18214 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 75 / Tuesday, April 21, 2009 / Notices 

The no-action alternative is for BPA to 

deny WRE’s request that BPA offer 

contract terms for this interconnection. 

The scoping process may help identify 

other alternatives suitable for 

consideration in the EIS. 

Process to Date: WRE has filed an 

application for a site certificate to 

construct the Project. Surveys for 

sensitive plant and wildlife species and 

cultural resources were initiated in the 

spring of 2001 and have been ongoing. 

Scoping will help identify what 

additional studies will be needed for the 

Project and the interconnection. 

Public Participation and 

Identification of Environmental Issues: 

The potential issues of concern 

identified for most wind projects 

include visual issues, noise levels, 

impacts to cultural resources, socioeconomic ramifications, effects on rare 

plant and animal species, and impacts 

to wildlife, including migratory birds 

and bats. The joint EIS will assess these 

potential impacts for the proposed 

Project, as well as potential 

environmental impacts from the 

proposed interconnection. Other issues, 

identified during scoping, will also be 

addressed in the EIS. 

When completed, a Draft EIS will be 

circulated for review and comment, and 

BPA and EFSEC will hold at least one 

combined public comment meeting for 

the Draft EIS. BPA and EFSEC 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. 

Issued in Portland, Oregon, on April 13, 

2009.

Leaning Juniper II Wind Project 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision 

(ROD). 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the ROD to offer contract 

terms for interconnection of up to 200 

megawatts of wind generation from the 

Iberdrola Renewables, Inc.’s proposed 

Leaning Juniper II Wind Project into the 

Federal Columbia River Transmission 

System. This decision is consistent with 

and tiered to BPA’s Business Plan Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/ 

EIS–0183, June 1995), and the Business 

Plan Record of Decision (BP ROD, 

August 15, 1995). The wind project will 

be interconnected at BPA’s Jones 

Canyon Switching Station (SS), about 

three miles southwest of Arlington, 

Gilliam County, Oregon. The Jones 

Canyon SS will provide the wind 

project with transmission access to 

BPA’s McNary-Jones Canyon 230- 

kilovolt transmission line and the Jones 

Canyon-Santiam 230-kilovolt 

transmission line. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and EIS 

may be obtained by calling BPA’s tollfree document request line, 1–800–622– 

4520. The ROD and EIS Summary are
