line would help insure that existing and

newly generated power could move

through the system.

Alternatives Proposed for

Consideration. At this point the

alternatives we are considering for

evaluation in the EIS include alternative

tower locations near the existing lines,

and the alternative of not building the

line (an alternative we always consider).

Other alternatives may be identified

through the scoping process.

Public Participation and

Identification of Environmental Issues.

The potential environmental issues

identified for most transmission line

projects include land use, cultural

resources, visual, sensitive plants and

animals, erosion/soils, wetlands,

floodplains, and fish and water

resources. Bonneville 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 Bonneville ensure that a full range

of issues related to this proposal is

addressed in the EIS, and also will

identify significant or potentially

significant impacts that may result from

the proposed project. When completed,

the Draft EIS will be circulated for

review and comment, and Bonneville

will hold public meetings to hear

comments. Bonneville will consider and

respond in the Final EIS to comments

received on the Draft EIS. The Final EIS

is expected to be published in mid to

late 2002. Bonneville’s decision will be

documented in a Record of Decision.

Issued in Portland, Oregon, on May 8,

2001.
