DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[OE Docket No. PP–400] 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

To Conduct Public Scoping Meetings, 

and Notice of Floodplains and 

Wetlands Involvement; New England 

Clean Power Link Project 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) announces its intent to prepare 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS) to assess the potential 

environmental impacts from its 

proposed federal action of granting a 

Presidential permit to Champlain VT, 

LLC, doing business as TDI-New 

England (TDI–NE; the Applicant), to 

construct, operate, maintain, and 

connect a new electric transmission line 

across the U.S.-Canada border in 

northern Vermont. The New England 

Clean Power Link Environmental Impact 

Statement (DOE/EIS–0503) will address 

potential environmental impacts from 

the proposed action and reasonable 

alternatives. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE)—New England District, the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA)—Region 1 (New England), and 

the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) are 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the EIS. The purpose of this Notice 

of Intent (NOI) is to inform the public 

about the proposed action, announce 

public scoping meetings, and solicit 

public comments regarding the scope of 

the EIS. Because the proposed project 

would involve actions in floodplains 

and wetlands, in accordance with DOE 

regulations, the EIS will include a 

floodplain and wetland assessment. 

DATES: The public scoping period starts 

with the publication of this Notice in 

the Federal Register and will continue 

until October 10, 2014. Written and oral 

comments will be given equal weight, 

and DOE will consider all comments 

submitted or postmarked by October 10, 

2014 in defining the scope of this EIS. 

Comments submitted or postmarked 

after that date will be considered to the 

extent practicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive 

Order (E.O.) 10485, as amended by E.O. 

12038, requires that a Presidential 

permit be issued by DOE before electric 

transmission facilities may be 

constructed, operated, maintained, or 

connected at the U.S. international 

border. The E.O. provides that a 

Presidential permit may be issued after 

a finding that the proposed project is 

consistent with the public interest and 

after favorable recommendations from 

the U.S. Departments of State and 

Defense. In determining consistency 

with the public interest, DOE considers 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the proposed project pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
50902 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 165 / Tuesday, August 26, 2014 / Notices 

(NEPA), determines the project’s impact 

on electric reliability (including 

whether the proposed project would 

adversely affect the operation of the U.S. 

electric power supply system under 

normal and contingency conditions), 

and considers any other factors that 

DOE may find relevant to the public 

interest. The regulations implementing 

the E.O. have been codified at 10 CFR 

Part 205. DOE’s issuance of a 

Presidential permit indicates that there 

is no federal objection to the project, but 

does not mandate that the project be 

undertaken. 

TDI–NE applied on May 20, 2014, to 

DOE’s Office of Electricity Delivery and 

Energy Reliability (OE) for a Presidential 

permit to construct, operate, maintain, 

and connect an electric transmission 

line across the U.S.-Canada border in 

northern Vermont. The proposed 

project, the New England Clean Power 

Link (NECPL), is a high voltage direct 

current (HVDC) electric transmission 

line with an operating voltage of +/ 

¥300 to 320 kilovolts (kV). The project 

would be constructed in both aquatic 

(underwater) and terrestrial 

(underground) environments. 

As proposed, the NECPL project 

would have a transfer rating of 1,000 

megawatts (MW). The proposed project 

would originate in the Canadian 

province of Quebec, cross the border in 

Alburgh, Vermont, and terminate at the 

existing Coolidge Substation in the 

towns of Ludlow and Cavendish, 

Vermont. The total length of the 

proposed project from the U.S. border to 

the Coolidge Substation is 

approximately 154.1 miles (248 km). 

The proposed route is described in more 

detail below, under Applicant’s 

Proposal. 

The NECPL Presidential permit 

application, including associated maps 

and drawings, can be viewed or 

downloaded in its entirety from the OE 

program Web site at: http://energy.gov/ 

oe/services/electricity-policycoordination-and-implementation/ 

international-electricity-regulatio-2. The 

July 9, 2014, Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Application (79 FR 38869) is 

also available at this same Web site. 

The proposed federal action is the 

granting of the Presidential permit for 

the international border crossing. The 

proposed construction, operation, 

maintenance, and connection of the 

portion of the transmission line within 

the United States are connected actions 

to DOE’s proposed action. DOE will 

analyze potential environmental 

impacts from the proposed federal 

action and the connected actions in the 

EIS. The EIS will be prepared in 

accordance with NEPA as amended (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), 

and the DOE NEPA implementing 

procedures (10 CFR Part 1021). Because 

the proposed project may involve 

actions in floodplains and wetlands, in 

accordance with 10 CFR Part 1022, 

Compliance with Floodplain and 

Wetland Environmental Review 

Requirements, the EIS will include a 

floodplain and wetland assessment. 

DOE will include a floodplain statement 

of findings in the Record of Decision. 

DOE invites Tribal governments and 

federal, state, and local agencies with 

jurisdiction by law or special expertise 

with respect to environmental issues to 

be cooperating agencies in the 

preparation of the EIS, as defined at 40 

CFR 1501.6. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(USACE), New England District, is a 

cooperating agency on this EIS. A 

Department of the Army permit is 

expected to be required for proposed 

discharges of dredged or fill material 

into waters of the United States, 

including wetlands, under Section 404 

of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), 

and also for proposed crossing(s) of 

navigable waterways under Section 10 

of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 U.S.C. 

403). TDI–NE will apply to the USACE 

for the required Department of the Army 

permits. EPA Region 1 and the USCG 

are cooperating agencies due to their 

special expertise related to the proposed 

action. 

Applicant’s Proposal 

TDI–NE describes its proposed route 

for the Project in terms of two segments, 

the Lake Champlain Segment and the 

Overland Segment. The U.S. portion of 

the proposed project is entirely within 

the State of Vermont. 

The Lake Champlain segment would 

begin in Vermont at the U.S.-Canada 

border. The HVDC transmission line 

would be located underground within 

the Town of Alburgh, VT, for 

approximately 0.5 miles (0.8 km). The 

HVDC transmission line would then 

enter Lake Champlain via horizontal 

directional drilling (HDD) on privatelyowned property, and the transmission 

line would be buried in the bed of Lake 

Champlain, or placed on the bottom of 

the lake at lake depths of 150 feet (46 

m) or more. The total distance through 

the lake is approximately 97.6 miles 

(157.1 km), entirely within the 

jurisdictional waters of the State of 

Vermont. 

The Overland Segment would begin at 

the southern end of Lake Champlain in 

the Town of Benson where the HVDC 

transmission line would exit the water, 

via HDD installation on privately-owned 

property. The cables would be buried 

within the rights-of-way (ROW) of town 

roads east for approximately 4.4 miles 

(7.1 km) to Route 22A and then travel 

south within the Route 22A ROW for 

approximately 8.1 miles (13.0 km) to 

Route 4 in the Town of Fair Haven. The 

cables would be buried within the Route 

4 ROW east for approximately 17.2 

miles (27.7 km) to Route 7 in the Town 

of Rutland before travelling south 

buried within the Route 7 ROW for 

approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km) to 

Route 103 in the Town of North 

Clarendon. Within the Route 103 ROW 

the cables would be buried for 

approximately 17.8 miles (28.6 km) 

south by southeast to Route 100 in the 

Town of Ludlow where the cables 

would be buried for approximately 0.8 

miles (1.3 km) in the Route 100 ROW to 

connect with Town of Ludlow roads. 

The cables would be buried for 

approximately 4.8 miles (7.6 km) before 

terminating at the proposed HVDC 

converter station. Underground singlecircuit 345–kV AC cables would be 

installed for approximately 0.3 miles (.5 

km) to the south to connect the 

proposed HVDC converter station with 

the existing Coolidge Substation, which 

connects to the electric grid. The 

Applicant represents that the Project’s 

precise final route would be subject to 

a number of factors, including resource 

issues, federal and state permitting, land 

acquisition, and stakeholder input. 

In addition to the proposed route, 

TDI–NE’s Presidential permit 

application describes four segment 

alternatives that it considered but 

decided not to incorporate into its 

proposed route. These include one 

alternative for the Lake Champlain 

segment and three alternatives for the 

overland segment (i.e., from Lake 

Champlain to the proposed HVDC 

converter station). 

The alternative considered by TDI–NE 

for the Lake Champlain segment would 

have overlapped the proposed route 

within the lake and then proceeded for 

an additional 3 miles (4.8 km) south in 

Lake Champlain to exit the lake via 

HDD in the Town of West Haven, rather 

than Benson. The routing would 

proceed east through West Haven 

undergrounded along local roads (Cold 

Spring Road, Pettis Road, and Main 

Street) for approximately 8 miles (12.9 

km) before transferring to the Route 22A 

ROW. At this point the alternative 

would continue south in the Route 22A 

ROW, approximately 3.4 miles (5.6 km) 

to the Town of Fair Haven. 

The three Overland segment 

alternatives included a Western 

Segment alternative whereby the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 165 / Tuesday, August 26, 2014 / Notices 50903 

transmission cables would exit Route 4 

at the intersection with Route 4A and 

would travel along Route 4A and then 

a railroad ROW to the Town of West 

Rutland for a distance of 13 miles (20.9 

km). The route would then re-enter 

Route 4 and continue along the 

proposed route to the proposed 

converter station location. Additionally, 

there were two Eastern Segment 

alternatives that considered routing the 

cables: (1) within the railroad ROW in 

the Town of North Clarendon and travel 

south, then east, to Route 103 in Ludlow 

for a distance of 23.3 miles (37.5 km), 

at which point it would overlap again 

with the proposed route to reach the 

proposed HVDC converter station 

location in 7.5 miles (12.1 km); or (2) in 

the Vermont Electric Power Company 

ROW beginning in West Rutland for 

approximately 24 miles (38.6) to the 

proposed HVDC converter station 

location. 

Agency Purpose and Need, Proposed 

Action, and Alternatives 

DOE’s proposed action is to grant a 

Presidential permit to TDI–NE to 

construct, operate, maintain, and 

connect a new electric transmission line 

across the U.S.-Canada border near 

Alburgh, Vermont. The New England 

Clean Power Link Transmission Line 

Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/ 

EIS–0503) will address potential 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed action and the range of 

reasonable alternatives. The purpose 

and need for DOE’s action is to decide 

whether to grant TDI–NE a Presidential 

permit. DOE’s decision will be based on 

the NEPA review, the impact of the 

proposed action on electric reliability, 

and any other factors that DOE may find 

relevant to the public interest. 

Under the Proposed Action, DOE 

would grant a Presidential permit to 

TDI–NE to construct, operate, maintain, 

and connect a new electric transmission 

line across the U.S.-Canada border in 

northern Vermont. 

Under the No Action alternative, DOE 

would not grant a Presidential permit 

for the proposed project. Under the No 

Action alternative, the EIS assumes for 

purposes of analysis that the proposed 

line and associated facilities would not 

be constructed. 

Identification of Environmental Issues 

The EIS will examine potential public 

health and safety effects and 

environmental impacts in the U.S. from 

the proposed transmission facilities. 

This notice is intended to inform 

agencies and the public of the proposed 

project, and to solicit comments and 

suggestions for consideration in the 

preparation of the EIS. To help the 

public frame its comments, the 

following is a list of examples of several 

potential environmental issues that DOE 

has identified for analysis: 

1. Protected, threatened, endangered, 

or sensitive species of animals or plants, 

or their critical habitats: The EIS will 

consider the potential effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

project on protected or candidate 

species, including but not limited to the 

Indiana bat, dwarf wedgemussel, and 

Northeastern bulrush (federally listed 

endangered species) and northern longeared bat (proposed federally listed 

endangered species as of June 30, 2014). 

2. Biological resources: The EIS will 

consider the potential effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

project on fish and shellfish, insects, 

birds and other wildlife, as well as 

effects on forests, shrubland, wetland, 

and grassland plant species, and the 

potential for introduction of invasive 

species. 

3. Floodplains and wetlands: The EIS 

will consider the potential effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

project on floodplains and wetlands, 

including those associated with lowland 

forest type vegetation. 

4. Cultural or historic resources: The 

EIS will consider the potential effects of 

the construction and operation of the 

project on archeological, architectural, 

and Traditional Cultural Properties (i.e., 

properties of religious and cultural 

importance), National Historic 

Landmarks, historic properties currently 

listed and potentially eligible for listing 

on the National Register of Historic 

Places, prehistoric sites, and cultural 

landscape. 

5. Human health and safety: The EIS 

will consider the nature and potential 

effects of electric and magnetic fields 

that may be generated by the operation 

of the project. 

6. Air quality: The EIS will consider 

the potential effects of the construction 

and operation of the project on air 

quality, including the emission and 

effects of greenhouse gases such as 

carbon dioxide. 

7. Soil: The EIS will consider the 

potential effects of the construction and 

operation of the project on the loss or 

disturbance of soils. 

8. Water resources: The EIS will 

consider the potential effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

project on a diverse set of water 

resource types that are found 

throughout the proposed project area 

including, but not limited to, major 

watersheds, public water inventory 

watercourses and basins, groundwater, 

and impaired water bodies. 

9. Land use: The EIS will consider the 

potential effects of the installation and 

operation of the project on land uses, 

including agricultural lands, parks, 

recreational areas, and other public 

lands. 

10. Noise: The EIS will consider the 

potential effects of the installation and 

operation of the project on noise levels 

at locations along the proposed line as 

well as at the location of the proposed 

HVDC converter station in Ludlow. 

11. Socioeconomics: The EIS will 

consider potential impacts on 

community services and the potential 

for disproportionately high and adverse 

impacts on minority or low-income 

populations. 

This list is not intended to be all 

inclusive or to imply any 

predetermination of impacts. DOE 

invites interested parties to suggest 

specific issues within these general 

categories, or other issues not included 

above, to be considered in the EIS. 

Scoping Process 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in the scoping process, both 

to help define the environmental issues 

to be analyzed and to identify the range 

of reasonable alternatives. DOE invites 

interested agencies, organizations, 

Native American tribes, and members of 

the public to submit comments to assist 

in identifying significant environmental 

issues and in determining the 

appropriate scope of the EIS. Written 

and oral comments will be given equal 

weight. All comments received by DOE 

will be publicly available on the project 

EIS Web site at: http:// 

www.NECPLinkEIs.com. Personally 

identifiable information, other than 

individuals’ names, will be withheld. 

The scoping meetings will be 

structured in two parts: first, a 

‘‘workshop’’ period with presentations 

on the proposed NECPL project, and the 

associated federal decisions, followed 

by informal discussion that will not be 

recorded; and, second, the formal taking 

of comments with transcription by a 

court reporter. The meetings will 

provide interested parties the 

opportunity to view proposed project 

exhibits, ask questions, and make 

comments. The Applicant, DOE, and 

cooperating agency personnel will be 

available to answer questions. 

Persons submitting comments during 

the scoping process, whether orally or 

in writing, will receive either paper or 

electronic copies of the draft EIS, 

according to their preference. Persons 

who do not wish to submit comments or 

suggestions at this time but who would 

like to receive a copy of the draft EIS for 

review and comment when it is issued 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
50904 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 165 / Tuesday, August 26, 2014 / Notices 

should notify Brian Mills as provided 

above, with their paper-or-electronic 

preference. 

EIS Preparation and Schedule 

In preparing the draft EIS, DOE will 

consider comments submitted during 

the scoping period. Comments can be 

submitted to Brian Mills either 

electronically or by paper copy; if the 

latter, consider using a delivery service 

because materials submitted by regular 

mail are subject to security screening, 

which both causes extended delay and 

potential damage to the contents. DOE 

will summarize all comments received 

in a ‘‘Scoping Report’’ that will be 

available on a project EIS Web site, and 

will be distributed either electronically 

to all parties of record or by mailing 

paper copies upon request. DOE expects 

to issue the draft NECPL EIS in April 

2015 and the final EIS in October 2015. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 20, 

2014.
