaller power-carrying capacity and would cost between $1 billionand $1.5 billion, depending on how much is buried.The price for the above-ground route would be about $200 million, he said.
  
  "That's a dramatic investment for something that won't work as well," said Williamson, who spoke at a WisPolitics.com luncheon at the Madison Club.

  Mark Williamson, vice president of major projects for ATC, said today the company needs more time to take a hard look at power usage forecasts and the potential to bury a part of the new line in sensitive areas,

  "Our analysis shows that overhead facilities are the better option," Mark Williamson, ATC vice president of major projects, said in a statement.
  ...
  Williamson acknowledged in ATC's press release that advances are being made in the technology for burying transmission lines - one argument it has used against burying up to 15 miles of the line - but argued it's still too costly and environmentally invasive."The Beltline is not a justifiable candidate for undergrounding due to higher costs, increased environmental intrusion, and heightened electric system operational risks," he said.
  
  In addition, Williamson said ATC is concerned about the precedent that would be created if lines were buried along the Beltline.

  (MADISON, Wis.) - Putnam Roby Communications (PRc) will become Putnam Roby Williamson Communications on Jan. 1, 2008 when Mark Williamson, American Transmission Company's vice president of major projects, becomes a full partner.
  
  As PRW Communications, the redesigned firm will continue its core mission of providing strategic and crisis communications, media relations, government affairs and creative services to its customers.But with Williamson on board, the company will expand its focus on national energy issues that includes utility infrastructure siting, permitting, public outreach and construction processes.
  
  Williamson, an attorney and Wisconsin native, is looking forward to new opportunities."I've done a tremendous amount of work with Putnam Roby Communications over the years and know they are respected and committed to winning, and they also have a lot of fun navigating the volatile waters of politics and strategic communications," he said.
  ...
  Williamson has spent more than three decades in the utility business and has been associated with ATC since its inception in 2001.One of his crowning accomplishments at ATC was the permitting and construction of the Arrowhead-Weston 345kv transmission line in northwestern Wisconsin, the largest transmission project to be completed in 30 years.
  
  He also has managed external relations for the 100-mile 345kv Gardner Park-Central Wisconsin-Morgan-Werner West project and the 85-mile Cranberry-Conover-Plains project - all currently under construction.Williamson currently is leading the public participation process for the proposed transmission line projects in and around Dane County and will remain active with Dane County projects throughout 2008 as a special consultant to ATC.

  "Even with recent improvements, the transmission system is operating at near maximum capacity," said Mark Williamson, vice president of Major Projects.
  ...
  "The routing analysis for this project has been among the most complex we have ever faced," Williamson said."The input we've received from thousands of written comments and face-to-face discussions with potentially affected landowners, environmental groups, elected officials and community leaders has enabled us to better define project routes in a way that reduces impacts on the community and the environment."
  
  According to Williamson, the company studied engineering and environmental issues, costs, constructability, and landowner impacts to arrive at the final route alternatives that will be subject to regulatory review."At every step, we've gone to the public with updated engineering and environmental maps so that people could weigh in on the plans," he said."The decisions and trade-offs are complex, but they reflect our best effort to balance public input with land use, environmental and other considerations."
  
  In this particular application, ATC will not designate a "preferred" or "recommended" route in its application.Williamson said both routes are viable options, but impact communities and landowners in very different ways, and represent distinct challenges.
  ...
  "We encourage people to continue their involvement as the regulatory process begins and the PSC reviews our proposal," said Williamson.

  Mark Williamson, ATC vice president of major projects, said "2013 will still work and not jeopardize the integrity of the electrical system" because of a slight decline in projections for the area's electricity needs.He added, though, if anything happens to delay the project further, "this timing doesn't give us any slack time."
  ...
  Williamson said he's still convinced the high-voltage line is essential."There's no real hope that the economy or the county's growth is going to slow down enough that you can avoid the need for the power line," he said.
  
  In response to requests by city and county government and the state Public Service Commission, a Chicago engineering firm is studying the feasibility of burying the transmission line, as well as potential routes, Williamson said.ATC is paying the cost, which he said is "a few hundred thousand dollars."The study is expected to be completed in June.
  
  Williamson said he doesn't think burying the line will prove warranted."Undergrounding is generally saved for major urban areas -- downtown New York or Chicago.Not the highway or rural settings around Madison," he said, citing substantially higher costs and traffic problems while construction is underway.
  
  Three potential paths for the high-voltage line will likely be narrowed to two in August, before the expected October filing, Williamson said, and a route along the Beltline is expected to be one of them.
