Substation Civil Design Subcommittee (SCE0) 

Scope: Responsible for treatment of all matters relating to safety, operations and location of transmission and distribution substations as to their effect on personnel and the environment of the adjacent community. Special emphasis shall be made to the factors that must be considered in design safety, fire protection (other?) such as aesthetic treatment, overall visual appearance, erosion control, security, and oil spill containment. Audible noise, electromagnetic interference, and electrical interference shall be considered as far as the zoning acceptance is concerned. The intent of all design considerations is to influence the ultimate acceptance of the substation by the community.
