BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Bonneville Power Administration 

Albany-Eugene Transmission Line 

Rebuild Project 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), BPA intends to prepare an EIS 

on its proposed rebuild of a 32-mile 

section of the Albany-Eugene 115- 

kilovolt (kV) No. 1 Transmission Line in 

Lane and Linn counties, Oregon. The 

deteriorated condition of this 70-year 

old line compromises BPA’s ability to 

maintain reliable electric service and 

poses a safety risk to the public and 

maintenance crews. With this notice 

BPA is initiating the public scoping 

process for the Albany-Eugene 

Transmission Line Rebuild Project EIS 

and requesting comments about the 

potential environmental impacts it 

should consider as it prepares the EIS 

for the proposed project. 

DATES: Written comments are due to the 

address below no later than November 

30, 2010. Comments may also be made 

at two EIS scoping meetings to be held 

on November 16 and 17, 2010 at the the 

addresses below. 

ADDRESSES: Comments and suggestions 

on the proposed scope of the Draft EIS 

for this project and requests to be placed 

on the project mailing list may be 

mailed by letter to Bonneville Power 

Administration, Public Affairs—DKC–7, 

P.O. Box 14428, Portland, OR 97292– 

4428. Or you may FAX them to 503– 

230–3285; submit them on-line at http:// 

www.bpa.gov/comment; or e-mail them 

to comment@bpa.gov. On November 16, 

2010 a scoping meeting will be held 

from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Harrisburg 

High School, 400 South 9th Street, 

Harrisburg, Oregon 97446. On 

November 17, 2010, a scoping meeting 

will held from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the 

Albany Public Library, 2450 14th 

Avenue SE., Albany, Oregon 97322. At 

these informal open-house meetings, 

BPA will provide information, 

including maps, about the project. 

Members of the project team will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Action: BPA proposes to 

rebuild a 32-mile section of the AlbanyEugene 115-kV No. 1 Transmission 

Line. No major work has been done on 

the line since it was built in 1940. Many 

of the structures, the electric wire 

(conductor), and associated structural 

components (cross arms, insulators, and 

dampers) are physically worn and 

structurally unsound in places. The 

wood transmission poles have lasted 

beyond the expected 55 to 60 years and 

now need to be replaced due to age, rot, 

and deterioration. Rebuilding the 

deteriorated line would maintain 

reliable electrical service and avoid 

risks to the safety of the public and 

maintenance crews. 

Proposed activities would include 

establishing temporary access to the 

line, improving some access roads, 

developing staging areas for storage of 

materials, removing and replacing 

existing wood pole structures and 

associated structural components and 

conductor, and revegetating areas 

disturbed by construction activities. The 

existing structures would be replaced 

with structures of similar design within 

or near to their existing locations. The 

line would continue to operate at 115- 

kV. Danger trees and brush located off 

the existing right-of-way (ROW) would 

be removed. A danger tree is a tree 

located off the ROW that is a present or 

future hazard to the transmission line. A 

tree is identified as a danger tree if it 

would contact BPA facilities should it 

fall, bend, grow within a swing 

displacement of the conductor, or grow 

into the conductor. Danger tree removal 

would take place concurrently with 

project construction. 

Process to Date: In February 2010, 

BPA announced its proposed rebuild 

and its intent to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

proposed project. BPA held a public 

meeting in March 2010, in Junction 

City, Oregon. Two comment letters were 

received during the comment period, 

which closed on March 27, 2010. Since 

that time BPA has determined that a 

significant number of danger trees 

would need to be removed to prevent 

damage to the line and that a different 

kind of NEPA document—an EIS rather 

than an EA—is required because of the 

potential for significant environmental 

impact. 

Alternatives Proposed for 

Consideration: In addition to the 

Proposed Action, BPA will evaluate the 

No Action Alternative. Under the No 

Action Alternative, BPA would not 

rebuild the line; current operation and 

maintenance activities would continue. 

Public Participation and 

Identification of Environmental Issues: 

The potential environmental issues 

identified for most transmission line 

projects include land use, cultural 

resources, visual impact, sensitive 

plants and animals, erosion/soils, 

wetlands, floodplains, and fish and 

water resources. BPA has established a 

30-day scoping period during which 

affected landowners, concerned 

citizens, special interest groups, local 

governments, and any other interested 

parties are invited to comment on the 

scope of the proposed EIS. Scoping will 

help BPA ensure that a full range of 

issues related to this proposal is 

addressed in the EIS, and also help 

identify significant or potentially 

significant impacts that my result from 

the proposed project. When completed, 

the Draft EIS will be circulated for 

review and comment, and BPA will 

hold at least one public comment 

meeting for the Draft EIS. BPA will 

consider and respond in the Final EIS 

to comments received on the Draft EIS. 

BPA’s subsequent decision will be 

documented in a Record of Decision. 

Maps and further information are 

available from BPA at the address 

above.
