I know it took my local utility about 5 years just to run about 30 miles of HV wire from me seeing "announcment of public commentary" -> studies -> "final notice of commentary on route" -> building starts. The building itself took about 6 months, as it ran along a road I travel a lot. That's a long time for 30 miles of HV towers.
- adrianN 3y agoOh, I thought you wanted to tell an anecdote about a fast project. Five years sound very quick to me.
- sergiomattei 3y agoFive years is light speed in terms of public works! I felt the same way.

- bobthepanda 3y agoI'm ignorant of how this works, but aren't tribal nations exempt from at least state and local regs?
- deaddodo 3y agoSovereign (as not all are considered such) tribal lands are dictated solely by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (and Congress, obviously, as the institution granting that authority). In practice, unless something goes heavily against Federal interests (illicit drug production/trade, for instance), it is regulated by the nation ("tribe") alone.
- sterlind 3y agoso there are reservations that don't have tribal sovereignty? or did you mean off-rez holdings, or federally unrecognized tribes?
- deaddodo 3y agoThere are recognized tribes without recognized lands. There are federally unrecognized tribes. And there are properties of tribal institutions that do not fall on sovereign land. So the easiest answer is: "yes"/"all of the above"
