Do electrical transmission towers have negative environmental consequences?

Mill Creek has several near the different testing sites- directly next to Site 3 and Site 5.

These transmission towers seem so unnatural being that they are placed right next to the creek. What different consequences could result in the environment because of their placement so close to an ecozone? 
I discovered a PDF from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin that discusses the environmental impacts. Though it is specifically regarding Wisconsin, not Washington, the information is still very interesting and much of it can be applied to Walla Walla.
