*UPDATED Information on the POTENTIAL 765 kV TRANSMISSION LINE DEVELOPMENT through Vernon County*
Town of Harmony Resolution on the Dairyland Power 765v Transmission Line
765 kV MAP AVAILABLE:
CLOSE-UP VIEWS OF “BECI" 765 kV TRANSMISSION CORRIDOR OPTIONS IN RICHLAND SAUK & COLUMBIA COUNTIES:
Zoom in on land parcels in vicinity of existing 69 kV, 138 kV and 161 kV transmission lines in Richland, Sauk and Columbia Counties. “BECI” is the working acronym/name for the massive, unprecedented 765 kV transmission proposal expected to be publicly announced in the near future by out of state transmission developer, TRANSOURCE LLC. The line requiring 150-200’ tall towers and 250’ wide corridors would ostensibly connect with Dairyland Power’s 765 kV 'Maribell’ facility in Bell Center (Crawford Co.) and transverse the state through Richland, Sauk, Columbia, Dane, Jefferson, Walworth and Rock counties. The interactive map focuses on existing transmission lines, the number one priority in siting new transmission lines under Wisconsin Statute 1.12(6).
What can you do to help stop this unnecessary and wasteful utility expansion?
Opposition outreach is focusing on informing unaware landowners with an existing transmission line on their property that the transmission developer may be considering for 765 kV transmission expansion. If you live in Richland, Sauk, or Columbia County and would like to help inform and mobilize your neighboring landowners, contact no765line@gmail.com and let us know what Town you are located in. Detailed maps can be provided with the names of the potentially impacted land owners in your Town for distribution by mail or for handing out at your town recycling center.
Other ACTIONS to consider.

BadAxe Watershed Group
The Bad Axe Watershed Group is working with the local townships in the area of the Bad Axe watershed. We are sharing information to these townships for their websites, such as information on farmer and landowner led groups about the educational programs and practices to prevent soil erosion and provide cleaner streams and rivers - helping to encourage landowners to join the group and engage in these conservation practices.
The Bad Axe River flows into the Mississippi River at Genoa, Wisconsin. We are in contact with the Genoa National Fish Hatchery and held a meeting there and toured the facilities in February. This hatchery holds and rears fifteen species of fish, fifteen freshwater mussels, Hine's, Emerald Dragonfly larva, and Mudpuppy salamander. We are happy to share our mission with the personnel of the fish hatchery for negating runoff and erosion for a clearer, cleaner environment for aquatic life.
If you would like more information about the Watershed Group, contact Carolyn Parr at cparr.785@gmail.com or 608-632-0820.
Harmony History
The following is taken from the History of Vernon County, Wisconsin. published in 1884.
"This township, known as town 15 north, range 6 west, was the sixth one organized in Vernon county. It comprises forty full sections and four half sections, of land containing in all 26,880 acres, or 3,840 more than a full congressional town. The land is mostly owned by residents, who have strenuously endeavored to cultivate and improve it and in comparison with other town in the county, will prove that their efforts have not been in vain. The United States government still owns and controls about 806 acres of land in the town. Only one stream of any note flows through the town, lending fresh life and strength to the already fertile soil. This is the North Bad Ax river, which enters the town in the eastern part on section 24 and takes a westerly course through sections 23, 22, 21, 20 and 19, making a sudden turn on the latter, and flowing southerly through sections 30 and 31. It leaves the town on the southwest quarter of the latter section. This stream is well fed by numerous tributaries, flowing from all parts of the town. Good springs are also plentiful and supply pure, fresh water for drinking and cooking purposes."
