FortisBC is requesting authorization in the form of a Statutory Right of Way for an existing transmission line in the vicinity of Trout Creek. The Crown lands affected by this application are part of the former KVR Railway right of way and Trout Creek.

It is also noted as forming part of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail.

The transmission line under application parallels the trailrailway, to the north side of the trestle, and crosses the Trout Creek channel (aerial crossing only of the creek channel).
