DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Western Area Power Administration 

[DOE/EIS–0483] 

Estes to Flatiron Substation 

Transmission Lines Rebuild Project, 

Larimer County, CO 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and To 

Conduct Scoping Meetings; Notice of 

Floodplain and Wetlands Involvement. 

SUMMARY: Western Area Power 

Administration currently owns and 

operates two 115-kilovolt transmission 

lines on two separate rights-of-way 

(ROW) located between Flatiron 

Reservoir (near Loveland, Colorado) and 

the town of Estes Park, Colorado. Each 

transmission line is approximately 16 

miles long. Western is proposing to 

remove one transmission line and 

abandon the ROW. The remaining 

transmission line would be rebuilt along 

the existing ROW with taller steel 

monopoles and would be doublecircuited (i.e., six conductors per pole). 

Western determined that an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) is 

the appropriate level of NEPA review. 

Therefore, Western will prepare an EIS 

on its proposal to upgrade and co-locate 

two existing separate transmission lines 

on a double-circuit transmission line on 

one ROW in accordance with NEPA, the 

DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures, 

and the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) regulations for 

implementing NEPA. Portions of 

Western’s proposal may affect 

floodplains and wetlands, so this Notice 

of Intent (NOI) also serves as a notice of 

proposed floodplain or wetland action 

in accordance with DOE floodplain and 

wetland environmental review 

requirements. 

DATES: This notice initiates a 90-day 

public scoping process to solicit public 

comments and identify issues, 

opportunities, and concerns that should 

be considered in the preparation of a 

Draft EIS. The scoping period will end 

on July 16, 2012, or 15 days after the 

date of the last public scoping meeting, 

whichever is later. In order to ensure 

consideration in the Draft EIS, all 

comments must be received prior to the 

close of the scoping period. Western 

will provide additional opportunities 

for public participation upon 

publication of the Draft EIS. The public 

will be notified in advance of future 

opportunities for participation as the 

EIS is prepared. 

To provide the public with an 

opportunity to review the proposal and 

project information, Western expects to 

hold two public meetings: One meeting 

in Estes Park, Colorado and one meeting 

in Loveland, Colorado during the public 

scoping period. Western will announce 

the dates and locations of the public 

scoping meetings through local news 

media, newsletters, and posting on the 

Western Web site at http:// 

ww2.wapa.gov/sites/western/ 

transmission/infrastruct/Pages/EstesFlatiron.aspx, at least 15 days prior to 

each meeting. Western will consider all 

comments on the scope of the EIS 

received or postmarked by the end of 

scoping. The public is invited to submit 

comments on the proposal at any time 

during the EIS process. 

ADDRESSES: Comments related to the 

proposed Project may be submitted by 

mail to Tim Snowden, Western Area 

Power Administration, 5555 E. 

Crossroads Blvd., P.O. Box 3700, 

Loveland, CO 80539–3003, fax (970)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information on the proposed 

project, the EIS process, or to receive a 

copy of the Draft EIS when it is 

published, contact Tim Snowden by the 

methods noted above. For general 

information on the DOE’s NEPA review 

process, contact Carol M. Borgstrom, 

Director of NEPA Policy and 

Compliance, GC–54, U.S. Department of 

Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue 

SW., Washington, DC 20585–0119, 

telephone (202) 586–4600 or (800) 472– 

2756, fax (202) 586–7031. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western is 

a Federal power marketing agency 

within the DOE that markets and 

delivers Federal wholesale electric 

power (principally hydroelectric power) 

to municipalities, rural electric 

cooperatives, public utilities, irrigation 

districts, Federal and State agencies, 

and Native American tribes in 15 

western and central states. 

Western initially began preparation of 

an environmental assessment (EA) for 

the Project. Western’s proposal was 

under a class of actions in the DOE 

NEPA Implementing Procedures (10 

CFR part 1021) that normally requires 

the preparation of an EA. Subsequent to 

the EA determination, Western held 

public meetings and received many 

written and oral comments from the 

public and agencies on the proposal 

during the scoping period. The public 

expressed several concerns regarding 

the impacts of the proposal and some of 

the stakeholders requested evaluation of 

additional alternatives. Based on these 

factors, Western determined that an EIS 

is the more appropriate level of NEPA 

review.1 Therefore, Western will 

prepare an EIS on its proposal to 

upgrade and co-locate two existing 

separate transmission lines on a doublecircuit transmission line on one ROW. 

Western will coordinate with 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies and potentially affected Native 

American tribes during the preparation 

of the EIS. The U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, Arapaho 

and Roosevelt National Forest (Forest 

Service) will be a cooperating agency on 

the EIS since it requires NEPA review to 

support its decision on whether or not 

to grant a Special Use Permit for parts 

of the transmission line located on 

National Forest Service System lands. 

Western will invite other Federal, State, 

local, and tribal agencies with
